Hello Guys....I went to scxcompact.es Today and clicked on EXTRAS then clicked on one of the nascars and was shocked to see a car with clear glass and a full
interior driver and all.....I thought WOW I want one of those....Then find out they really have blacked out windows and no interior.....What up with that ???
Does any body else see this as false advertising ??? Really made me made

Chcuck Erherdt on SCX WorldWide stated there were some erroneous pictures on the site, and that the new Tuner colors would be available in July.
Stand at ease, Slot Buffs!

One of the tuner two packs I purchased recently had a yellar one in it - it may simply depend on what Target orders or gets...
Still...at 14.95 a pair, it's the best value going for conversions, parts and re-paints IRACE...Needless to say I'm in the SCX camp but I agree...SCX should tidy up their website!  |

well folks lets think of this at this angle. If they have a picture of it they obviously make it so does that mean thats one of the additions to the new cars
thats coming out. That would be cool!

Anybody been to the Artin Website lately? Doesn't look like it's been updated in years. Websites are probably an after thought for the manufacturers.
They have more important things to do.

carrera takes its website important, they show their additions as well as the stuff available. Also dates when the new things should come out. Even when these
date are always wrong in the year number
SCX compact started the website with their new 1/43rd range and kept it up to date by now. Hopefully the interiors are the new thing for this year. As well as a softer tire compound, maybe (hint, hint). artins website .... well they have a website, maybe. |

Ya feel like Artin is being left behind?
Everybody needs to go to SCX Worldwide. You don't have to pay the $35 to post. Check with Dave K on how. Lots of good info in the Forum.

The WindRacer bodies pop up on eBay from time to time for a couple a bucks...and they seem like they were made for the SCX NASCAR chassis - fun conversions and
fun to drive!
Nice one there SCOOB! |

From what I've read the Compact cars are not going to have interiors for awhile; apparently some of it depends on the market and contined/ Increasing
popularity. It's a cost issue, if they can do it for a low enough cost and can charge enough extra to make a profit, they might try it at some point down
the road a bit.
Best plan to get interiors is to buy plenty of Compact cars! 
some of the pictures are "artist renderings" and may also be used for 1/32 scale cousins which would have interiors!

Armature here,
I was in a Target near where i live, found that they were clearing out scx compact stuff. I bought 2 sets of the Tuning series sets and the 2 car nascar package, bought 2 also, for parts if needed. I set up one of the sets and pretty impressed how the cars ran, i ran as fast as the cars will handle in the figure 8 track. Target where i got the cars, etc not straight track only the 90 degree curved, but i will get the straights. I also have 3 nascar race sets that radio shack sold a few years ago. I know there is no adapter track to mate to the scx track, but i will make my own. I will take aparts the cars and check for any problems, also take apart the motor and rebuild it. As i increase the length of the track, i will will use a power supply with aleast 1 -2 amps, the set s come with a 12vdc 600ma power pack, its ok, but higher amps will be better. I am into the big slot cars so i know how to work on the cars and i have scratch built from brass chassises I will post on what i did. |

Hello Guys, Target is clearing out some of the older stock to make room for the new cars which should arrive in August, if they haven't already arrived at
some of the newer stores.
And as far as I've heard the Compact cars wont' have interiors. As you guys mentioned those are representations of the finished cars, not the actual slot cars. DK |
