Re: Magnetic Racing Buildings

1/24 buildings would be nice to do and once we have got a few buildings done we may try one or two. However I expect the sales to be really low on these items. We do have an interest in doing some cars in this scale, but this is some time off as we really need to get the 1/32 stuff done first. Incid...

Re: Bodyshells

Yes Ned is correct. It is not for the want of trying that we would all like to see many car styles in magracing. I have a fondness for 70's saloon cars and these are very small indeed. If you have a look at standard slot cars, many of them are not to scale. For example a porsche 356a done by carrera...

The car drives from the top right and over the gap. With no steering input the car follows the top route and exits top left. Steer downwards (left) and...

Re: Magracing under new management

@vmibert Yes the cars will run on the old track. My test track has lane changes with plates, without plates and and some with gaps. It works on all of them, however we are finding that with the slightly stronger magnets the lane change plates can drag the wire follower down to the track as there is ...

Re: Magracing under new management

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we are still working long hours to complete the new car designs. The chassis will be completely new and have quite a few new features. I don't want to give too much away, but I think it will be quite a step up from the MK1 design. Your feedback has proved ...

Re: Magracing under new management

Thanks for the responses. Keep them coming as its all very useful whilst we finalise the way forward. For the forseable future we will concentrate on 1/32 cars, I think at first getting the 4 original cars back on the market (or something similar must be the first thing we must do. @Ned I think you ...
