The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI from the OMV team that competed in the 2000 Monte Carlo Rally arrives in 1/32 scale with everything needed to hit the track: R2.0 In-Flex chassis, SC-0027 motor with 18,000 rpm, hardened steel axles, and RT compound tyres. A R-Version from Scaleauto ready for club competition from the very start.
An icon of Group N rallying reproduced by Scaleauto with competitive intent
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI is one of the most beloved cars within the Classic Rally category. Its track record in the World Rally Championship and, above all, its reputation in the Group N class made it the car to beat in the late nineties and early 2000s. The reference SC-6370R from Scaleauto reproduces the unit driven by Manfred Stohl and his co-driver Peter Müller in the 2000 Monte Carlo Rally, featuring the unmistakable decoration of the OMV team and the number #21. A piece that combines historical value and on-track performance in one package.
Features and highlights
As an R-Version AW, Scaleauto delivers it fully prepared for competition. It is not a display car: it is designed for the enthusiast who wants results at the club without spending hours in the workshop. The components that make it up are the same as you would find when assembling a competition chassis from parts:
- R2.0 In-Flex chassis (soft version, grey): allows controlled torsion that helps the car follow the track in fast corners and uneven surfaces, improving rear traction.
- SC-0027 motor at 18,000 rpm: a balanced block that provides enough torque for any rally layout without sacrificing handling.
- Anglewinder transmission: 8/31d gear ratio on RT3 support with -0.5 mm offset (SC-6536C), which lowers the centre of gravity compared to a conventional sidewinder configuration and improves stability in corners.
- Hardened steel axles 2.38 mm: vibration-free rotation, greater durability, and precision in force transmission to the ground.
- Wheels and tyres: front plastic wheels and rear aluminium wheels, combined with RT compound tyres for grip and consistency in racing.
- Advanced guide with screw (SC-1608B): more advanced position for firmer track following, especially in sharp braking and elevation changes.
Scale and level of detail
The body faithfully reproduces the proportions of the Evo VI in 1/32 scale, with tampographies that replicate the OMV team decoration as it appeared in the Monte Carlo specials. The combination of plastic wheels on the front axle and aluminium on the rear is not just a mechanical decision: it also refines the visual presence of the set, as the machined aluminium wheels provide a more polished finish.
On-track behaviour
The In-Flex chassis in its soft version favours the absorption of imperfections on tracks with years of use, where joints and small level differences are common. The anglewinder with negative offset keeps the motor battery low and slightly displaced, resulting in a more balanced mass distribution and less tendency to spin in fast chicanes. The RT tyres perform well on both Sport-type plastic tracks and long training sessions.
Ideal for…
- Slot enthusiasts competing in classic rally categories at clubs.
- Collectors looking for a piece with real history behind the decoration.
- Those who want an R-Version ready to run without additional preparation.
- Drivers starting in competition who prefer a factory-optimised car.
Aspects to consider
As an R-Version, the car already incorporates Scaleauto's competition adjustments. If you use it on club tracks with specific motor or transmission regulations, it is advisable to check that the 8/31d gear ratio and SC-0027 motor comply with your championship rules before registering. The braids come factory-installed and ready to function; however, it is recommended to perform a visual inspection of the contact before the first session.
Frequently asked questions
What track systems is this car compatible with?
The SC-1608B guide is of the Sport type, compatible with Scaleauto and Slot.it tracks. If your club uses Universal track (Scalextric, Ninco), you will need to change the guide for one compatible with that standard.
Is the SC-0027 motor at 18,000 rpm valid for Group N categories in clubs?
It depends on the specific regulations of your club or championship. Many classic rally categories in slot racing accept motors in that rpm range, but we recommend verifying it before competing, as regulations vary by organisation.
What does "R-Version" mean exactly in Scaleauto?
Scaleauto's R-Versions are units that come from the factory with a set of competition components already assembled: In-Flex chassis, higher performance motor, hardened steel axles, aluminium wheels, and competition guide. In other words, there is no need to disassemble the car to prepare it; it is already ready to run at club competition level.
Are the RT tyres soft or hard rubber?
The RT compound from Scaleauto is geared towards competition, with a medium hardness that offers good grip on plastic tracks without excessive wear during long sessions. It is not the softest compound in the catalogue, but it is one of the most balanced for regular club use.
Is it possible to change the chassis for a stiffer version?
Yes. Scaleauto's R2.0 In-Flex chassis system is available in different hardnesses. If your track is very smooth and uniform, you might opt for the stiffer version to gain precision in steering response. For tracks with more irregularities, the soft version (grey) that comes as standard is usually the most versatile option.
Does it come with spare parts or additional pieces in the box?
Scaleauto does not specify the inclusion of additional spare parts in the standard R-Version. If you need braids, guides, or replacement tyres, you can find them in the Scaleauto spare parts catalogue available in stores.
The Scaleauto SC-6370R brings the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI OMV livery from the 2000 Monte Carlo Rally to 1/32 scale slot car racing. This R-Version features the In-Flex R2.0 soft chassis, SC-0027 18,000 rpm motor, anglewinder transmission with 8/31 gear ratio, hardened steel axles and RT compound tyres — all competition-ready straight from the box. A must-have for rally classic slot collectors and club racers looking for a detailed, high-performance Scaleauto model.
