Slot car racing is fun and it’s even more fun with these high-rolling racing trucks. The set is a bargain price and you can race any 1/32 scale car as well as the Monsters.

Scalextric C1302T Sport – Monster Truck Mayhem Set (C)

The two Monster Trucks in this set compete on this oval track, leaping over a pair of jumps and swerving through the two racing curves. Track borders and barriers are supplied. The Super Resistant Monster Trucks are tough enough for full impact racing.

Scalextric C3229 Corvette L88, Filipinetti

WAS $49.99 1/32 scale slot car. Ready to run on all 1/32 scale non-digital slot car tracks. The sharp-eyed viewer will have noticed that the 1:1 scale car is a coupe, not a roadster with a top, as Scalextric has modeled it. Even so, this is an impressive-looking model that will stand out on your track.

Scalextric C2917 Ford GT40 Mk II, LeMans 1966 (C)

1/32 scale slot car, ready to run on all 1/32 and 1/24 scale non-digital tracks. Chassis XGT-2, a MKII GT40, was driven by one of the most famous F1 and sports car drivers of the era – Graham Hill. This model of the car pays tribute to the driving ace with a driver figure likeness of the man himself – complete with his trademark moustache.

Hill’s teammate was supposed to have been Dr. Dick Thompson, but he was disqualified by the French officials for an obscure infraction in practice. Ford suddenly had to scramble for a driver at the last minute and came up with Brian Muir. Muir had never raced at night, never driven anything remotely as fast as the Ford Mk. II, and had never raced at LeMans, but he was available, so he was duly deputized into the team for the event and performed well until the car expired.

The Pre-season excitement for McLaren’s partnership with Honda, due in no small part to their dominance of the Formula One Championship in the late Eighties and Nineties meant expectations were high for the team going into the 2015 Formula One Calendar. Jenson Button in particular put in a stellar performance in Monaco where he grabbed the team’s first points of the season however without the support of his Team mate Fernando Alonso, this would not have been possible.
