I have to re-write the rules to slow these guys down next year. Still, I love the body style of these oldies.

We make them, direct fit for the Sprints Plus at $4 each. One is a remake of the EJ's Watson body, with Ed's permission. The other is slightly different, more like the old K&B.

VERY cool cars. Love those old Indy "Roadsters".
The AMT kit: Built one when I was but a lad. This would have been something like 1963-64? Also built the AMT Jim Clark Indy Lotus. TOUGH kit for this kid "back then"!
That's the only disadvantage to being committed to Carrera D132: 1/32 Indy Roadsters can't be chipped because of being too small/narrow. :(

Here is my1/32 Watson roadster with Scalextric digital chip in the tail piece.
Ostorero car came wth Slot.it motor that was actually a bit too quick.
Now runs stock Scalex motor.Still fast but a bit more managable.
Stock tyres run very well.
One of my favourites.

I've looked through the slotcarhotrod site for these and other than a group photo on the home page, I'm not having luck find the page where I can see the details on these. Can some post a link to them please? Or are these not available for purchase yet? I have two SP chassis just sitting in a drawer and these would be perfect for them.

I'm sorry about that. We got behind on our web updates, and were just selling them in house. Thanks for pointing it out. The page is updated at
http://slotcarhotrod.com/Skinnys.htmlEverything on that page is for the Sprints Plus chassis, and I've added the Roadsters.
