#618 Scalextric - Lancia Lc2 “Totip” In Addition To Porsche 956 “Skool” (Ref. C016 In Addition To C018) (1985)

Scalextric owners get got ever taken contest really seriously. Especially inward the former days, many people used to play tricks their cars to brand them faster too to a greater extent than estable: yesteryear modifying the motor, modify the axles length, the width of tyres or making the automobile lighter too lowering the gravity center. As a "scar" of these practices, at that topographic point are many former cars inward which the trunk of the automobile over the wheels has been modified to permit bigger wheels than inward the master model.

Slot cars manufacturers never payed attending to this fact, or at to the lowest degree the most pop ones. Scalextric Espana (at the fourth dimension controlled yesteryear Exin) noticed this too inward the early on 80s (from 1982 on), they released a describe of piece of employment of cars designed peculiarly for the competition. I got 2 1 christmas (they were alongside the kickoff cars I ever got/bought) too they were actually amazing. Faster similar hell (mostly compared to the ordinary models), never got out of the track, simply ugly... this is something nosotros understand, since the normal inyected plastic automobile bodys get got been replaced yesteryear a really affair too delicate flexible plastic, with almost no weight. Fortunately these cars had really few "accidents" thank y'all to their powerful magnet. Otherwise, they would live really hard to honour inward practiced atmospheric condition nowadays.

Another weak betoken of these models is that the plastic (if originally white) yellows rather remarkably.
Among the models released yesteryear Scalextric I got the to the lowest degree ugly models: a Ferrari F1 too a McLaren F1. There were equally good several Sport Prototypes (like these two) too several rally cars (among them a Peugeot too a Mercedes).

To increase the feeling of having a dandy slice of machinery, each automobile was sold with 2 extra axles to customize the automobile too a minor wrench. All cars were of class equipped with soft, broad slicks too aluminium rims.

The SRS serial was updated a few years afterwards yesteryear the SRS2 serial (starting inward 1992 or perhaps a flake earlier, since about models with the delicate trunk get got equally good been spotted inward bluish SRS2 boxes), inward which the bodies of the cars were adapted to await similar ordinary models, too the chassis was equally good modified and, I guess, improved inward about way. We volition perhaps speak well-nigh the SRS2 another time.
