how cool is that, why didt they have toys like that when i was a kid

Kaceys on 3 but has a scalextric and she really loves it, so i may have to buy it for her of coourse i will have to test it

 

we need links

 

This thread is nothing without videos!

 

aye

 

 

they did have it when we were kids - i used to squirt wd40 on the track

have you tried driving a modern scalextric car against an old one? they grip far too well. no chance of wheel spins or drifts normally (even though they've got welded diffs )

 

time to buy buy buy and make a track that resemles the ring

 

cheapest i found it so far is Ł69 delivered

 

we got one at work, its fucking rubbish IMO, sorry

 

i aint buying then

 

cheers steve, i wont bother then looked cool on tv tho

 

LOL...

I have an original Mini in Box from pre 80..

Its fucking mental - in a straight line it comes to a corner and just hangs the arse and thats the end of that...

Fucking hilarious just giving it full throttle and watching it bounce up and down trying to get grip and then it just fucks off fish tailing.

I think the rear diff and axle combo may be bent- anyone recommend a good breaker or uprated item? PMSL

doesnt look like "REAL" scalextric either, some poor imitation

if it dont say scalextrix on the box its not scalextric

 

trust me, the drift one we got at work is proper scalextric, proper box, proper track, and 2x 350Zs.

and its fucking gay

then again all scalextric is in my eyes so maybe in not the best judge

 

They had similar years ago with Mini's or stock cars so it's nothing new just relaunched. Wonder if they'll do that with the pitstop and Le Mans start. Used to be able to get articulated lorries as well when I was a kid.

 

its a shame it aint any good, it sounds like good fun... a tempting buy never the less

 

The cars made by Fly are pretty cool.

 

used to have superstocks that would do 180's and go both ways.............donuts with wd40....

 

Much better with race and chase

 

Race and chase was the daddy I used to have that and my cousin. can't beat a huge ramp in the middle of the track that you can use to make the cop car crash

 

OMG I had Powertrack when I was a kid. So cool. Still got some of it boxed away in the loft. No car though except a ropey old green SAAB. Rest got bashed as only a child can

 

i had one like that

think its still at me mums but the cars are fookd

 

i still got a superstox car and an artic ..

ill dig em out and stick up the pics
