I once offered a $1000 to a fellow to prove otherwise. 6 years later still no cigar.

Prove me wrong 

                           Here, from the slot car museum in Houston Texas is a very rare 1/48th scale 4 door Volvo Amazon. This car was only available in a set named Safari Rally. The set was made to sell exclusively though a ware house in Sweden. The set came with animals and palm trees. The other car was red. The set has only come up for I believe 2 times. The last time the set went for $1,500.00. There are many "toy" type slot cars which are very rare and are sold for hundreds of dollars just like the more professionally made slot cars.

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.

Two years ago, Scalextric launched their Ford Puma Rally1 range with the 2022 Rallye Monte Carlo winning car of Sebastien Loeb/Isabelle Galmiche (#19) and the car of their teammates Gus Greensmith and Jonas Andersson (#44). The latter team finished an impressive fifth in the Monegasque event and even managed to win one special stage.
It was the first time that the tubular space frame four-wheel drive hybrid Rally1 cars came into action. The 1.6 liter turbo combustion engine could be temporarily supported by a 136 hp electric motor, so that more than 500 hp came available for a short time. 

Last year, the blue 2023 Rallye Monte Carlo Puma Rally1 car of Ott Tänak/Martin Järveoja (#8) was released. After electrical problems and a power steering failure, the Estonians still managed to take fifth place overall.

This year Scalextic enlarged the Puma Rally1 range with the 2024 Rallye Monte Carlo car of Adrien Fourmaux/ Coria Alexandre (#16). The French team also finished the famous winter rally fifth overall.

From 2025, the electric motor has been deleted in Rally1 cars. They are now only powered by their 1.6 litre combustion engine.
For the Ford Puma this meant that approximately 386 hp remained.

As you can see the Scalextric Puma rally1 is spot on. Its motor is positioned inline and the front wheels are driven by an O-ring.
5 Grams of lead in the nose will improve the balance of the car.

       

1. Hi Guys   I have inherited a large collection of 3000-4000 Slot.it Carrera, Scalextric Flyslot, Scx, Ninco, Aurora cars. It’s a huge collection dating back 45+ years and the vast majority are in mint original boxed condition never opened. Many entire sets numbering from #1 to the last # of the collection. On top of that there are parts motors from the US, scalextric  tracks unopened in perfect condition enough to get you around the UK! Controllers etc… I’ve never seen this amount of cars in any shop in my life!…. Question is, where is the best place to sell and how do I go about it? This, I’m sure, is a one of a kind collection, I’m sure that in the right hands would make anyone happy to own. Any help would be great. Also added to this is a miniature train set collection that is equally as vast and impressive! Thanks in advance.S.   

Here’s the wireless MPD Mini for Carrera 132/124 for F1 and other cars where space is simply too tight.

It’s just 24.8x14.0x1.7
347.2 sq.mm. It’s the second smallest decoder in terms of area on the market and the smallest decoder in terms of volume at 590.2 cubic mm compared to the next 1735 cubic mm.
Native compatible or use with Scorpius controller and Nitrous dongle.

It comes with power and motor wires and the IR LED. That’s it. 
Simple yet deadly.

Of course you can solder any accessory on that you like as the firmware will be identical to its big brother decoder with JSTs.

Again the MPD comes to the front.
Hardware complete.
Firmware complete.
Vapourware delete.


*Soldering skills required.

   

Report to follow once we get home from the Slot Rally GB end of season party...

   

Am wondering if the Matchbox Powertrack system still has a following.
