The Chevrolet Dekon Monza is a relatively old model in the lineup; it was first released in 2008 in two analog versions and, since 2015, has been available in additional designs as both analog and digital models.
This version, in a bold dark red metallic finish with the number 27, is a fantasy design, but it resembles the real-life car that was sponsored by a well-known American beer producer with the numbers 19 and 20.
The metallic paint has a deep sheen, looks a bit flashy, and therefore suits a model whose real-life counterpart dates back to the 1970s.
Technically, the model is still based on the older generation of chassis;d.h . the magnets are accessible without having to unscrew the body. The box’s spare parts compartment includes additional spacer plates that allow you to adjust the distance between the adhesive magnets and the track surface as desired. The magnets can also be removed easily. Furthermore, the model features front and rear lights.
Weighing 104 grams, the model is not exactly lightweight and therefore doesn’t promise record lap times on the track. However, the relatively thick tires provide good shock absorption and, combined with the weight, ensure solid road holding. As always, driving without the rear magnet improves controllability at the limits, although lap times are slightly slower overall. Overall, it’s difficult to find a rival car that’s a good match not only visually but also in terms of driving dynamics. Naturally, the other design variants of the Dekon Monza are the best fit—all of which are geared more toward enthusiasts of non-mainstream race cars.
