I'm new so Hi All!
Just got into Scalextric with my young daughters. We have recently bought a 2nd hand "Digital Ignition" set which included 2 Nissan 350z cars. the track and cars look immaculate!
However when racing them we noticed they are quite slippy and dont grip the track as good as the exisitng Mini Coopers we usually race. Upon looking at the underneath of the 350z cars they both have 2 gaps where it looks liek magnets should be? See pic.
Does anyone know if these cars originally came with magnets and am i able to buy some aftermarket magnets to fit?
I understand some purists will say not to bother with magnets but when racing with my young daughters it is just easier! haha. As we get older we may decide to go magent free.
Any help appreciated!
