Our Hobby

We are constantly adding to our collection of cars. When we notice an analog car that does not have the equivalent digital version, we will convert that. In some instances when the analog version is available before the digital, we will get the analog as we are too impatient. Most of the time we have noticed that the converted car performs better.

The cars that are produced fall into a number of categories, I will try and group them accordingly:

WTCC (World Touring Car Championship)
This is a GT championship in which names like Peugeot, Alpha Romeo, BMW, Seat and others compete. The WTCC championship consists of 10 races held in different countries: Brazil, Britain, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain and Turkey. Engines are limited to 2,000cc and many technological advances such as traction control and ABS braking are not allowed.

BMW 320i 2005 #42 "J. Muller / A. Priaulx". (SCX13140)

SCX has reproduced the car driven by the German Jorg Muller for BMW Team Deutschland in the FIA’s 2005 World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). BMW was the clear victor in this year’s WTCC, with a winner’s podium thanks to Andy Priaulx, Müller’s team-mate, and second place gained by Müller at the wheel of this car. The 320i has a 1989.7cc 6 cylinder engine with 250HP.

The SCX digital reproduction has a RX-42 motor, rear traction with 18.3 x 9.8 mm tires.

Seat Leon WTCC #9 "J. Gene".

This car is driven by the Spanish driver Jordi Gene and at the Cheste Circuit in Valencia, Gene started in pole position and finished first, ahead of Muller's BMW. This was the first victory of the Seat Leon team. With the 2,000cc engine, 4 cylinders in line, it provides 270HP at 8,500 rpm. The car has a six speed sequential gear box and front-wheel drive.

The SCX reproduction model is a compact, good acceleration and holds the corners well. Hard driving could result in more pit stops, resulting in a definite strategy in order to gain an advantage.

FIA GT Championship
This championship started in 1997, and events are mainly held in Europe, although Asian countries have also been visited, and at present the championships counts on the participation of Aston Martin, Ferrari, Maserati or Porsche (to name a few). The FIA GT events are endurance type races, lasting a minimum of 500km (just over 310 miles), or a maximum of 3 hours, except for the Spa 24 hours event.

The FIA originally established two classes GT1 (Grand Touring Cars) and GT2 (Series Grand Touring Cars), 2006 saw the establishment of a third class GT3. Vehicles in the GT1 abd GT2 classes are based on production road car designs, with some modifications including brakes, wider tires, better aerodynamics, more power etc. GT3 cars, however, are no more than basic racetrack conversions of production models

Aston Martin DBR-9 #28 "D. Brabham / D. Turner".

The Australian driver David Brabham and the Englishman Darren Turner drove this model in the Silverstone race in England during the 2005 FIA GT Championship, finishing in second position. It is a car that has proved highly competitive on the circuits, particularly in the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Le Mans 24 Hours where it also won. The Aston Martin DBR 9 is the GT version of the British make’s new grand tourer, destined solely for competition and exclusive customers. The car is equipped with a 60º V12 engine that can put out up to 600 hp. It has an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission and is fitted with rear-wheel drive. This model has ventilated carbon disk-brakes fitted to all four Michelin shod wheels.

The vehicle has a long body length, as does the SCX digital reproduction. This affects its performance and use of the brakes before the curves is necessary to avoid losing the rear end when starting the turn. The series magnet can be adjusted by bringing it closer to the track, which will improve road holding, although your overall speed will also decrease.

Ferrari 360 GTC 2005 #86 "Rosa & C".

The Ferrari 360 GTC was driven in the 2005 season by the Italians Gabrio Rosa, Luca Drudi and Fabio Babini, finishing in fifth position. The racing version of the vehicle has a centrally mounted 90º 3.6 litre 8V engine with an output of 430 hp at 8,500 rpm. It has a six-speed F1 type gearbox and rear-wheel drive.

The length of braking with the SCX digital reproduction model, is extended noticably with a full tank of fuel. Also do not delay refueling if you are down to 2 orange bars, it could be the end of the race for you.

Chevrolet Corvette C6R 2005 #64 "Magnussen / Beretta / Gavin".

This vehicle was reproduced from the flagship of the Corvette Racing Team and was the winner of the GT1 category in the 2005 Le Mans 24 hours event. The Corvette Racing Team celebrated it's 50th anniversary in 2004 and the abundance of titles that they have won over the years, demonstrates that they remain at the very top of international endurance racing. The vehicle is equipeed with a V8 engine producing 600hp. The body of the C6R is built on the basis of the Corvette C6-Z06 platform and is made of carbon fiber and Kevlar.

The SCX digital reproduction car is easy and pleasant to drive, as it is capable of building up a good speed on the straight and hold it's line in the curve.

Seat Cupra GT #19 " Saldana / Valero".

This Seat Cupra was driven by Toma Saldana and Juan Valero during the 2005 Spanish GT Championship round in Valencia, where they managed a tenth in the first race and an eighth in the second. It was developed jointly by SEAT Sport and the SEAT Design Center. It is equipeed with a V6 twin turbo engine, producing over 500hp.

The type of car has an impressive wide base giving it stability and a very flat way of taking curves. As with all cars in the digital system, it was found that the bigger the car, the harder it was to overtake. This car leaves little room for overtaking. Pit stops and fuel consumption are slightly below the digital system average, however the slower pace does mean that you will need to refuel less often.

Seat Cupra GT #1 " Vivancos / Gene".

Ferrari 550 Maranello #72 "Dor / Alphand / Poucand". (SCX62980)

The Ferrari 550 Maranello has a 2-door coupé bodywork. It has rear wheel drive and a front-mounted 5.5-litre V12 engine delivering up to 485 horsepower. It was the first vehicle in the world to have traction control and ASR (anti-slide) systems fitted as standard.

The French driver Luc Alphand is behind the wheel of this Ferrari , brought to you by SCX®. He was born on 6th August 1965 in Briançon (France) and was an alpine skier before becoming a rally driver. He started out in the Alpine Skiing World Cup in 1984, finally winning it in 1997. The 24 Hours of Le Mans in which Alphand competed in 2007 is an unusual endurance race, not part of any world championship in this category. It is run once a year, in June, at the circuit of La Sarthe, near Le Mans, France. Organised by the Automobile Club de L'Ouest (A.C.O), it is the most famous endurance competition in the world.

The SCX® reproduction car is very stable on bends keeping up with competitors who may have a better burst of speed on the straight but are not as stable. Its only weak point is the delay in accelerating caused by its weight. By adjusting the supplementary magnet using the two screws which allow you to lower it to less than 1mm from the track, you can squeeze top performance out of the cars with magnetic assistance. Driving on a circuit with traffic is not to be taken lightly, but thanks to the adjustable magnet holder you can take bends better than your competitors and avoid wobble while overtaking and changing lanes. Remember: you can lower the magnet by turning the screws anti-clockwise.

Ferrari 550 Maranello #9 " Dietsmann". (SCX62120 converted)

Like the abovementioned Maranello, this model has the classic lines. It loses almost no stability either going into or coming out of curves, so all inertia forces end up in a long smooth skid which can be exploited by working the trigger. The relatively moderate wheel base (shorter than other cars in this class) enable the car to take bends comfortably. The rear wheel track enables it to take tight bends easily, making it a pleasant car to drive. On the down side, the higher weight of the model slows down acceleration and prolongs breaking distances.

I do not have any details on the driver, but will post as soon as I get anything

NASCAR

This is the most popular motor championship in the United States. Created in the difficult era of post-WWII (1948), when due to a shortage of new cars, Hill France, the President of NASCAR, had the idea of transforming street (stock) cars into top racing vehicles.

Since then NASCAR has grown to become the second most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S. with a very large international audience as well.

We have found that the NASCAR reproduction models are the most enjoyable and reliable SCX Digital system cars to run.

Dodge Charger 2007 #9 "Kahne". (SCX13440)

The Evernham Motorsports paint scheme, is different to the 2006 version. Under Evernham leadership, Evernham Motorsports have won 14 races. Evernham was asked to to return in 1999 to lead the team after a 20 year absence, within 2 years the the manufacturer again topped the list of a series they once dominated.

Chevrolet Monte Carlo 2007 #29 "Harvick". (SCX13450)

This reproduction car by SCX Digital is driven byKevin Harvick and owned by Richard Childress Racing. Chevrolet is the most winning car in the history of NASCAR Competition, and in 2006 has won twice the number of Nextel Cup races as Ford and Dodge combined. Kevin Harvick was the first driver to race full-time in the Nextel Cup and in the Busch series at the same time. Harvick is one of the only two drivers to win at least two races in each of NASCAR´stop three series: Truck, Busch, and the Nextel Cup. He again won the Busch Series championship in 2006, this time dominating the series from start to finish. Harvick posted nine victories, 23 top-fives and 32 top-10s in 35 races to win the title by a record 824 points. Harvick finished fourth in the Cup Series standings the same season, leaving him just shy of claiming both titles in the same year.

The Safety Car

The function of the Safety Car has, is to attend to and maintain track safety during competition weekends. The car is driven by an expert driver, accompanied by a FIA observer in permanent radio contact with race control.

The Safety Car is called out to slow down the vehicles when there has been an accident or other incident, which is not serious enough for the race to be called off but is too serious to be left to the yellow flags. When the Safety Car comes out onto the track, with its flashing amber lights, all drivers must form an orderly line behind it and overtaking is prohibited. All laps completed behind the safety car count as race laps.

When the Safety Car is ready to leave the track its amber lightsare turned off, indicating to the drivers that it will be going into the pits at the end of that lap. The drivers must still stay in formation until they reach the finish line at the end of that lap, where the green lights will indicate that they can once more start to race.

SCX digital has reproduced the Safety Car used in the Seat Leon 2006 Supercup, and also for a number of the Spanish rounds of the FIA WTCC.

That is the official purpose of the Safety Car, however we use the vehicle as the sixth car in the race, and it can operate on it's own around the track. This gives an added dimension as you try and manoever around the car as the race continues. It thus performs as a Blocking Car, it will then run on it's own, changing lanes randomly and is a way of practising your overtaking and avoiding collision skills.
