Artin 1/43 track and cars by Dragon-i Toys

[viejoronnie]

What are you feller's opinions of the the 1/43 Artin brand slot cars and track since they were bought by Dragon-I Toys a few years back?

Are the tracks comparable to the old Artin tracks? Are the chassis and motors still as good as the classic Artin offerings for scratch building?

Couple sets on Walmart and Amazon

I believe these sets are the most recent ones on the market since Dragon spent $250k in retooling and new molds for the Porsche GT3 cars.

From what I can tell from the pictures, the cars look nice. Would be nice to see the underside to see if they are using guide flags.

I am not sure why the 143 stuff stalls in North America once guys start building. I have built dozens of scratchbuilt 143 scale cars, and the the building is similar
