Nice job on the detailing of the conversion. I'm starting an eBay resin-body conversion using a Scaley 2F chassis. I'm watching for more cool stuff from your channel. Thanks!

made in vietnam

And the CHROMES are gone

The cost of cars is one thing and when you upgrade it to digital you haul out nearly as much as you did for the car Carrera cars are nice but heavier Cost of digital upgrade around half of the British car maker My go to cars are revoslot and Fly

I have a brand new ac cobra came in the twin box set, well the lights it has are not aligned with the actual lamp lenses, and when you get them aligned they are as useless as park lights on a car on a highway on a moonless night It required surgery to replace the leds to make them effective and noticeable, piss poor quality control

I stopped buying cars made in China.... Junk, no quality control, over priced, lack integrity... Give me ANY OTHER COUNTRY, scalextric is not for collectors. I used to buy FLY till they began to be made in ch&*:/>÷>×'??

Excellent video, 👍

just found your channel, awesome work.

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe

I completely agree with you. My Scalextric cars a poor quality. The chassis is all plastic and tires are hard rubber that have absolutely no grip. The cars are hard to control and loose in the turns. I will no longer buy them.

The scalextric F1 car is missing the mirrors but yep I agree with what you say

Just came across this, Jim - great video. I only have one LM car, a Mazda - which has not seen the track yet. For these cars, I really focus on the looks rather than performance, though I imagine they could be made to run a little faster with some effort. The cost is what keeps me from buying more; I occasionally see LM cars available for around $100, and that helps. The thing is - these are (usually) cars that aren't available anywhere else. Thanks for posting!

Slotit...RacerSideways...NSR...POSTIL...are brands worth buying.

Those Jag headlights are NOT Lucas products! 😜

Elles sont superbes 😍

Many thanks for the heads up! I have an older Scalextric GT Super Cup set w/ the 911s. Nice cars. In 2017 I was able to get the #2814 Mercedes 300 SLR and the #3325 Ford GT40. Beautiful models! The Revell/Monogram models (2008ish?) are nice also. By the way those models with the adjustable chassis reminds me of the old days racing 1/12th. scale R/C road racers - one tweak at a time. Subbed! Edit: Now I recall; you have that cool Suzuka layout!

Absolutely, I am a fan of scalextric and have many of there cars,the trans-am cars are among my favorites! They need to step up their game big time to justify the price they are now charging!

interesting, I've never purchased a finished resin slot car, only kits. I'll probably keep it that way 🙂

I’m sorry, but I personally wouldn’t have bought any more MMK cars after the first one. If I pay that much money for a car, it better be at least the same quality as the LM cars.

In the UK Scalextric prices are more reasonable, on average Carrera cars are 15 to 20% more expensive. In my opinion slot-it are the best value for money car on the market.

Great video, wonderful looking models. Well done sir.👍🇦🇺

A great job. Well done. 😊

A great video, very informative. I've got some of these from Le Mans Miniatures, MMK, and Top Slot, and I totally agree with your analysis. I run all non-magnetic and like you usually end up putting Paul Gage tires on them, so I do race these cars on my track. The MMK cars I usually have to do a lot of work on them to get them to run the way I want them to. And I find the lack of headlight covers on the MMK to be irritating. Also, the way some come with parts you have to install yourself is irritating. I had some Racers in the past but no longer (long story) and they definitely are larger than other 1/32 brands. Beautiful cars though. And they are very quick for sure. Thanks for the excellent video.

I hope you enjoy my comparison of some Resin 1/32 slot cars. I convey an honest depiction and share my experiences to advance the hobby and help others. I know Le Mans miniatures and MMK are both made in France, but for the purpose of this video I am not bashing French quality in general, just a specific manufacturer. Vive la France! Regards, Jim from Oily Dog Racing.

NO FLY

Yes ,getting harder to get cars kinda worth what there asking? Carrera way better built than Scalextric ,for the money. In one year into this addiction,now up to 55 Cars! Eeks I gotta slow down! Na! lol, Thanks for the vids and wisdom,just subscribed .🏎️🏎️🏎️😊

I honestly cannot totally agree with all the points raised, i have been buying Scalextric since the 1970's and find the current models so much more detailed especially the character models (Bond, Batman for example). I would however agree they are expensive this side of the pond and when I go back home to the UK I normally buy at a much better price, I believe exchange rates and export shipping load the price in the US & Canada. I have to add that I have been a little disappointed with the few NInco and Carrrera models I have bought for lack of detail and performance, I should say that I am not a purist and don't really take them apart to examine the engineering, however I respect your opinions but I just don't share them all in my experience.

I’ve had a couple of real duds from Scalextric and have previously made my thoughts known on my own channel. To be fair, some of the newer ones have been rather good by comparison, but yes indeed, they seem very inconsistent with quality control and way overpriced compared to all other brands.

Both Scalextric and Carrera need to have a word with themselves and justify pricing ,iv just bought a Policar Subaru is £28 and is far better components and Quality and the cars arent even decaled which bulk buying of components is not expensive to the manaufacturer, thats how you make money making things ,buy in bulk, build items ,selling the cheap individual components at a higher price in something

Just Beautiful. Make it bigger and tunnel and bridges

I'm not a slot car guy but I love them all and I can see the quality comparisons with them ❤😊

When I collected in my youth. It was the Auto Union, Bentley, Bugatti and Alfa Romeo that were my dream wants. Never happened of course...

XY and XW Falcons are not to correct scale. They are too narrow.

I agree 100% and you haven’t even mentioned the motor wanting to shake free from its mounts. I stopped buying for that and things you touched on. I don’t know how much longer they can keep this up. NOT BUYING ANYMORE

airfix , hornby , scalextric ,, same poor quality accross the range

still the same running gear as in the 70s

Great video. On point 👉

26:00 "Beautiful Oranges" without the Orange peel paint

I really like the quality and design of your older cars. Thought my hobbies are expensive 😯

Those are awesome looking and detailed. That's a expensive hobby for the name, is what it sounds like. What's the deal?

Please, please do not mention "made in China" as something negative when talking about quality. In fact, having them (the german products) manufactured in China is a bonus. You get the quality you want. I know from own experience in various fields how extremely quality minded chinese people are. Please, for the love of God, stop spreading this misinformation.

What?? "Oily Dog Racing"? What an utmost brilliant name!

Ive only been into Slotcars for just over a year now and it took me just one purchase of a Scalextric to realize that it will be my last one. Oh and New sub. I enjoy your content

Switched from China to Vietnam for manufacturing. To keep cost down I’d imagine. And yet it hasn’t kept cost down.

I think you confuse Revoslot with another brand. Maybe Proslot? Revo launched in 2017 and has nothing to do with Proslot. Revo has ties with BRM who make 1/24 slot cars.

To be honest , Scalextric should be a 40.00 brand at most. I refuse to buy there products for more than that.

Brother I hear you loud and clear!!!! They are no longer worth the money. I refuse to buy another one , this is a robbery of the consumers. Fit and finish is trash. I'm not going to pay the same price for a toy brand car as I would for a hobby quality such as , (NSR , SIDEWAYS , SCALE AUTO)… The only way to fix this is to not buy there products. Sure they make some of the cars we might want , but quality is a must for me.Before you know it we will be asked to pay 100.00 a car. For me it's not going to happen. Thanks for the video , you are telling the truth brother. Video is on point.

I'm a club racer in uk we do not race scalextric...if only they made decent chassis that would take slot it motor mounts ...

I quit buying them as soon as they went up. They are just to cheap to pay that price. I have a large 4 lane carrera track and I can say, a carrera car is 100% more durable than a scalextric. And if you invest 30$ in the carrera, it will blow the scalextric car off the track. Scalextric is only screwing their customers and they don't care. To them it's about the money and it show's. Also, if you take that same 30$ and put it into a scalextric car, then you have a cheap 80$ to 90$ dollar car
