SCX Compact vs Artin and Carrera GO

I finally tried my new SCX compact cars last weekend. I have an Artin Track, cheap and fairly good. I first tried both Nascar cars, they went smooth and fast, but I had a problem, they used to

jump after the lap counter. I realized which the problem was later. For guides, SCX Compact have the normal ones they have in 1/32, long ones. In Artin and Carrera GO they are just pins. So in the counter track the SCX Compact jumped from the track. Once the problem was solved they ran O.K. Then I try one of them against an Artin one. First again a truck from the Havy jitters set and then against a Corvette. There was no competition in any of them. The truck never goes out of the track, it does not matter how fast you go, it is just a toy and the Corvette was too nervous and not fast enough for the Ford Fusion. Later on I tri

ed it against the Carrera Go Viper, this one is a better one than the Artin, but it was not as good as the SCX Compact. So if for almost the price of an Artin car and cheaper than a Carrera Go you can get a SCX Compact, the result is easy. The problem is that there are only two different set on sale (Tuning and Nascar). So SCX please, make more different sets...

Best HO set for 2010

This year my proposed set is this one: Super International Our Most Popular Set Gets Even Better! You'll notice the new look of the box, sure, but the big news is the cars. Four cool new bodies with new liveries – all mounted on our newest, fastest, best handling Mega-G chassis. No one can match the Mega-G for speed or fun.

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...
