Scalextric Ford XC Falcon – 2018

1/32 Ford XC Falcon – Bathurst 1978 – Dick Johnson / Vern Shuppan #C3923

Another Australian Ford has arrived here at HRW. This isn’t a slot car everyone will appreciate, but I have grown to appreciate them. This might be the best looking version yet, but THAT will be up to you.

We have reviewed the base model a couple of times so I won’t bore you with specifications:

Forum Review 2015 HERE

And in 2017 HERE

As I stated, either this car appeals to you or it doesn’t. I like a car that is different and this fits the bill. But it also looks great and is easily tuned for non-mag racing. Win-win for my home racing.

Seems like we have a new base for the case this year. Maybe Scalextric is changing them from year to year to help us determine what year it was released?

Markings and paint are done well enough for me. These are the water decal markings and they work fine.

Under the hood it’s the same car we have seen for years. Good! I like compatibility.

Configuration: Sidewinder
Weight- 97g
Length- 153 mm
Width- 62 mm (At rear fenders)
Height- 42 mm
Bar Magnet – Yes, under rear axle.
Scalextric Digital Compatible? Yes.

I just don’t know. Is it the best looking version yet? In any case I’m happy to see another. With this car I have enough to tune for my modest home track and that is about all I can ask for.
