» Hi Bentley,

»
» Yes and no. The advantage of Servo plus curves is that the inner lane is
» almost as fast as the outer lane. However, drifting with older cars (V1)
» is not possible with Servo plus curves. And that is half of the fun, in my
» (and many others) opinion.
»
» I myself use the plus curves in the faster sections of my track, normal
» 140 curves in the slower sections.
»
» Please keep in mind that the longer cars (Trucks, Porsche 956, Ford C100)
» won't fit through Servo plus curve 1. Curve 2 is no problem.

» Well, tracks for Servo 140/plus are a bit expensive at Heisse Reifen. But
» it's your best source for replacement parts, that's for sure. As for cars

»
» I understand it's a bit of a hassle to get Servo parts in Canada, but I'm

» How did you get Carrera Servo in Canada, anyway? I'm curious.

Hi oerk
Thank you for the info on the Servo Plus curves, I will have to invest in some to try them out.
I got into the Carrera servo over a long period. At one time they were sold in Canada. I believe it was in the 80's. I had seen a set in a store window when I was on Holiday with my Wife in Vancouver. It was a Sunday and the store was closed or I would of probably bought the set. That was in 1993.
I started to collect regular slots in 95 when I got hooked to the internet. When I found the Servo cars on ebay. I started buying them. I have got all my 140 sets in canada. The 160 and the 132 came out of Germany as well as the majority of the cars.
I unfortunatly don't have any of my sets set up right now, we have moved into a new house about 5 years ago and I have not finished the basement yet.Hopefully that will be done this winter.
Thank you for the info
Bentley
