Scalextric Aston Martin DBR9

The ManicSlot Mini Review

Strengths:

• The Scalextric Aston Martin DBR9 is a very popular slot, it has good potential to become collectible
• Rubber aerials and rear-vision mirrors
• Front and rear lights
• Impressive 'from the box' performance, (sub 6 seconds on my track!)
• High level of detail
• Fantastic paint finish
• Strong non magnetic performer

Weaknesses:

• Significant play in rear axle, (can be fixed with a few shims)
• Rear tail prone to break

Verdict:

The Aston Martin DBR9 is an excellent release from Scalextric. A slot that looks as good as it performs on the track. I love the body detail, the countless vents, rubber aerials and rear vision mirrors and internal detail.

If you're a GT fan then a few of these is a must have for your collection.
