Our club runs a Revo Slot Grp2 as a Class ie Mk1 Escorts, Alfa club, Datsun 510 etc.
With the release of the two versions of Mazda RX7 by Revo, I was wondering if they are intended to compete against the other Grp 2 class cars.
 
From basic Pendle specs - if you compare track width with the previous widest Grp 2 car being the Alfa, the RX7 depending on which body version you look at is 2 to 4mm wider in the front Track and 3 to 5mm wider in the rear track. Also they use different Front and Rear hubs which look wider and taller than the Standard hubs the rest of the  Grp 2 cars use.
 
There has also been some historical discussion in real life about the fact that Mk1 RX7s are two seater Sports cars unlike the other Grp 2 cars which appear to be 4 seater tour car types.
 
Just intrigued as what everyone else's thoughts are, as I suspect when they are tuned up properly they will be a weapon and likely will out perform the other GRP 2 cars.

It appears to me that Revoslot are introducing a 3rd era of racing cars along with the Porsche 934. 
So basically they are late 70’ & 80’s race cars. The existing range of Group 2 cars are all late 60’s & 70’s race cars. And the GT1 & GT2 cars were all 90’s cars.
So the different era cars would not have actually raced each other in reality, but that’s not to say you can’t race them together as slot cars ?
