If possible, can we get the weight of the car being reviewed? Particularly those Carrera 1/24 scale bricks with wheels.
Thank you. Carry on.

I can and have in the past. Did not think people cared much. I used to take the time to do data charts but never much feedback.
My next review I shall.

They should be weighed base on their relative size to a slotburger. You know, this car A, weighs 1/16 of a slot burger, etc etc. If thats even possible from what ive seen of your slotburgers! I suppose it would be a lot easier if the cars are 1/24 scale with brass chassis and lead weights. just a thought? but would generate feedback im sure! :lol:

I know I appreciate that data! In fact I have sent a couple inquiries to Scalextric about their omission of their technical data on the new releases (down force, weight, tire width/dia, gearing, etc) to which they did finally send one response stating that they would pass the email on to their technical group - but nothing beyond that. So any info like that that can be shared in the reviews that anyone does would definitely be welcome on my end. :)

Reegs, what cars do you want to know about? I think most are 220gms-240gms.

Oh, ok. I would imagine that Carrera doesn't bother posting the info because "kids" don't care. I think they are somehow in the dark that there are probably more big boys playing with these than little boys.
