    Glad the Classic GT making a comeback. I wish it was new tooling for body float like the Fly's. Maybe our track will add this class because these cars will be available and cheaper than eBay but still too expensive at $65?

    I’m liking the look of the Checker cab, a couple of them with a bit of street weathering to make them feel more authentic. Or 6 of them with digital chips racing around bashing and crashing would be fun 🤩 👍

    I really wanted to be amazed, but typically there’s only so many new offerings available. I will be getting the GTI because that was one of the favorite cars of my youth. I probably will be getting a Volkswagen beetle but I’ve held off on previous liveries because I don’t like the fact that they use late model, 1968 4 lug wheels on a 1965 and earlier bug that should have 5 lug wheels.
    Yes on the Michael Keaton era Batmobile and maybe the new JPS F1. Now let’s see what Carrera comes out with.

    I think all this looks good. Overall, it is good to see less new stuff as last year's epic was somewhat overwhelming. I had the pair of Cobras from 2023 and I think I will take a look at the white Jag Mk1 and see if I can rework the chassis. I do like the classic styles and this seems to be more in evidence with all this.

    Thanks for the info travis. Interested in a number of the cars they look great but.... not sure about the prices for these cars overseas but in america dealers are asking 65 dollars and up for a car. I just can not justify paying that much for a entry level car. I can get a slot-it for that price. Do you know if the increase is cost has hurt sales. I see a number of dealers starting to lower their prices in the US. I was able to obtain several 2023 releases for 40 dollars. Afraid it will get to the point where american dealers will stop offering scalextric cars or offer less variety or lower the amount of cars they purchase. Happy new year. Keep up the great work

    Question: The DPR capability means you can just as easily install an appropriate DPR chip to make it Carrera compatible? Scalextric has the cars and Carrera has the tracks. Carrera car selection is really boring.

    • @thatslotcarguy
      @thatslotcarguy  5 місяців тому

      I wish, the DPR ready is for an easy installation of a scalextric digital chip converting a scalextric car from analogue to digital
      You can still find after market digital chips to convert for other digital systems

    Other than the classic Batmobile I see nothing here to excite me. I'm from America and love classic American muscle sadly I don't see a lot of that in slots cars from Carrera although Scalextric does a little. I have a Carrera digital track so love to see a 1/24 American muscle or just more American muscle in general besides a mustang which is overdone.

    Travis: Sorry not to "fanboy" but like Carrera, Scalextric 2024 is underwhelming. I am sure there are many that will like them but between the crappy paint that I got on 2 cars last year and the MSRP prices, its a no for me.

    • @SlotCar2021
      @SlotCar2021 6 місяців тому +1

      I normally have the same attitude but I thought the Mr Bean car was great quality and couldn't fault the colours, paint or finish. I have recently bought a Joker car and that is really nice. I do agree the price of Scalextric cars vs hobby grade doesn't add up and most cars are not worth the money. The VW GTI does look good and with some new running gear would probably run magless.
      I think and hope 2024 is the year Scalextric could redeem themselves. The hot laps set looks very good and innovative, can't wait to find out more about that set.
