Scalextric Monte Carlo First Impressions

[Mayberryman]

I think that this car is a Homerun for Scaley, the fairly large wheel openings are very typical of a short track of the era. With the many decal makers out there the possible liveries are many. One of the clubs I run with does have a vintage NASCAR class and up till now the Scaley Dodges and Torino have ruled the roost out doing the fairly hard to find Monogram and the top heavy Carreras hands down. I am in the process of converting one of the Aussie Falcons to a Torino to pair up with my Donleavy Torino but I can not wait to get the Monte to possible paint it as the Green #6 that Richard drove at Charlotte one year when they destroyed both of their own cars.

Ver nice! Cant wait to get one. ...but the first thing Im gonna do is remake the fenders and 1/4s with more shape.

Sounds like a nice project. Thanks to this car, we have the chance to play a little.

I'll test that puppy against the scx missles here for you on the oval

[Jesla]

Skole Bandit anyone?



Terry Labonti... maybe?

[HomeRacingWorld]

Great looking for fantasy right? Whoever came up with those schemes is a slot car genius!

[Jesla]

I have no complaints.... looking forward, to the Blue and Yellow, and then Black.

Sorry posted in the wrong thread.
But I would say, why not having a whitekit of the monte?

[Fathead59]

If they had a white kit they wouldn't sell any of the other kits, everyone would be making all of their favorites colors

[HomeRacingWorld]

There will be a white kit, but I will say you will be incorrect. Not everyone wants to paint/model. I will happily race the fantasy schemes here as well as paint.

Plus, you don’t need a white kit to repaint. Just strip the old and start new.

Since my own replica liveries NEVER come out looking as well as the RTR liveries I have to agree with Harry. If I got these cars I'd imagine redoing them as actual NASCAR replicas from the 80's, but probably end up leaving them as is.

Question - if the #33 driven by Harry Gant was available, but cost $20 more than a fantasy livery, would you buy it?

Dave -
Will they be white kits (i.e., separate pieces) or white cars (fully assembled but unpainted like Scalex has done in the past)?
