I would like to chime in and state yes Carrera is a bit heavy but Carrera also makes a car that will stand up to monthly or weekly racing. I have six Carrera GTs and have raced one of them for a year and a half, after about twenty races my Corvette C6 is still running strong and looks just as good on my shelves as any NSR, Slot It or Scaley car in my fleet. Given the quality, durability and cost factor The Barn Burner Slot car Club is replacing an existing class with a Carrera DTM class next year. On June 11th I will take a fairly long trip to race with a North Carolina club that races two Carrera classes ( DTM And Classic). Carrera might be a toy company but where else can you purchase a car for under $35 race it for several years and still have a better then even chance it will be ready for more races?
One last thought, people we are all just adults playing with toy cars, it make no difference if it is my $33 Carrera GT or my $200 Racer Resin. The fun factor is the same only the investment is different.
