Can't just not recommend a car because you have a few laps on it. Tear it down, go through it, add some weight true the tires and then make a better decision about the car. Nothing works great out of the box these days and requires some tinkering with it.
Hi my assumption about this scalextric formula E is on how it performed out of the box, We did a real race with two of these you can see it in our racing video. These performed poorly out of the box, also this test was done with the much stronger slot it scalextric super magnet installed and the car still did not run that well for how much downforce it had. It's just how these formula e cars run do to the fact of the chassis design and placement of the guide and the much heavier motor they use in these also compared to the normal smaller stock type that is much lighter. If anyone can give a review on these formula e cars it would be me as I actually raced them and modified it and it still is not that good even after modifying it. They are ok if your racing them all together the same type of cars but if you just want to buy one to rip around your track because it looks so sleek don't get it you will be disappointed for sure and that's why I said what I did in my test. Thanks for looking.
I'm not much of an open wheel fan, especially the modern stuff, so this car wouldn't even be on my radar. But having said that, I run my cars without the traction magnet, so this one would be terrible for sure lol. Thanks for sharing Steve!
Thanks they are cool looking. I think it's the long wheelbase and weird positioning of the guide that makes it twitchy on the track. Thanks for looking.
Great test Steve, no where's near the quality per the price Scalextric gets for these cars but, with that being said it runs well for being a toy. Thank you for the great content of your videos👍
awesome car, looks really cool and fast, cool looking livery! with your ingenuity, you should be able to hop it up and get it to handle better. you don't like them, so just try anyways, at worst, you'll have to scrap it out. have fun, thanks for sharing Steve! 👍👍
Unusual little car steve ...with that running noise ,it sure sounds like something isn't right ,definitely worth some further investigation mate ...Id love to see a tyre change and some truing possibly 🤗👍
Hi Harry these are weird they are loud as they use this really long motor not the standard scalex motor and it's sandwiched inside the plastic body why it makes a loud noise, the gears are perfect it's just how these are. the tires grip really good and are true with the super magnet it is stuck down real hard but it just don't matter with this car it's the way the chassis is made very long wheelbase and the guid is in a weird spot in the chassis. they look cool though. Thanks for looking.
😂😂😂⁰ is this e car designed for off road sure seems to like goong there. Disappointed honestly you would not expect it to perform this badly. Thank you Steve😮
@@SlotCarWildman Man this slot it scalextric super magnet is so strong it's pulling down hard it's the design of this chassis with the long wheel base and the way they placed the guide in it that makes it drive bad even with a monster strong magnet!
Hmm I like to run magless on carrera track. I am curious as to how it would drive. My guess is like the slot .it nissan r390 I got for Christmas. The only racey scalextric car I have is a BTCC Honda civic and stock no magnet that is a nice runner.
Hi I think the reason why these don't run like normal slot cars is because they have a long wheelbase but mainly the location of the guide flag I think throws it off? Who know but they do look cool. Thanks for looking.
I love Formula E better than F1. The Carrera Formula E cars are sadly not in Carreras program any more, which is sad. But to be honest, I never got warm with Scalextric cars abd this is to me another example, that I won`t ever will. By the way, you never mention, that the oil you are using is also not harming plastic parts. You may mention that in the future, that others won`t make the mistake of using oil on their gears. Remember me writtung that to you last week, that regular oils and plastic won`t go, because oil harms all plastic parts. ;-) The whole car seems to amplify the noise it is producing with the gear unit. Any way, stay in the slot, Brother! 🙂
Yeah these do look neat but they are not the best of runners but I guess racing the same ones against each other won't be to bad, ( see our real race with these I have a video ) Most Hobby type oils made for Rc and slot cars are safe for plastics. These are loud because the motor is jammed in the body. The super magnet helped but it still slides around easy. O well I tried! Thanks for watching.
Hey sit down and watch a F-E race. It's not what you would think ! the race is designed to run out of battery at the 10 laps to go ! you must recover energy during the race there's also 2 minutes of extra power but you must earn it during the race !

Definitely a unique looking car. You’d think it would drive great. Good stuff👍🏻 SCFL!
Yeah they look so sleek but drive the opposite of how they look?
And congrats on your 2K subs!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Cool video Steve
Not a slot car that I would get either
🍻
Yep yep, looks sleek but rides like a jeep!
Cool style design doesn't equal performance. Glad you gave an honest assessment. 👍🏻
Yep and they run even worse with the stock magnet! Thanks for looking!
@BSslotcars terrible
5.5 and something sounds great. But I can understand that it's annoying how often it flew off the track.
It's ok but hopped up with extra strong magnet and still drives like this is just not to good. Thanks for looking.
Yeah the formula E cars have a different design. Cool looking cars though. Hey Steve thanks for sharing
for sure they do look neat tough. Thanks

Yeah those older style ones look neat! These formula E cars are wonky that's for sure! Thanks for watching.
Really cool looking car, doesn't handle too bad - just makes it more challenging. 👏🏽
Thanks they are cool looking. I think it's the long wheelbase and weird positioning of the guide that makes it twitchy on the track. Thanks for looking.

This car don't even run nearly as nice as the other scalextric cars weird chassis set up? I tried..LOL!! Thanks for watching.

Hi I did put the stronger magnet in but this chassis is not the best for a slot car it was even much worse in stock form. Thanks for watching 👍

Nice test Steve!👍😊
Too bad it didn’t run as good as you’d think it would.😞
Yeah, it wasn't a great run, but hey that's slot cars for you, you never know what you'll get!
What a whiney girl😫 Looks Great... & Well, uh... Let's go mags! Of course with the steel shim on the bottom, lol🙃
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Look at those magnets will ya! 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣
😂😂😂⁰ is this e car designed for off road sure seems to like goong there. Disappointed honestly you would not expect it to perform this badly. Thank you Steve😮
Yep they look slick but run like a truck! and this was with the slot it scalextric super magnet installed! Thanks for looking.
@BSslotcars do you have a thunder slot magnet? Only thing I can think of it's got a strong downward pull

That Magnet looked like 2 or 3 times wider than the rails.
Yep stuck down hard but chassis design makes it not rom so hot. Thanks

Deadman corners and E cars don't match up? 🏁
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lew apparently not! Did the test of the ho car you sent stay tuned!
Good looking but runs poorly 🙂
that's what I say! Thanks

That is crazy be like O no my batteries my batteries! 😁
to bad it don't drive as good as it looks.
That's for sure! Thanks for looking.
