Another new brand name from Spain has appeared in our hobby with a fresh take on an old classic. More selection in our hobby is usually a good thing and with my interest in the classics, I had to take a closer look.

This review is a mix of videos and photos.

The new Falcon slot cars website tells us we are in for a “epic and wonderful premium” piece of work. I won’t go that far on the slot car, but I will give them credit a for a fresh web presence.

Newcomers to our hobby should know that we have had a handful of brands from Spain over the last several years and sadly most of them were just not that appealing.  The recipe seemed to be choosing some very unappealing (in my opinion) model choices and mixing them with lower than industry standard quality running gear. Top it off with above premium/collector sticker prices and the end result left most of us cold.  The ones that are left are very far from being the our hobby’s favorite.

Even if they claim there are no ties to that older brand, the close similarity to it just cannot be ignored.
