You can pic up a nice scalextric 1/32 scale slotcar with awsome detail on ebay too. I run them on my track .I just bought another mkll (buy it now for $30 with free shipping). a 1/32 gt is about 5 inches long.sorry my pic isnt better , but hey it is my track,,lol ,Dan

Andrew,

IMHO, the nicest models so far are the 1:20 scale Creative
Masters by Revell:

They run anywhere from $60 - $100+ on eBay. There's signed
and unsugned versions, and the number 9 car commands a higher
price since fewer were made.

Also, IXO makes a nice 1:43 scale car. On eBay often, and
runs in the $40 range:

the lola has awsome detail. it even has a real spare in the back. The handeling was terrible , but,,,hahah I added silicone tires, and a extra magnet for traction and a set of working headlights so i can see it with the lights turned down at "night" racing and now its a hoot!here are 2 pics that i didnt take of the same car from fly the manufacture.

this one is a version "after a 12 hour race" cool huh

Dan Weilacher · 10-31-03, 12:25 AM

and here is a pic of the mkll gt that i just bought off ebay, you may like this one, already has the working headlights ! The gt is pretty good out of the box. I dont like them to handle so you can close your eyes and drive but fast and still sliding the back end off the corners is perfect!

There are a couple of new ones by Fly, out very soon that I have been told are very detailed and not too expensive. Hunt on the net and you will find one.
