JK Cheetah Mazda Dyson 1/32 Anglewinder Slot Car prepared by OmniSlotBox for fast, true analog racing.

This individual car features a lightweight Mazda Dyson-style racing body finished in yellow, red and white . The photographs show the actual body and paint scheme supplied with this car.

Underneath is the proven JK Cheetah JKC21 stainless-steel anglewinder chassis , powered by a Falcon 7 motor and fitted with wide foam rear tires. There are no traction magnets—the car relies on lightweight construction, mechanical grip and driver skill.

Lightweight Front End

The front end is kept as light and low-drag as practical for this style of competition car. Please refer to the photographs for the exact front-wheel configuration supplied with this individual Mazda Dyson body.

True Analog Performance

The JK Cheetah is a very different car from a conventional magnet-equipped home-set slot car. Its lightweight steel chassis, Falcon 7 motor and foam tires provide substantially higher performance while allowing the car to move and drift progressively as it approaches the limit.

There is no traction magnet holding the chassis to the rails. Cornering performance comes from tire grip, chassis balance and driving technique.

Track Compatibility

This car is designed for true analog racing and is particularly well suited to:

• Routed commercial wood raceways
• Carrera Evolution and other suitable analog Carrera layouts
• OmniSlotBox systems operating in true analog mode

The full-size commercial racing guide is deeper than the guides normally used on home-set cars. On some Carrera layouts, slight trimming of the guide blade may be required to prevent it from bottoming in the slot.

Standard Scalextric track is generally too shallow for this guide without modification.

Power Requirements

The Falcon 7 performs best with a regulated power supply capable of providing adequate current. For serious analog racing, we recommend approximately 3 amps or more available per lane . Standard home-set power supplies may not provide the same performance under load.

Race Ready & Serviceable

• Fully assembled and prepared for racing
• Replaceable motor, gears, axles, wheels, tires, guide and braid
• Conventional racing components simplify maintenance and repair
• Replacement lightweight bodies may be available separately
• Prepared to comply with the JK Cheetah class rules used by our CARS Club

Jim's Racer Perspective

We have raced JK Cheetah anglewinders extensively. On our 60-foot Grand Prix Carrera layout, properly prepared Cheetah anglewinders have run more than a second per lap faster than the standard Carrera cars we use for comparison.

What I particularly like about the anglewinder is the way it drives. Without a traction magnet, the car begins to drift progressively as it approaches the limit. I find that makes it predictable and rewarding to drive, and in our racing we have generally seen fewer abrupt crashes than with cars that rely heavily on magnetic downforce.

The Falcon 7 provides good torque and braking, while the lightweight chassis and wide foam tires make the car very quick without making it complicated to maintain.

On our Carrera track, we use a light application of suitable traction treatment such as Track Honey to produce consistent foam-tire grip.

Please review the photographs carefully. The Mazda Dyson body and yellow, red and white paint scheme shown are the ones supplied with this individual car.
