Description
McLaren’s first podium of the 2024 season came at the Australian Grand Prix. It also happened to be the first podium for the team at that track in 10 years. But another first regarding McLaren is the AFX 2024 MCL38 joining the ever-growing fleet of AFX Formula 1 HO slot cars.
The AFX McLaren MCL38 represents - to one degree or another, virtually all the bells and whistles the F1 team used to achieve their many victories. That means the body was painstakingly designed over months to achieve ultimate realism in both dimension and cosmetic design. With F1 it’s all about aerodynamics, which is why AFX implemented the many small but pivotal adjustments made specifically by the championship team. Some of those changes included a reworked sidepod with a newly exposed upper side impact bar. Another was a relocated radiator area that moved to the centerline near the cooling louvres for maximum downforce. The most important adjustment was the front suspension, getting the rearward upper wishbone mounted lower on the nose cone.
The Mega-G+ is easily the lightest chassis you can buy. Add that to the lowest center of gravity and you get a car that is fast and nimble. Most realistic. Best Performance. Fun to drive. What a combination!
The AFX Mega-G+ HO slot cars are best driven with a 90 or 120 ohm controller such as the AFX 21036 120 ohm controller.
