Details
Schuco Micro racers in the approximate scale of 1:40 were available from 1954 and soon became the latest craze in the world of wind-up racing cars.
Their unsurpassed features such as heavy die-cast bodies, extremely fast and long-running spring-drive mechanisms, micro-adjustment wheel control for precise direction runs, free-wheel facility for test purposes even with wound-up motor and last, but not least - the tremendous speed they attained, made them longtime favorites in many countries and at many playgrounds.
Starting in 1954, Schuco issued a new model just about every year. In 1967 the bodies were no longer made of diecast metal but of plastic and the production was stopped altogether in 1969.
