Autoart 1/24 slot cars

Post by dangermouse »

Picked these two up recently they are beautiful cars. Both are so crisp and clean with amazing detail.

As for performance the tyres on the Subaru aren't the greatest - a little bit slippery on my wood track. The Porsche has interesting tyres on them - grip is ok but the rims and tyres are a little odd. The rim doesn't have a centre boss and the tyres feel like they are hollow. Think it might be a challenge to make/find a suitable replacement. I may go with foam tyres glued on. Will need to do a bit of hunting around.

The Porsche went better than the Subie - so I am sure with a bit of work I will get both of these driving a standard comparable to a 1/32 car

Well I did a little bit of work on this (and my computer timing system) and I managed to get a few laps with a best of 5.2 - by comparison my new slot.it GT40 with no work was 4.9 and my Ninco Lexus which is traveling well at the moment was 4.6
