Ember Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm not a real Group 5 fan, but the JPS livery makes almost anything look good. That one included. What's your opinion on the chicky babes? Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Ember Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 And price aside? How's the modeling... paint... liveliness. They look good in the official pics, but they're all fairly distant.

miveson Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Here you go Embs - some more close up pictures of the Racer figures.... initial thoughts on the figures is that they are pretty good - Beatrice does feel a tiny bit over scale but that may only be because she is pictured with the very low M1. Only thing I don't like is the JPS stickers on the figure - they look a bit funny against the black pants/top.

Ember Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Paint job could be better. But then I suppose they're for mass consumption so a lick and a promise would be all they'd get. Hmmm... Better wash them, lads. Damn though, that car is real nice. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Paul Lorenz Esquire Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) I recently got these three cars given to me for nothing at all. Along with a stack of classic Scalextric track that has seen far better days and a quite a few bits n bobs in the way of trackside accessories. As you can see these cars are in need of wheels n tyres. The originals are kicking around but are in most cases worn so that they no longer fit tightly on the shafts, or just plain broken. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of replacements that would look good and work well. Doesn't have to be original. I also have to get magnets for them but I've seen some good ones on evilbay. The chassis on the Lancia seems to be a bit warped as well. Any suggestions on a fix for that? Thanks guys Edited October 24, 2014 by Paul Lorenz Esquire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco01 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Great to see these didn't go into the "kiddies" play box, Paul.... Ok - might be able to help with straightening the chassis... pm me and I'll give you a bit of a run down on what's involved. I have straightened all 6 of my Slot-It GT40's and the motor pods - without one issue - and all perfectly straight. frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gref Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Finally tracked one down thanks to Jimmi. Shoulda bought one when it came out!

dangermouse Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Is that the Tasmanian Tiger of V8 cars the elusive Tander car that everyone is chasing? I don't collect the V8 cars I have 4 of them but seems I bought the wrong ones - no one is chasing the ones I have I think the only rare one I have is the Betta 888 car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... Better wash them, lads. Damn though, that car is real nice. Your not wrong there, I've always had a soft spot for a jps livery but on that beemer its a perfect match! And generally a great slotcar it adorns too. I have one of the other sidewayz M1's and its a pleasure to use and very quick. Definitely one of the best slotcars ive seen for a while, looks and in use :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miveson Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 The new L34 has arrived...... some rather ordinary shots of the car - don't have time to photograph it properly at the moment.... First impressions are that the car is very nice - A few issues with tampo, door trim, wheels and lack of cigarette branding (but we all knew that anyways)..... If I had a decent photo to compare the car with it would help greatly... Should be in Australia early December.....

aquakiwi Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Got this little beast yesterday and having a play with it, I need to find some suitable rear hubs.

Wobble Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) I kinda like them. Thinking about getting one myself, so how does it go so far with current mods? Actually, looking at the photos has just about swung it for me. Looks like TOO much fun. Edited November 27, 2014 by Wobble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
