NEWS: Flyslot Brabham BT44

Flyslot Brabham BT44
Argentina 1975 GP, Martini Racing Team, C.Reuteman

FlySlot have just release their latest offering, Brabham's BT44 from 1975 and if the photos are anything to go by, she's going to be a cracker!  Fly and FlySlot have been releasing historic F1s for many years now and the BT44 is a welcome addition, its great to see FlySlot releasing an completely new model.  I think you'll agree that the Martini livery is absolutely striking.  Like all Flyslot classic F1s, the BT44 comes with front steering wheels, something I really like.

If initial sellout sales here in Australia are any indication, you'd be wise to place an order at your favourite slot shop if you want one.


From Wikipedia: 'The Brabham BT44 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray, Brabham's chief designer. An update of the partially successful BT42 of 1973, the BT44 was a simple design with a standard Ford DFV/Hewland gearbox combination, but was very clean aerodynamically. Murray had an eye for clean lines, and the BT44 was particularly graceful. He was also a forward thinker, and tinkered with side skirts and airdams on the car, a precursor to ground effects aerodynamics.

Sponsorship came from Martini.  The 1974 season was successful for Brabham. Carlos Reutemann took 3 wins with the car, partnered by Carlos Pace who was able to string a series of promising results together. Brabham finished at a fighting fifth place in the Constructor's Championship after a closely fought season.'

NEWS: NSR BMW Z4 GT3

NSR BMW Z4 GT3
1193AW "Test Car Silver TRIANG", AW King EVO3

NSR have released some impressive photos of their soon to be released BMW Z4 GT3.  The Z4 is a very popular GT3 model at the moment, Scaleauto set the ball rolling last year with Carrera following suit.  Along with NSR, Scalextric will also be releasing the Z4 this year as it's PCR ("Pro Chassis Ready") maiden release complete with Slot.it running gear.  That makes 4 manufactures competing for your Z4 dollar so plenty of options.

It's no surprise that the first NSR livery will be the silver 'Test Car' livery as is the norm with most NSR new model releases.  Hopefully we'll get a race livery next, (Studie AG would be great) although I won't be surprised to see another plain colour release such as red.


From NSR: 'The BMW Z4 is an innovative model with high tech components, highly performing on track still respecting the scale modellistic aspect.

The BMW Z4 comes in anglewinder setup. The motor is King EVO 21 which has 21400 rpm @ 12 Volts 350 gr/cm.'

NEWS: NSR Ford Mk IV 'Martini'

NSR Ford Mk IV
1178SW - Martini, Limited Edition 500pcs

NSR have just released some awesome photos of their soon to be released Martini liveried  Ford Mk IV.  NSR make a great slot car that's for sure but I'm yet to pickup one of their Ford Mk IVs.  This release in the Martini colours is very impressive to the eye and although a 'fantasy' livery, one I would love to add to my NSR lineup.


From NSR: 'The Ford MK IV is an innovative model with high tech components, highly performing on track still respecting the scale modellistic aspect.

Ford MK IV comes in sidewinder setup. The motor is Shark 20k which has 20000 rpm @ 12 Volts 164 gr/cm.'

1145AW - Nurburgring 2012

NSR have just sent in some photos of their just released Nurburgring 2012 Audi R8 LMS.  I have a NSR R8 and its a great slot car on the track, highly enjoyable and responsive to drive.  The Playstation Vita blue livery looks smart enough that's for sure.

Racer/Sideways have sent through some very impressive photos of their soon to be released (4 July) Jaeger Ford Capri.  If you only purchase a few cars each year then this one is probably going to be one of them; fantastic on-track performance, high-end engineering and one of the greatest motorcars ever combined with an epic livery makes this release a must have - I hope you've been saving!

NEWS: MSC De Tomaso Pantera Gr.3 (MSC-6029)


MSC Competition De Tomaso Pantera Gr.3
MSC-6029, Tour Auto 1973

We have been lucky enough to get some exclusive photos of MSC's new Pantera livery release.  I was very pleased when Scaleauto decided to release the De Tomaso Pantera last year, the Pantera has always been one of my all time favourite motorcars. 

MSC Competition is part if the IBB Auto Racing Group which has a rally/Raid focus.  Earlier in the year I did a review on the Scaleauto Pantera (which you can read below) and the model is an impressive slot on the track.  The Tour Auto red, black and white Pantera is an impressive livery that's for sure.

You can read ManicSlots' review of the Pantera by following the below link.
