1/32 Slot Car Weights

While sitting around one day, the brilliant idea came to us to measure the weight of our 1/32 slot cars and see how much each car weighs.  Some of the results were surprising, some not so much.  You can find them in an attached Excel spreadsheet.

There are some interesting notes:

  1. The NSR Mosler's weight skews the average weight of the touring cars, hence the separate average weights.  It is a good bit lighter than any of the other cars.
  2. Similarly, the heavy Kreepy Krauly March 83G is very heavy, much more so than the average for a Prototype class car.
  3. The FLY Lancia Beta and NINCO Tuning Style 350Z have had no work done on them for extra magnets, etc., thus making them weigh somewhat less than they otherwise would.
  4. The heavy Orbit/Yankees Porsche 911 GT3R has a bevy of magnets and no interior, as it was created for a modified class.
  5. Note the weight difference between SCX and Scalextric NASCARs.  This could be the cause for the SCX cars' good performance.

Have fun mulling them over!
