Formula 90-97 MP4/10 1995 n7 Blundell - High Nose

The Formula 90-97 series from Scaleauto reaches its peak with this 1995 McLaren MP4/10, the single-seater driven by Mark Blundell in Formula 1, reproduced at 1/32 scale with all the detail and mechanics required for serious competition.

A 90s F1 in your hands

The 1995 Formula 1 season was marked by rivalry among the major teams and cars with unmistakable aesthetics. The McLaren MP4/10, with its characteristic livery, is one of the most recognisable single-seaters of that era. Scaleauto captures it in this model with the number #7 of Mark Blundell, the British driver who raced that season with the Woking team. The High Nose version refers to the aerodynamic configuration with a raised nose that McLaren adopted during part of that championship.

This is a specification of the Formula 90-97 series, one of the most valued lines by slot racing enthusiasts seeking both historical fidelity and pure performance on the track.

Body and chassis: engineering at the service of speed

The body of this model measures just 0.65 mm thick, making it one of the lightest in the category. Less weight on the body means a lower centre of gravity and a more direct response in corners. The chassis incorporates reinforcement ribs that provide stiffness without adding unnecessary mass, and is designed to accommodate a fully customisable configuration: optional suspension system with 6 positions for the motor mount and height adjustment on both the front and rear axles.

Technical specifications

• Motor: SC-0025C high torque with magnetic effect, 21,500 rpm.
• Transmission: 10-tooth nylon pinion (SC-1010) and 26-tooth crown gear in line with lightweight Ergal centring (SC-1112R).
• Motor mount: New inline mount with an offset of -0.5 mm (SC-6523C) — motor perpendicular to the rear axle to lower the centre of gravity.
• Axles: Hardened steel 2.38 mm x 55 mm (SC-1211).
• Wheels: Lightweight aluminium with M2.5 screws; front 14.0 x 10 mm and rear 14.0 x 13 mm.
• Front tyres: Grip Zero 18.0 x 10.0 mm.
• Rear tyres: AS-25 Supergrip 20.0 x 13.0 mm.
• Guide: SC-1608 with advanced suspension system.
• Scale: 1/32.
• Reference: SC-6342.

Track behaviour

The inline configuration of the motor mount positions the motor in line with the rear axle, reducing the height of the centre of mass and improving stability in fast corners. Combined with the AS-25 Supergrip rear tyres, the car offers consistent traction without losing the adjustability required for club racing. The SC-0025C motor with magnetic effect provides notable output torque, ideal for circuits with many chicanes or slow corners where acceleration response makes a difference.

The lightweight aluminium wheels help reduce unsprung mass, resulting in more predictable behaviour and less gyroscopic inertia during direction changes.

Ready To Run: ready from the first moment

The SC-6342 is delivered fully finished and equipped. No prior assembly is required: simply place it on the Sport track and start racing. This makes it accessible for competitors wanting a reference car without prior work, as well as for collectors who appreciate a factory-finished model with top-quality components.

For those wanting to go further, the chassis architecture allows for the replacement or adjustment of virtually any component with parts from the Scaleauto catalogue, facilitating progressive tuning according to the level of competition.

Ideal for…

• Club competitors looking for a 90s slot F1 ready to race with performance guarantees.
• Collectors interested in mid-90s Formula 1 and McLaren's history.
• Enthusiasts wanting to start tuning slot cars from a solid and well-documented mechanical base.

Points to consider

This model is designed for Sport track (compatible with Scaleauto and Slot.it tracks). Check compatibility with your setup before purchasing if you use a different system. The SC-1608 guide is interchangeable with other references from the Scaleauto catalogue if you need to adapt it to the specific conditions of your circuit.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with Scalextric or Ninco circuits?

This model incorporates the SC-1608 guide designed for Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). To use it on universal track (Scalextric, Ninco), you would need to replace the guide with one compatible with that type of track.

What does "High Nose" mean in the model name?

It refers to the aerodynamic configuration with a raised nose that McLaren used on the MP4/10 during part of the 1995 season. Scaleauto reproduces this specific variant of the car as it appeared on track that year.

Does it come assembled or does it need to be put together?

The SC-6342 is a Ready To Run (RTR) model: it arrives fully assembled, finished, and ready to race. No prior assembly is required.

Can I customise or modify the components?

Yes. The chassis is designed to accommodate adjustments and replacements with parts from the Scaleauto catalogue: motor mount, guide, wheels, tyres, and axles are easily interchangeable to adapt the car to different racing conditions.

What type of motorisation does this model have?

The SC-0025C motor is mounted in an inline configuration, that is, perpendicular to the rear axle and in line with it. This arrangement lowers the car's centre of gravity and favours stability in corners compared to other configurations.

Is it suitable for club racing or just for recreational use?

It is specifically designed for competition. Its components —21,500 rpm motor, Supergrip tyres, lightweight aluminium wheels, and adjustable chassis— meet the demands of organised racing, although it can also be enjoyed in a recreational context.
