Thinks the son is getting one of these for his birthday lol

 

My youngest son is 10 on New Years Eve, so this is perfect for him, they are hard to locate so be quick.
Tomorrow I shall be mostly driving to Ellesmere Port, to pick it up, roll on his birthday

big-grin

 

Haven't got a son - but my daughter is keen and it's my birthday (soon) !

 

Oh well looks like I won't be getting one non in stock !!!!

 

Blimey - it's not easy but I did find one fairly local

 

i got 1 for my son to @ ARGOS 99 bucks it cost me
evan more so gutted to find that it want connect to the other three boxes of the stuff he's got
we were hoping to layout the mother of all tracks

i don't now who was the most gutted me or him

but the upside is it seems to be a lot smoother than the old tracks

 

That's a bit of a bummer Hmmmm, I have got **** loads of the stuff already just thought it you be nice for the nipper for his birthday seems a bit of a waste if it won't conect to my other stuff

 

Don't know whether this will help - I hope so (from the Scaletrix FAQ)

Q. NEW SPORT AND OLD CLASSIC TRACK PIECES ARE COMPATIBLE.

A. ONE OF OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS is in regard to the compatability of old (Classic) and new (Sport) track. Answers: Classic track connecting to Sport track. Classic and Sport compatible with the use of a converter straight, reference C8222. With a pair of these converters it is convenient to connect all your new style track to your old style track. This means that you can utilise the special track sections from both ranges in to whatever circuit design you are building. RMS gives you the ability to design your own circuits too! All Scalextric stockists should be aware of the converter piece C8222 and its usage. The stockists will also have been strongly encouraged to stock this converter section. The track piece is a low cost accessory. Rubber track connecting to Classic track: Rubber Scalextric track manufactured up to 1963 is compatible with Classic track with the use of a converter section available at the time. This means that ALL Scalextric track from 1959 to the present day can be used within the same layout. I hope this helps but please contact the Helpline (01843-233525) or email me adrian.norman@hornby.com Happy Racing, Adrian Norman Consumer Promotions Manager - Scalextric

 

And these are available from Scalextric shops and cost about £6 The brand new SCX track mates up perfectly to the old Scalextric track though

 

Here you go ebay has them too

 

As far as I can remember all my stuff is like the top section of that piccy ( connection wise )

 

That's the old stuff (got loads of that too ) and the new stuff has connections like the lower part

 

Bugger, i cant pick it up anywhere near milton keynes, found at Birmingham

have texted to register for when it is back in stock at local store.

take it back, get yr cash back & then re purchase at the new price? = sorted

 

Ahhhh got ya well I could get him the Scooby set then, I dug all my old stuff out from my mums last year sometime and myself and the wife lay out one massinve track spanning two rooms ( through room ) it was a real good laugh, aslo bought two new cars a WRC Scoob and a Ford Focus the scoob was far better than the Focus better Magnet could just floor it and it wouldn't come off lol

 

thats a great price for that set!

Also if you have old scalextric (known as "Classic") you can buy the new style lap counter. This comes in two sections and can be used to convert the new "Sport" track to classic.

If I didn't need any more track I would buy this. Just putting finishing touches to my 20m track in the loft

 

Found 2 stores in London that have them in stock

 

Don't buy the converter straights from ebay!

They are only about £2-3 in the shops!

 

That's what i thought but some people are lazy

 

Can't get one anywhere near Bedford......I'm gutted

 

Got the Hot Pursuit (Scooby V Police car) for Christmas. The police car is great with siren and flashing lights! And great back end drifts from Scooby.


Also got 2003 (4?) WRC Scooby and something called an ...ego...Evo, thats it! Not as fast as the Impreza though but they look great.

Also got RMS...so laptop is plugged in and I canplay at being Dave Richards

Reserved mine last night at 1.30 am, And picked it up today in Halifax. Sent the Girlfriend a text this morning explaining that it was for her little boys birthday present, To which she reminded me that it's in August, I think that she finds it all a bit

Oh wel i suppose they will need running in for the first 1000 miles

 

Na Na, Na, Na Na, got mine today for sons birthday New Years Eve.
Had to stand in a queue to pay for it then 45 minutes waiting for Argos staff to find it and bring it to the counter.

Will provide review after 'we' have tried it out.

(I would say 'in second childhood', but the first one never really ended )

 

Walked into the 'model shop' in flackwell heath on xmass eve and picked up the pursuit scalectrix and a free porsche tourer for £79:00 Also treated myself to an SCX evo 7.........


The scx cars beat the scalectrix ones hands down....................



All for the boys xmass pressie (of course)

 

Which shop is that?

 

got mine reserved, hope they find it when I pick it up Wed?

 

Marks have the Starsky & Hutch one for £29 That's a bloody bargain! The cars retail for £60 the pair and they are excellent

 

At last, he is 10 !!
Little-G got his Scalextric Subaru Challenge today
Track connections are different to the 'classic' track.
New track is easier to put together and is very flat compared to the earlier stuff.
The headlight glasses all fell out, and during the first race 2 mirrors fell off.
The cars are very fast but not as challenging as earlier cars, they stick to the twisties better because they have strong magnets underneath to keep them on.
The good thing for the kids is that you don't have to keep putting them back on the track at every corner.
Anyone know of any mods available, full decat, new ECU, PPP ?
I wonder if you can get a Wagon version......
