Topic: SCX 1/43 cars

Hey, anybody tried out any of these 1/43 SCX cars? I just got a two pack of "Tuner" cars for less than $15 shipped! They are UG-LY, but they run great on my 1/32 scale Scalextric track. Not extremely fast, but not bad! I like the "CHEAP" part of the formula! Might have to try the chassis under a small 1/32 body....  ---------------Bill

Re: SCX 1/43 cars

I have four SCX Compact NASCARS and purchased two pullback NASCARS in a discount toy store that I plan to mount on the chassis to create four different race cars for some IROC fun (not that I have a track out but still). I ran two of them at Randy's a while back and they are quite squirly but still fun to drive.

On a recent trip to Target I saw that they now have more models out. F1, DTM, and one other class that I already forgot. I have a figure eight set with level crossing with two of those tuner cars also. Fun for a little while but I'm not going to invest in more track. My kids will grow up on 1/32 and HO!

Re: SCX 1/43 cars

George, the SCX 1/43 sets and cars have been getting really good reviews on the SCX forum from users, they sound like a good deal.  The F1 set look like the best one to get.  Lowest I've seen it has been $79.

I've also seen some pretty nice detailed tracks put together in a much smaller area than what it took to put up either of our tracks.  Why if I only had room for one more track...

Don't you have a living room?

Re: SCX 1/43 cars

Yes I do.  And my wife has made it quite clear it shall stay one.  Now if only I had vaulted ceilings...

Re: SCX 1/43 cars

While that's a wonderful idea, something tells me this is not the right time of year to be chopping holes in the roof.

Re: SCX 1/43 cars

I'll have you take that up with my economic adviser.

Lotsa luck there!

Re: SCX 1/43 cars

So has anyone other than Dave done 1/43 yet?  Of course if one of you slot car Santa's wants to drop off a 1/43 scale set, particularly the SCX F1 set, I promise I'll find a location to set it up.  And I've been a really good boy this year.  wink
