Model Land Rally Project

My Car collection

MINI COOPER Nº15: This is a model from the English Scalextric. Very beautiful design and attractive lines, Mini Cooper performance on straights and curves is good. But do not exceed your speed specially on curves, that it may crash for this model does not slide perfectly on them. But this Mini can be handled well enough on hump bridges and banked curves which is good for a realistic rally race.

Mini Cooper features front and rear lights.

CITROËN C2: This is the Citroen C2 from the Junior World Rally Championship JWRC, from the spanish SCX. A gorgeous looking model-car with very nice detailed chassis. Its performance on the track is average, attaining good speed on straights and sliding on curves with great stability which is perfect to the scale Rally. It features xenon front lights and rear lights. Great collection piece.

SUBARU IMPREZA: Very beautiful car from SCX, Subaru Impreza WRC ( Monte Carlo 2005 Ed.) driven by 2003 season champion Petter Solberg is a unique piece from my collection featuring double axis engine (4WD), intesive xenon headlights and rear lights. It attains good speed on straights but its performance on curves is somewhat poor, because its tyres don´t have much grip making the car slide out its back on every curve. But it is not a problem in some point of view, it is a very challenging characteristic from this particular model. Once you get the feeling, this car become very fast in overall.

PEUGEOT 307: This is a magnificent replica from the Peugeot 307 4WD from Scalextric. This particular model features a front engine! The front mounted engine provides weight to the blade helping it to stay in the slot. So, this car can easily slide out its back without de-slotting. It also features xenon front lights and rear lights, very detailed body lines and livery decoration ( Dirt effect and cockpit ). Very realistic and fast, one of my favourites!

ŠKODA FABIA WRC: This magnificent model released by Scalextric features excellent handling characteristics. Skoda achieves an excellent response from the hand throttle when accelerated abruptly and attains great speed on straights and gorgeous stability on curves making this car one of the fastests from my collection. Its excellent tyres and the 4WD system grants great performances on track. Skoda also features beautiful metalic green colours contrasting against its basic white body. Its chassis has a great looking design, intense and directed yellow headlamps and back lights. In other words...Skoda gives a great account of itself at any race!

MINI COOPER BARONS #18

This interesting model has some nice features such as new guides with an easy-to-change guide piece, new spoiler and also intense xenon working lights which make night races much more exciting. A combination of light blue and red, plated details and perfectly painted sponsor logos brings even more realism to this model.

This mini is very light and can de-slot very easily on close bends so It´s well worth adding leads about 5gr in the chassis for a better stability on curves. I believe that usage can also improve it´s behavior as the tyres get more and more flat.

SEAT LEON BTCC - PLATO

Scalextric made a fine replica from the BTCC Seat Leon #4. with its fantastic livery, an intense yellow and silver with a checkered flag on both doors, plated wheels and driver panel. It has detailed wing mirrors and radiator grill, intense xenon front lights and rear lights. Its performance is above average. I just needed to add a lead in the rear since this car drifted very much the rear on close bends with medium speed. I´m really looking forward to seeing this Seat running on my future rally track.

SEAT LEON WTC J.Gené

Although this Seat WTC differs from BTCC only on appearance I noticed also differences on their behaviour. I could even find differences in the sound made by the gears. I know the chassis mold are absolutelly identical, but my Seat Leon WCT was a little bit slower in overall than BTCC. Of course I´m dealing with milimetrical differences which make them unic. Well, but WTC has a very nice Red Bull livery, orange, blue and yellow colours contrasting well against the track, plated wheels and dark movistar sponsor spoiler. Fantastic!
