- In this video I will be reviewing this Scalextric Porsche GT3 R, showing and using one of my latest accessories (guide tab to eyelet adapter), fixing issues and setting up for magless digital racing!

I'm impressed by the fact this body is a new tooling, I originally thought it was just a new livery on the old 991 RSR shell. Have to grab hold of one now!
Yes, it's definitely wider than a scalley RSR.
looks fast
Hopefully it will be.. looking forward to test it !
It's quite helpful to know that sometimes a brand new car might have some issues that need fixing. When you are a rookie, you might think there's something wrong with the chip, or that you ruined something when having a look inside or any other thing, when it's just faulty desing.
I had some cars where the chip just wouldn't fit or clashed with front axle, like yours, but I never dared to even consider it could be fixed 😅.
Absolutely!
Many brands out there just 'bish bash bosh' all the engineering part.
They just wanna sell shelve queens.
Very irritating I must say.
Shocking quality issues, considering how much you pay for a Scalextric. The price difference between a slot.it and Scalextric is at the point you just buy a slot.it 😂.
I prefer Slotit..much better quality...RacerSideways..etc..greetings from northern Alberta Canada 👍
Thanks again for watching! 😃
I bought one of these a couple of months ago and it’s by far the worse handling car out of all my gt3 cars. Within 10 minutes it sideswiped a barrier at relatively low speed cracking the rear bodywork and the rear light lens and bumper flying off. I found the same problems with the protruding chip which caused frequent deslotting. I glued the chip inside the pan but there were still other issues. I put an upgraded magnet in it, the same that I’ve used on other cars but it was binding against the crown wheel. Every problem I seemed to solve made another problem. Sadly it’s been confined to the spare parts bin. Won’t by another Scalextric car with this type of chassis.
I know, it's such a shame. It's a nice model with questionable chassis design. Some guys have designed/used 3d printed chassis to make it a much better car
@@johnny_s_workshop I just hope the new Porches to be released this autumn have a different chassis, Thanks for the video, at least I know it wasn’t just my car.
funnily enough, I got the the number 66 SD team car Parker racing Porsche 911 GT3 car, and had similar issues, the car kicks the rear end out too much and gets caught too easily in the bends, either coming to a complete stop, or leaving the track, I found that releasing the screws a little to let the body float a little on the chassis helps a bit, luckily I have not damaged mine yet, but it's only 3 months old, and I have had a couple of scares with it, rear wing has only popped off once, though thank god and they clip back in these days so that is a bonus, no horrible looking glue remnants left on body work as with my previous DRP cars.
Hi , nice Car . Das ist ein Wackel 👍🏻. Gruß Enzo 😎
Danke Enzo! 🙂
Urgh! What a nightmare. Hopefully it will run as well as it looks.
Hopefully! Have not run it yet.
Great video. Interesting they got rid of the first ferrite man. How well do the lights line up with the LED's? You could barely see the lights on the older Scalextric Aston.
Thanks! I no longer have the car to double-check but I believe they were fairly lined up. cheers!
Why did you keep the standard Scalextric guide vs. an aftermarket version? Also, what type of glue did you use when glued the motor to the chassis ( you referenced that you were going to do that earlier in the video)?
Hi, I've kept the original guide due to club rules. Otherwise yes, it makes complete sense to use an aftermarket guide or even an entirely new chassis with motor-mount etc.... if you wanna race DISCA.
Glue-wise: thick super glue ( loctite - power flex).
I look at that and think C'mon Scalextric for the prices of the cars they should be much better than this.
I agree, I am considering to no longer purchase new scalextric releases before seeing what they really look like (and not some rendered image on pre-order)!. That said: I did pre-order the new Rover that's coming out in the winter, can't possibly imagine what sort of can of worms that's gonna be!
