SCX AMG GT3 Mercedes-under the hood.

This is a pretty interesting new car from SCX. They don't have US distribution... yet...

Motor specs.

I thought that was a digital car.
The pods are fragile, I broke one just popping the motor out.

I like the detailed specification sheet but the motor (no load) RPM is rated at 20,000 ±12%!!! Wow! That's 17,600 RPM to 22,400 RPM. I knew there was little to no thought put into selecting the motors for slot cars beyond the targeted RPM at 12 volts but that wide tolerance is a bit surprising.

Not defending SCX here...but that is about right for most China motors in any brand. I have bench tested just about every motor in all brands and the variance is sometimes more than this sir.

Many Scalextric for a brand example can be 1500 RPM either way.

It has always been this way. When you mass order by the 1000's it is simply going to happen.

At 10 volts, they're faster than my Scalextrics.

[Dave Kennedy]

Its entirely normal for that range of variation. These are toys....

Very sexy body and livery, nice smooth motor, brass rear axle bushings as it should be! Way past time SCX to have a USA distributor. Couple things could be improved, front wheels on a single metal axle, less floppy snap in guide (I know this can be fixed), looking forward to seeing it run in your next video and the tuning that you do. SCX makes/made lots of really sweet looking rally cars, a great sales opportunity in North America if they would just get an importer.

H,

Do a review on this car mate, I just ordered a Black Falcon livery one out of the UK. I can’t seem to find anyone in Oz that sells SCX anymore.

I know they went broke, and that was more than likely due to paying overtime to the factory workers that slaved building the squillion of your Hamburger cars that incidentally are still floating around on EBay....

...but I digress, I liked Dave’s YouTube video on the car, they look a million dollars and wouldn’t it be good to see SCX back in the game again?

[Zippideedooda]

squillion? Hamburger cars? OZ? oh my, did I bring up the wrong forum?

[Dave Kennedy]

Well as a matter of fact I'm going to be talking with the international sales manager for SCX right now on zoom. Hopefully we can make some progress and find him some more distribution.

Hearn's Hobby in Melbourne sells SCX btw...

[Dave Kennedy]

Good things are happening for SCX.... more details to follow in the coming months I think!!!!
