Anyone got any of the the Autoart Slot Cars - seen a few on ebay.

They are pretty cheap, but are they any good?

Not up to the standard of Ninc/SCX/Scalextric as slot cars, but nicely detailed models and good as additional cars if you're going for a theme.

Very heavy.

Earlier models were criticised because they didn't have drivers either, which looked a bit odd.

Incredible detail but as said, comes at the price of weight. Motors aren't particularly lively either. They're good, but not that quick. Bit like the Carrera slot cars but with finer detail / quality.

I managed to find some very comprehensive reviews.

Conclusion is that whilst they are very highly detailed they are not that good out of the box.

With a lot of work you can end up with a reasonable slot car.

For me they are interesting (and cheap) enough to get as display models either for the shelf or the paddock.
