Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 Dragon Snake vs Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 Snake Eyes

These are the same Scalextric car: the Shelby Cobra 289 CSX2201 "Snake Eyes" from the 2021 Goodwood Revival, catalog number C4417. Both are 1:32 analog slot cars with Magnatraction, working head and tail lights, an easy-change guide blade and a diecast/plastic body. The only real difference is the listing: A bundles an extra pair of shoes and spells out ARC compatibility and the C7005 digital chip requirement. Buy whichever listing gives you the extras you want; the car on the track is identical.

  • Choose the Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 Dragon Snake Goodwood 2021 if you want the spare pair of tires in the box and the ARC AIR, ARC ONE and digital chip details spelled out.
  • Choose the Scalextric Shelby Cobra 289 CSX2201 Snake Eyes if you just want the standard analog car and don't need the extra shoes.

Questions and answers

Are these two the same car?
Yes. Both are Scalextric C4417, the 1:32 Shelby Cobra 289 CSX2201 "Snake Eyes" as raced at the 2021 Goodwood Revival. The body, lights, Magnatraction and guide blade are the same.
Which is better for digital racing?
A. It is listed as ARC AIR and ARC ONE compatible and names the C7005 digital plug for ARC PRO. B is described as analog only, so you would need to add a chip yourself.
Which is better for a child?
Neither is aimed at children. Both are adult collector models with high detail and small parts. For a young driver, a basic set car is the safer pick.
Will they run on my Carrera track?
Yes. Both list Carrera compatibility, and both work on most 1:32 analog track such as Ninco and SCX.
Is it worth stepping up to A?
Only for the spare shoes and the clearer ARC and digital guidance. If you race analog on a home track, B does the same job.
