Scalextric Gronholm Ford Focus WRC
21st October 2008
This is my most recent purchase. So far I really really like this car. The handling is quite different from most of my other cars. It is All-Wheel Drive so I think that is part of it. The accelleration off the line is not as good as others but it seems to have a decent top end. Right now I’m the only one in the group with a WRC car so I haven’t tested it in class yet.
This car has stunning looks, though. The headlights are amazingly bright and I love that the tail lights are next to the rear window instead of above the bumper. It looks really good running in the dark. The interior is cool too. There are even pace notes written on the codriver’s clipboard. The antennas are soft rubber so I think they will last a long time.
This is my first car that has the drive gear on the fron axle. To move the rear wheels there is a belt that runs to the back. I couldn’t help my self and I removed the belt to make it front wheel drive. It was a little dissapointing. It was quite a bit worse. It seemed to roll over easier in the turns. I didn’t drive it very long like that.
So far I really like this car. I think it will be really good when raced in class. It has a lot of potential for some challenging driving.
