KnightOwl Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Will the new "heavier" duty guide blades that came in the new release micro bond set (DB5 v Aston V8) be sold separately? I ask as I have micro scalextric products all new (post 2019) and I noticed a couple of things.Checking the spare guide blades in the bond set and comparing them to the spares from the Batman v joker and also the wonderwoman car they are less pointed and more flattened. I guess this must because of the new lap counter, as the blade needs to hit it pretty fast and hard to register a lap. I also found the other 3 cars have a tendency to skip and not cause the counter to move, even with the spares that came with them. For Nana and Grandpa it's not a problem but for my grandaughter and especially my nephews it led to major arguments lololI'm hoping that these thicker blades become the norm as the kids love the superhero stuff and my wife has laid claim to the DB5 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightOwl Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Decided to add a pack of guide blades to my order to check and...... hurrah the new packets from Scalextric are the heavier blades! Took a picture to show what I was on about. Thanks Andy for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
