great stuff.... keep up the comparisons - good information for us all, I use the HO scale in the UK, its very scarce over here as everything is in 1/32 scale normally, but we do have some sets in H0 (1/64) I have developed a four lane set for the micro scalextric series we have in the UK, I have about 40 H0 cars, and about 8 sets worth of track. so always looking at content like this for ideas, yes I run Tyco/Aurora/Micro Scalextric cars plus others in this scale too.
Thanks, I don't need another chassis type either but I really wanted to try one out and was pretty impressed with how it ran. They use all the same parts your Viper chassis use.
Thank you so much for this comparison! I've been having a hard time finding good ones my track is not flat so the Super strong magnet cars don't perform well had problems with the Vipers and the Bulldogs Definitely going to try a few of these Thanks!
Thanks Ed, the Super 7 SC will probably be your better bet if using plastic AFX type track, it's a little bit higher off the track than the GTS. I actually prefer the SC over the GTS on my track.
I was really surprised that the Bulldog w the N35 mags didn't drive better. Dusty track perhaps? The the super 7"s are no joke & a real bargain for the numbers it lays down.
Track was cleaned and you saw how the other cars ran compared to the Bulldog. I was surprised too! Going to take another look at it today and see if the shoes need tweaking.
Bulldog has it on price but the S7 is more versatile, I personally like F1 bodies and have many to repair/paint, so I'm sure I'll be picking up some s7 as they seem to run great, but are less expensive than the viper. Now Viper takes the cake for mods, but not every chassis gets the big money parts. Looks like he hit the sweet spot between the NC2, bulldog and viper.
Yeah I agree, I think the Super 7 does hit that sweet spot. I would pay the little extra to get a Super 7 over the Bulldogs at this point. My Viper cars are my favorite, I love how much I can mod them if I want though they do get pricey but you get what you pay for with Viper.
I wanted to ask you what material are you using for the green table top. Recently moved into new house and I am deciding what to do with my tabletop reassembly..thanks..
It's a grass mat I got from woodlandscenics.com though if I had to do over again I might use something else, when the cars get on it the fibers stick to your tires like crazy. I do like how it looks though.
@@marksslotcargarage thanks for reply. Didn't think about the fibers on tires and possibly transfered to track. Decided to paint simple Matte Green. Can't wait to get everything put back up...
Depends what you are looking for. If you are looking for newer cars or performance chassis viperscaleracing.com, jaghobbies.com and hcslots.com are good places to start.
It's not one you can buy, it's a custom layout. I started with the Super International and 4-Way Slit sets, those sets gave me all the turns I needed and I added some extra 15 inch straights.
