I likes the Batman and Robin, and the batmobile clássic, good work 👍😀

[@AidansRailways]

Thank you

Got my Scalextric Batmobile recently. I need to buy some track to run it on now. I used to watch Batman in the 60s. I had the Corgi Batmobile back in ‘66 and a Batman outfit. All us kids wanted to be Batman never Robin!

[@AidansRailways]

Hi Andy, I really loved watching this show as a child. We've had this a little while as it was on pre order but we had put off doing a video. However we have decided to do a series of "Star Cars" from scalextric. I still think they should have had the Boy Wonder in the passenger seat haha

[@Andy1962-in-Kinross]

@@AidansRailways Yeah, I agree Robin should have been in the Batmobile too! Still I guess they could have just made the Batmobile without any figures so at least we get Batman. Always look forward to seeing your videos and featuring some Scalextric star vehicles is fine by me. Bond, Only Fools & Horses etc. look great. Not sure I can afford to get into Scalextric again though as I already spend too much on my model trains! 😂

[@AidansRailways]

It was just before Covid I bought young Aidan a scalextric. During lockdown we got it out after getting the Back to the future DeLorean. Katie, Aidan and myself had huge amounts of fun with it so since then I suggested we just get vehicles that are stars ⭐️. I know what you mean. They are both expensive hobbies 😆

[@AidansRailways]

I’m sure someone will soon have a 3D printed Robin on shapeways soon

@@AidansRailways Hi Howdy from The State's BIG FRANKIE C-EEE YA!!! Here:... I've posted a comment about getting a "Robin Figure" for your ScaleXtric 1966 George Barris Batmobile. Please have a look at my Video's showcasing my custom built 1/32nd GB66 Mark-IV Batmobile W/All LED-Lighting that I build from the polar lights kit model, I also sell ones I've built on eBay from time to time and have been for the past 10-years in scales from the 1/32nd to 1/24 & 25th scale. Cheers!:...

Nice update .Like it very much.

[@AidansRailways]

Thank you Dave, 👍.

[@thomasmcelroy3637]

hi aidan. i remember batman when i was a lad. fell in love with the car. i still have the one from then. very tatty now well played with over the years. this new one stunning. i am going to get one or two. thanks as ever take care tom.

[@AidansRailways]

Hi Thomas 👋. I used to love the show as a child. I don’t think you will be disappointed, I know I’m not. Before doing this video I had to watch a few episodes and even now it’s still a great watch. I don’t think I ever had a original batmobile when I was younger. Cheers 👍

[@thomasmcelroy3637]

@@AidansRailways i got one for my birthday along with the 007 db5.liked the batmobile better.

[@timothyortiz2222]

Robin was playing Bat Girl at the time of this filming. Making Wee Bats.

[@freestretchstretchtents8438]

Im going to get it and i'm going to ruin it. I hope its fast. If its light it deserves to be. Happy Robins not in it to keep the weight down. Im normally driving the Porsche 962's no lights - fast and stable which i hope and expect this one will be as well. Thanks Aidan!

[@Madonsteamrailways]

This one was the only jet car actually made. The three barrels just in front of the boot lid were actually missile launchers. I have the Corgi model.

[@AidansRailways]

Hi👋. Great 👍. That’s right, of course. It’s been so long since watching all of them. That vehicle was absolutely loaded with gadgets

[@Madonsteamrailways]

@@AidansRailways It most certainly was!! Have a laugh at my memories!! The front of the Batmobile had a drop down knife or saw!!

[@davidstrains4910]

Great looking item there Aidan

[@AidansRailways]

Hi David, Thank you . It is very nice and although very nice running on the track i think this will probably spend more time on display haha. Cheers

[@anthonyshipman3611]

Thanks for showing this. That gloss and red pinstriping looks brilliant! Do you have any other batmobiles? 1989 one is my favourite. Me and a mate always pick up hotwheels batmobiles when we see them. All the best Anthony.

[@AidansRailways]

Hi Anthony, It really is glossy. I had to keep wiping it during the filming as it shows every fingerprint. I would reall like the 1989 Batmobile for Scalextric. I did use to have some hot wheels one when i was younger. I really like the shape of the 1989 version. I was lucky enough to see both a 1966 and 1989 Batmobile at the now closed Cars Of The Stars Museum at Keswick Cumbria some years ago now.

[@anthonyshipman3611]

@@AidansRailways I saw a copy of the 60s one at a random car show in Bexhill and I saw a 1989 one at the classic car show at the Excel London a couple of years ago. the kids I look after play with the hotwheels ones, my favourites are on a shelf. All the best Anthony.

[@AidansRailways]

I remember seeing the 1966 version in Cumbria and being shocked just how big it was. There’s nothing quite like coming face to face with such an iconic vehicle though. 👍

[@Madonsteamrailways]

What a gorgeous model!! I bet it doesn’t actually run on jet fuel!!

[@AidansRailways]

Hahaha It's stunning. Definitely brings back childhood memories

[@gpw6287]

Massive oversight not including Robin!

[@tinkerbruzer]

Hi Howdy! too any-one looking for "Robin" from the USA!: Thanks for the over view of the 1966 1/32nd Batmobile Slot Car: I've been building custom made 1/32nd Batmobile's for better than 10-years now from the polar-lights model kit and have video's of my builds posted -in- Hand Painted Detail. I can help you out with getting a scale model "Robin" in to the cockpit of your factory-made from China. I have quit a few model kit -Robin's- here at the shop and can help you out by flying him across the pond to sit shot-gun in your scalextric version of the Batmobile. BIG FRANKIE C-EEE YA!!!!:

[@paulhobson7861]

Not Exhausts! Missile Launchers! otherwise nice review and yes shame no Robin!

[@AidansRailways]

Hi Paul Yeah this was picked up on earlier. Tbh it has been a long time since I got to watch them although I did watch one the other day which had me laughing as Batman just couldn’t catch a break trying to save Gotham. Cheers 👍

[@paulhobson7861]

@@AidansRailways Hi Aiden, GR8 review though perhaps an edit as expect more peeps will jump on exhaust issue? I recently built the polar lights Batmobile as had to have an my scalextric one on way - Can't wait like a kid at xmas LOL! Totally agree Adam West will allways be The True BATMAN! Cheers Paul

[@masudashizue777]

Leaving Robin out must be a cost-cutting measure, but I wish they would make him available separately. Also, the red stripe is next to the batfins instead of right on the crest of the fins. That's a bit odd, but otherwise they did an admirable job.

[@AidansRailways]

We definitely need robin for this slot car. Cheers

[@kevinnelson66]

From what I've seen, the General Lee has both of the Duke boys. They could have put Robin in the batmobile.

That's a retractable antenna.
