Strombecker was 1/32 scale. I did build a 1/24 car, but never attached the Cobra body to it. I also found it ran faster without front wheels, letting the tab drop deeper into the slot, so it was stable in the corners. I put oversized slicks on the back so it looked like a AA dragster. Nothing could touch it and it was big enough that it knocked other cars off the track in the turns.Were those HO, or 1/32 or 1/24? I was thinking it was the bigger ones that had the braided contacts.
