New DTM coming SOON

[kochj]

Does anyone here run digital crash and burn? I watched the video above and even 1 hour into video there was seldom more than 10 seconds of consecutive green flag racing.

These guys are most likely running full magnets as well.. That doesn't help....
Also.... If you have a circuit with sharp corners, the guys that can't drive for ****, will always
wipe out when on them.. lol...

Sorry, kochj, those cars were magless. Maybe the drivers are better than you think, if you think it looks like their cars are running with traction magnets.

Back on topic, these latest cars are already in use in the DRAWW Carrera DTM series. One by a new joining member, and the other by a member who decided his car was not meeting his needs.

I am choosing to take kochj's statement that we are probably running with magnets as a compliment.


On the topic of these new Carrera DTMs... I am surprised by how robust they are considering the high level of detail.

Any chance of DTMs in 124?

Dave:

Just wondering if there's any chance of this? They have been so popular in 132.

Thanks, Steve.

I'm not able to discuss (in any meaningful way) what "might" be done as you might imagine. Personally I cannot imagine it would be done because the mold cost would be outrageous because of all the fiddly-bits on DTM cars.

I have to apologize as I hadn't had much experience with other brands of cars.
I happen to LOVE the DTM cars... They are Fantastic I HAVE 6 of the Carrera Digitals
Obviously, I like them the BEST of the D132 cars. or evolution...
So please don't think I dislike these cars.....
...... The LENGTH is longer than some of the other cars... that helps a bunch...

As far as the video goes... I didn't even watch it, I just was feeding off the original statement that if guys are used to HO mega magnet cars, come over and try running the 132 scale w/o magnets.... expect LOTS of crashing.... Not major stuff...just the irritating ones aka "wipeouts in the 60 corners ect.... It would be that way with most brands out there...

I got this for Christmas



And I am HAPPY!!! Now to make sure it doesn't end up in the shed with the chainsaw and string trimmer...

"chainsaw and string trimmer..."

By owning these Stihl tools, you qualify as a factory driver!

Wow, these ones look great. Not a big fan of the orange as well but really dig the purple/black combo though.

No worries. The former HO guy picked up the magless 1/32 racing VERY quickly. For his very first ever race, he did exceptionally well and he as been getting better and better ever since. In all likelihood, he had raced gravity/t-jet HO cars in his racing days, but I haven't asked him.

One of the other guys picked up a new DTM car as well. I think I grid has changed a bit since the first race.
