New SCX Nascar car: Juan Pablo Montoya


The first slot car for Juan Pablo Montoya is here for you to drive from SCX. The intimidating black and gray decoration for the #42 Havoline car is sure to grab attention and get to the front of the field of your slot car race.An adjustable magnet and tilting motor pod will have your stock car stuck down in the corners to give you the potential to pass your competitors when you'd like. The power of the RX-42B gives the Juan Pablo all the power he needs to pass anyone on the track. Details like the holes in the rear window for suspension adjustment and roof-top aerodynamic devices set this slot car apart from the rest. The details don't stop on the outside of the slot car, there is a fully detailed interior with gauges and a driver as well as a full roll cage to add that extra bit of safety in case "the big one" happens during your race. Montoya is the first driver in the Nascar Sprint Cup to be born in Colombia. In his first season racing in the 'Cup Montoya finished 20th in point and won a race at Infineon Raceway after starting 32nd on the grid. He liked the style of racing that stock cars provided because of the close racing. The Colombian had previously raced in Formula 1 from 2001-2006 for both BMW Williams and McLaren Mercedes. In that series he had won 7 races, had finished on the podium 30 times and had 13 pole positions. The highlight of that career had been the win in 2003 at the Monaco GP, which is the premier F1 event.Before his racing career in Formula 1 he had won the 2000 Indianapolis 500 while driving for Chip Ganassi Racing. Not to be overlooked are his 10 wins in CART during his two seasons in that series.No matter what Montoya has driven he has won. His determination and driving skill have brought him to the top of every racing series he has participated in, now you can bring that racing-drive home with you for your SCX racing track!

The history of SCX or spanish Scalextric

In 1962, the English company Lines Bros Ltd, owner of the trademark Scalextric , signed a contract with the Spanish company Exin . This Spanish company would sell the Scalextric products in Spain and Portugal, manufacturing everything but the cars in Spain. After some time, even the cars would be done in Spain. Exin created soon their own line of models, being the first one the famous Seat 600 in 1966. In 1971 Lines Bros Ltd, as a result of its financial problems, sold the Scalextric line of products to Dunbee , Combex and Marx. Exin went on being a subsidiary of Scalextric and selling their products in Spain. And they got more independence from the mother company.

SCX, Scalextric in Spain has had a long history, and a lot of problems. Its beginnings, and the curiosity of the shared name with the British company Scalextric, Superslots in Spain, is explained in one of my first posts  Spanish Scalextric or SCX in the rest of the world . After Tecnitoys, the brand belonged to fabrica de juguetes  Fabrica de juguetes from 2012 to 2016. After many problems and keeping a toy line called WRC  WRC , the brand Scalextric/SCX belongs from 2017 to  Scale Competition Xtreme, SL. (SCX, SL.)   Scalextric . This new company has started focusing on the 1/43 line, will they work as a toy company or will they be back in the hobby field? Please share your thoughts. And Merry Christmas!
