Scalextric needs to step up their game,especially at that price! Their 90s F1 and Indycar cars are much more fun and they look like toys,now they look realistic and are better at sitting on a shelf.
Oh dear, Harry. I remember this Andretti Lotus 79 car as an early teenager and wished Scalextric had made it back then (over 40 years ago now). Now you have given the thing your usual first class tear down and I am not alone in thanking you for this. Aside from all the defects and makeshift repairs you have expertly demonstrated and achieved I should point out two things (1) Andretti's helmet overreaches the anti roll bar and so, and for his sake, please do not deslot and roll the car 😀and (2) the Lotus in real life was more Sacramento green and not the Olive(ish) green we have here. So, yes, it looks 'ok' from a distance but when we compare with the other brands you mentioned then I know where my money is going ...... The Brabham is marginally better executed but once again, nah ... Thanks once again.
Heya Harry,another top video analysis,thank you.As another writer mentioned the cost of Scalextric these days is high,and your video indicates the poor value in many cases,from my point of view its not a huge issue because im more than capable of rectifying factory failures,but the majority of purchasers buy these cars with an expectation of not finding so many poor production results.Its been said before by many commentators spending a little more on more professional brands is good economics.
Do kids want these? No they look old fashioned. Do racers want these? No they are like toys. Do collectors want these? No because they look like toys. The axle is clipped to the body!?!? The tyre spinning on the wheel 😂 what a joke. Not worth anyone's time to work on these. I hope Scalextric watch this video. Absolute shambles. Congrats on doing such a kind review! Not worth buying if they were cheap.
Wow, that was a master class in how to do a positive review 😎
I really like the Lotus as a slot car but that guide location is off putting .really nice in depth review... Greetings 🤗...Harry
LOL and then this happened!
Harry Wise - always fair with his opinions.

Nice biopsies..Harry, these are some very interesting adjustments even for scalexxtric. Most would not know what you have figured out. Thank you

Sad effort compared to Policar.
