Scalextric slipped another couple of Aussie Cars in recently and the Moffat XW is one of those highly anticipated models. One thing I don't understand with Scalextric is why they don't make these types of cars special editions after all it was Moffat's first win and something they could make a bit of a deal about. The car is pretty well represented and looks great on the track, a little better than the Goss car. It may be the chin spoiler and the rear exhaust which gives the rear a bit more depth. It isn't perfect but it is a very nice model all the same and I for one am enjoying the in line engine configuration Scaley are using now.

The rear of the car looks more like it should, i hope they have thrown out the XY molds and just use the XW with different front and rear sections, same as the mustangs

I'm making a 36 Gallon Tank for it too as this looks like it will fill out the back of the car better. I am surpised how well it runs with the standard tyres too it has just the right amount of grip for some fun sliding type racing. I have the Goss one with MJK's and it has just a little too much grip and is actually very fast. The standard tyres make them fun I think it would look great on your Oran Park track Gazza.

Hello guys is that yellow xu1 torana a resin mould or ?????? Looks nice .

[kalbfellp]

The XU1 is most likely a die cast. But I have been casting a resin version for about 2 years, but it is scale so very narrow.

[munter]

The yellow Torana could be one of the resin kits I produced....I made and sold a few kits...enough to kill the first mould.

[Vinno]

Yes it is one of Munter's resin versions. The topic it is in is below.
