SCX Slot Cars

A Spanish brand, SCX slot cars specialize in World Rally Championship miniatures. This should not be surprising, as rally racing is very popular in Europe. That is not to say that the company does not carry other cars, on the contrary, they also carry a wide range of models including Formula 1, NASCAR, Grand Touring (GT and Le Mans) as well as off road models.

For all that, the company is an industry leader, with innovations and company sponsored events which test the hobbyists as well as the mini racers. These events include off-road type races (on tracks, of course) as well as rally-type races using racers with the magnets removed. That is really something to see, as the vehicles would be jumping the tracks, sliding and slipping all throughout the race.

Other innovations include front wheel steering for Formula 1 cars. That is a totally radical concept. And for realistic effects, some models also have xenon lights for front and back.
