Holy Toledo , I can't believe it. Slot cars are making a comeback. I remember the days of old, when I was a kid. I made my slot cars out of piano wire and brass. Bent the wire , cut the brass, soldered it all together. Rewound the armature, and replaced the magnets with Arco Magnets . Away my car went screaming around the track. My car was fast and hugged the track. I was sort of a geek for that back then. I was around 9 or 10. I remember The Groove ( Hot Dogs ) , Thom Thumb, Pit Stop, and a few more that the names I can not recall. I still after all these years (59) have my slot car case and most of the parts. I still have boxes of trophies I won in races.
Well here is a business that is just opening up soon with a track. Next time I come to Toledo I will bring my case , MXR controllers and cars. See what I have to do to tweak out my 1/24th and 1/32nd scale cars to make the lap. I will give a later update on this when I come back. read more
