Yeah that's a good looking car and another, like the recent Mustang, that started with a primarily white base body. The blue wheels are a nice touch. Is
this the first one to not have silver wheels?

I'm going to have to get another job to feed my slot car addiction. Scaley is really stepping up its game.

I'm not that big a fan of current American Gt cars but that is pretty sweet! Might have to add this one to the stable. QC

If it is a sidewinder, then for me I will be dissappointed. The other 3 I have are all front motor and have ran perfectly for the past 4 years. I will try and
verify this.

Good catch Fletch! I too will be interested to see if this is accurate. I agree with Harry that I like my previous version inlines and I'm wondering if
this was done (on purpose) was it done to better match performance with cars like the Scaley Aston's and Jag's etc.

Hmmm...a rear-mounted sidewinder Viper? I just might be interested in having this one then...

This is one of my "must have" cars when it gets here.
Great paint, new set-up, and just better looking all around. Matthew
Shelf queens...I've heard of those, but I bought it to race it, not look at it.

oh, ohhh... it looks like I may be way out of the standard line here, but I never really liked Vipers and I don't think that I am particularly fond of this
paint job... So it's a definite pass for me. I'm still holding out for Scaley's Gulf DBR9. It's on pre-order and in my opinion much better
looking. Oh yeah, and I already know they handle well.

If this one is a sidewinder, I will buy it. If it is another front motor car I will probably not buy it.

I must be one off the few that like their Viper. I have 2 in my small collection, and enjoy them both alot! It's an under-appreciated car.
But to each their own. Matthew

I like them too! I had my green one with no mag out last night. What a fun car to just drive around an swing the arse end from side to side. One of lifes small
joys that often go unappreciated. :-)

Scalextric confirms that it will still be a front motor design.

Someone in marketing needs to have their reserved parking spot taken away....
