Skoda Fabia Rally2 Rally Ourense 2024 n1 J.A. Suarez R Version

The replica that smells of Galician asphalt: the Fabia Rally2 of Cohete at the 2024 Ourense Rally

Scaleauto launches under the reference SC-6445R this R-Version edition of the Skoda Fabia Rally2 that José Antonio "Cohete" Suárez drove at the 2024 Ourense Rally, one of the most demanding events in the S-CER (Super Championship of Spain Rallyes). The model arrives ready to compete, with a carefully selected mechanics to bring the character of the real prototype to the track.

Features and highlights

• Body: official decoration of race number #1 of the Recalvi team, reproducing the livery with which J.A. Suárez and his co-driver Alberto Iglesias Pin faced the 2024 Ourense Rally.
• Chassis: soft R2.0 in grey with in-flex technology, allowing controlled torsion of the assembly to absorb track irregularities and improve cornering without sacrificing precision.
• Motor: SC-0027 at 18,000 rpm, mounted on RT3 support with a –0.5 mm offset that lowers the centre of gravity and improves rear stability.
• Transmission: 8/31 gear ratio on 2.38 mm hardened steel axles, ensuring smooth and constant power delivery.
• Specification: R-Version, competition-oriented from the outset.

Track behaviour

The in-flex chassis is the key to the temperament of this Fabia slot. The technology developed by Scaleauto allows the chassis to work as a living element: it absorbs the imperfections of the layout and keeps all four wheels in contact with the track during elevation changes and fast corners. The negative offset of the RT3 support positions the motor closer to the ground, resulting in a more planted and predictable rear behaviour, especially in medium and long radius corners.

The 8/31 gear ratio offers a balance between exit acceleration and top speed, suitable for both tight home circuits and more open club layouts. The 2.38 mm hardened steel axles add rigidity to the assembly without penalising the total weight.

Scale and level of detail

Scaleauto works at a scale of 1:32, the majority standard in the world of competitive slot racing. The decoration of the SC-6445R faithfully reproduces the colours, sponsors, and race number of the real car, with high-resolution printing finishes. It is compatible with Sport track, Scaleauto's own system, as well as with other systems like Scalextric or Ninco that use the same track width.

Ideal for…

• Club competitors looking for a modern rally car ready to race without additional preparation.
• S-CER collectors and followers of J.A. "Cohete" Suárez wanting a faithful replica of the 2024 season.
• Slot enthusiasts wishing to start in the Rally2 category with a model of balanced behaviour and proven mechanics.

Aspects to consider

As this is an R-Version specification, this model incorporates competition components from the factory. If your home track is very technical or has tight radii, you may need to adjust the braid pressure or check the guide to optimise contact. Scaleauto offers a wide catalogue of spare parts that facilitates the maintenance and customisation of the car over time.

Frequently asked questions

Is this car compatible with my Scalextric track?

Yes. Although Scaleauto uses Sport track as its own system, the guide of the SC-6445R is compatible with Scalextric and Ninco tracks. If your track is Sport track (Scaleauto, Slot.it), the fit is direct. On Scalextric tracks, it is advisable to check the guide clearance to ensure optimal contact.

What does the R-Version specification mean?

The R-Version from Scaleauto designates factory-prepared models for competition, with selected mechanical components (motor, chassis, transmission, and axles) that go beyond the standard equipment. They are designed to race at club level without the need for additional preparation.

What is the in-flex technology of the chassis?

The in-flex chassis from Scaleauto incorporates a controlled flex zone that allows the assembly to twist slightly when taking corners or passing over irregularities. This keeps all four wheels in contact with the track in more situations, improving traction and cornering without compromising the structural rigidity of the car.

What advantage does the –0.5 mm offset of the RT3 support provide?

The negative offset moves the motor down relative to the rear axle, lowering the car's centre of gravity. The result is a more stable and predictable rear behaviour, with less tendency to oversteer in fast corners.

Can I use this car in modern rally leagues?

Absolutely. The Skoda Fabia Rally2 is one of the most used prototypes in modern rally slot championships. Check your local championship regulations to verify that the R-Version specification and the 8/31 gear ratio fit the category you want to compete in.

Are spare parts easily obtainable?

Yes. Scaleauto has a well-stocked spare parts catalogue: motors, chassis, axles, crowns, pinions, and braids are usually available. At Ministry of Hobby, you will find the most demanded components to keep this model in perfect racing condition.
