New Ferraris from Mattel - cool. :) Now we need some new McLarens, Renaults, BMWs, Toyotas, Hondas, Red Bulls, Toro Rossos & Force Indias available as singles in blister packs and we'll be all set.

I wish Mattel would get on the ball and improve their chassis.
It wouldn't take much to put it ahead of the other major brands.

Probably just a total re-do.

Thanks for the link Deane. I haven't been to your club's site for a while and it's looking better than ever. It looks like your racing program is continuing to get very strong levels of participation, which is a very good thing. Keep up the good work and good luck with the current race season.

The Arcofalc!

Ran crap but with no development this was no suprise. Does anyone know the how and why of how this chassis came to be?

Only got to do three laps or so. The car was owned by one of our racers, a youngster, his Dad had bought him it during a business trip to Italy. His Dad said it was a dog, some of us did a few laps to confirm it, and then the car was never seen again.

I could ask the Dad what happened to it, but as his lad lived with Mom for many years it is unlikely he would know.

Very interesting!!!! I grafted the back of a BSRT G3 chassis
onto a narrow X2 chassis.The car handled well but was a
dog in the HP department.The weak link was the stock X2
motor magnets.With a set of Wizzard quad magnets,the
car was much better.Is that chassis available in Italy now?

I don't know much about it, it seems nobody does, but it was very real.
