Thanks for the video. You have seen my track, but I don't have any videos. Are the cars 1/32 or 1/24?
I started with about 6 or 8 Scalextric cars. I still have the Mustang. I think slot car racing is much more popular in the UK than the US. I just received a car from a guy in the UK for a proxy race I'm hosting.Not on the same level as the above, but me and my brother were really into Scalextric in the early 80’s, and then stupidly sold the multiple sets and parts that we had (probably when we hit our teens).
Fast forward a few years (1996) and I got bought a the Escort Cosworth set which I still have today (generic photo) :
Well our youngest (8) had been asking me to dig it out and as the weather was bad, we’ve spent the afternoon playing …
That got me searching for info on my old favourites, and I found this which has three different of them on the same page (I had all three red ones) :
That tempted me to browse eBay, and I’ve just snagged this :
Interestingly, the same seller has this …

Damn, it looks real!I recently got involved with 1/14 scale tractor trailers. Wanted something to play with during the winter and evenings when I don't want to. wander down to the garage. I haven't played with R/C in decades. This is the first one...full electronics, lights, sound....
Pretty cool!!I recently got involved with 1/14 scale tractor trailers. Wanted something to play with during the winter and evenings when I don't want to. wander down to the garage. I haven't played with R/C in decades. This is the first one...full electronics, lights, sound....
It's a Tamiya Globe Liner kit, and Tamiya aluminum box trailer. The truck has a Beier SFR1 module that controls speed, lights and sound. The trailer has an IR module that reads through a TX in the fifth wheel to operate electric legs, lights, etc. The SFR1 is incredibly advanced.
That’s another step closer to recreating my favourite red car …Well, tonight I have :
- Burnt out the pinion on my white cosworth
- Put new braids on the yellow cosworth
- Started to refurbish the wheels from both cosworth’s
- Bought this for its mint bumpers and chassis, so I can start to recreate my red car
What madness is this, and is it acceptable to blame it on you guys and this thread …

I'm a big fan of mini class cars, but good ones are hard to find. I think Ninco or Fly used to make a Mini Cooper, but I haven't seen one in about two years. I have the body of a Renault R5, but the chassis is crap. I also have a couple ScaleAuto MG Metros that are a lot of fun, but seriously over powered (long can, angle-winder). I have tried to find the SCX Fiat Abarth 600, but the only ones I have found are very expensive. I do have an NCR Abarth, though.That’s another step closer to recreating my favourite red car …

Well these aren’t the quickest of cars, but they are a lot of fun
The value of Norlin ear Gibsons is on the rise. Even the case is in great condition.I used some of my college financial aide to buy this Les Paul Deluxe new in 1975. Haven’t played in years but looking to start up again soon.
