New SCX release (Original and Digital)


Ref. 63480 Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Impala takes the pole position in NASCAR's Car of Today field.

SCX is proud to present the Impala SS driven by the most exciting driver in the 2008 Sprint Cup Series, Dale Earnhardt Jr. The National Guard/Amp Energy C.O.T. is the first slot car to be released for the son of the legendary driver.
The patriotic National Guard blue and white decoration makes Jr.'s car stand out in the field of C.O.T. bodies. Striking white lettering on the hood of the #88 National Guard car grabs your attention as it circles the track. And white side panels on the car gives you a high visibility car that is easy to follow even in a pack of stock cars drafting at 200mph.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was voted the most popular driver in NASCAR in 2007 for the fifth consecutive year, joined with Hendrick Motorsports in 2008. And has driven the #88 Impala to 6 Top 10 finishes through the first 8 races of the 2008 season.
The RX-42B powers Jr.'s car around the high banks of each Superspeedway, while a tilting-type motor pod assures a steady ride even while bump-drafting the competition. For the 2008 season NASCAR is using a standard body for the series, and the Car of Tomorrow is now the Car of Today. The common body is checked against body templates before each race to make sure it conforms to the standards for aerodynamic contours that NASCAR has mandated. A standard body for the teams was put in place
to help keep the costs of racing down, increase safety, and to try close the performance gap between all
competitors.
Modifications that teams are allowed to make are more restricted than in the past. Suspension modifications and engine modifications are areas in which the teams are having to use creativity to find speed - especially since there are only minor adjustments to the front splitter and rear wing allowed.
The new body used in the Sprint Cup Series provides a more secure environment for the driver. The drivers safety was a major concern when NASCAR designed the body. The driver sits slightly closer to the center of the car and there is more head room which gives more of a buffer around the driver during a crash.
All of the changes have meant that racing is more competitive - as all teams have been starting from the same blueprint to try and learn what to do to the cars to gain speed and stay within the new, tighter rules.

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. At this time Scalextric decided to sell more quantity with less quality and Exin decided the opposite. These were the golden years of Spanish Scalextric . Every child in Spain wished to have one…In 1980 Scalextric was sold again, this time to Hornby Hobbies. It seemed Exin would have no financial problems, they e...
