The Slotcar Outhouse

Arrived Today.

The first XB Hardtop has hit the shops in the UK. Sounds like they are selling like Hotcakes. From the first pics I've seen out of the UK, it looks like they've done a good job. They got the number right, which sounded like it was going to be a concern from the pre production photos. It's definately...

I'll put together a full review, over the next few days

This chap from the Czech republic is making these very nice classic F1 cars.

The word around the internet, is that these new versions of the Fly classic are now Inline.

I managed to get a bit more done today, I managed to get the body a bit lower, by taking a bit off the posts and taking a fair bit out of the inside of the body, (she's about .5 thick in spots now). Unfortunately theres no way I can get that slot it crown wheel in and had to resort to the scaley one...

Chassis - took about 2 hours, front suspension from the scrapbox, possibly Scaley. Put in a slot it 27z rear. Ostorero rims and tyres. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff224/DesloTed/P1010009-1.jpg Body on - Need to get it down lower than this. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff224/DesloTed/P10...

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff224/DesloTed/march721x.jpg I Just got the Penelope Pitlane March 721x, I was going to fit it to a Fly March Chassis, but they are a bit hard to come by at the moment and complete cars seem on the up and up in price, so I have now ordered a complete PP chassis ki...

They are talking September next year, so a while to wait yet Phil. Although, on the subject of classic F1, I see the ex boss of Fly has formed a new company - SRC - and has finally delivered the Renault Turbo that was promised many years ago. But at 199 pounds I dont expect to see one in my hands at...

hi Chaps, Heres a link to the preview/trailer of the new Ron Howard Movie "Rush". About the 1976 world championship fight between Lauda and Hunt. Looks like it's going to be a cracker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0peowCAPGeQ&feature=player_embedded Will this result in a spate of '70...

Scalextric are releasing an XB Falcon Coupe this Year.

Nuff Said.

Thanks for the heads up on these Phil.

I nearly bypassed that Williams thinking it was another FW07 relivery.

Now if Fly would only hurry up and do that 1.5 Turbo Renault F1.........(ramble ramble rave)

http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff224/DesloTed/flynewsoct.jpg The latest Flyslot Lotus 78 has been released, unusual choice of livery, in that it is that of Emilio Villotta who raced the car in the Aurora F1 Series in the 70's. Possibly not quite so unusual in that He was Spanish as is Flyslot. ...
