    Re: Anyone here have slot cars?

    I used to race slot cars. Nothing fancy, but if you look for winged box 15 slot car videos it's what they are. I tried to add a picture but it's too big, I will edit it down tonight and get it then

    Re: Anyone here have slot cars?

    DK, you brought back some fond memories.
    I started with a small track at home with two lanes
    and it was so much fun racing my friends.

    Later, I got into larger cars 1/32nd scale, which you
    would take to a commercial track with about 6-8 lanes,
    can’t remember now. You would bring your car and
    a controller and rent time on the track.

    We would change the motors or modify the windings
    on the armature, anything to make the motor faster.
    We would also drill the frame and add bearings
    for the axles for less friction. To make the tires
    sticker, we would use dry cleaning fluid to clean
    the rubber which would give you better traction.
    DK, thanks for the memories. You and your husband
    will have hours of fun. After a little time with the car
    and controller you will stay on the track more.

    racing videos

    I'm hoping he sets it up in our basement and plays with it.
    Just something fun he probably wouldn't have bothered buying for himself

    Re: Anyone here have slot cars?

    I never had slot cars.. but when I was a kid, my older brother passed me down a very cool race track with electric race cars. I also had the hot-wheels setup, you know plastic orange track thingy...

    I still have some matchboxes, newer in packaging on my knick-knack shelf... Ya know the usual, 68 Charger, a few Mustangs and of course a Ferrari F-40. I do have an old Matchbox Wildcat Mustang in the original box. Had that since I was a kid.


    I had an enormous matchbox collection when I was a kid. Whenever my dad had to go to the store, I'd do a ride-along, and he'd let me poke around in the toy isle. After a while he'd come and find me and say "alright, which one are we taking home today..." He never said no... I wish I had them all today...

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane Monica!

    Doing a paint correction on those must be quite challenging, even with a 1" machine

    Why does she need to have a boy? My 4yo daughter loves car stuff (and dinosaurs, and building stuff, and...)
