The Monogram 1/24 cars were far from my favourites when I was a young lad........while they could be made to run quite well , they were well off the pace of the Russkit's, Champions, Dynamics's of the time, and , while the Monograms' looked great, none of them ever made it into my slot box.
Fast forward a few years, and I did start to pick up a few of the cars that I did not have/want as a kid, and this monogram scarab is one of them.
It was built several years ago, and with a few chassis mods and some original formula Ortmann tires it goes really well on our club tracks.....in fact, it is much more at home on current "mid size" club tracks, than it ever was on the monster commercial tracks.
