SCX Upcoming Releases...

the digital system
ref. 10020

Further to the release of the first SCX digital system, SCX now presents its upgraded version, which is already a reality. The new SCX digital system is all about CHOICE and STRATEGY: choose cars, players, brake level, fuel level, race information, all thanks to digital technology and the new accessories... starring the Pit Box: Pit Box is the key to Strategy, implemented through careful planning of the number of pit stops, which will determine the setting of the initial fuel level. Fuel level has a direct impact on car weight and this, in turn, affects speed and brake levels. Strategy therefore becomes vital to the game.

This racing system has relied on its two strong points -real overtaking by changing from/to any lane in a two-lane track and multi-playing capabities for up to 6 players simultaneously- and expanded from there thanks to the Pit Box, which has also made possible a new qualitative leap for the system, the strategic dimension of the game.

A a good supporting cast of cars completes this trackset: 2 Ferraris 550 GT Maranello –Ferrari car winner of 20 races in the history of the FIA GT Championship- and 1 Seat Cupra GT “Dommo”, a triad of fast beauties introducing yet another technological upgrade, a new braking system...

  • three braking levels (0% (car inertia), 50% and 100%)
  • programmed from the Pit Box
  • actioned through the Hand-Throttles by simply fully releasing the trigger SCX the digital system is evolving technologically at a fast pace, re-inforcing its customizing capabilities.

But, nothing more rewarding than being chosen by our very own source of inspiration, children, as their preferred toy. Indeed, the recent 2005 European Duracell Toy Survey showed SCX the digital system as the preferred toy for boys and girls alike from ages ranging 5-10 years old. Big Thank YOU from SCX !
