Thank you!

Thank you! I figure most people know what to do, but if this video saves the life of one slot car, it was worth it, lol!

Thank you, and thank you for this additional advice! I worked in the postal service for many years and have seen some horror!

@All-ScaleSlotCars I'm a Different dude not Nico

​@thedude4321 Oh, I apologize!! I've had my coffee, and hopefully I'll be more alert from now on!

@felicegu Hello! Hope all is well with you and your family. They are all Micro Scalextric bodies and chassis, except for the 4 wearing helmets, which are Life-Like. It may be possible to fit Xtraction chassis on them, but you'd probably need a clip or some sort of ingenuity. I actually now have 4 variable power supplies, one for each lane, using a dual AFX terminal on each end of the track. I wouldn't recommend the skateboarders for very young children, as they are top heavy. Are your grandkids still enjoying the hobby? If so, what kinds of cars do they like the most?

@felicegu I should mention I needed to go with separate variable power supplies (and wired controller driver’s stations) for each lane because my grandkids would complain if their car was running too slow to keep up with their brother's car. So they each have their own juice to tweak and it's on them to drive without crashing. They're still learning but getting the hang of it. No more wireless controllers but that's fine, since they sit on their stools while I run around picking up de-slotted cars. Lol.

@@All-ScaleSlotCars okay so you have 4 variable power supplies since there are 4 lanes? That's not a bad idea. I still use the stock control piece & wireless speed controllers. Lane 1 is the fastest. Lane 2 & 3 are slower & very similar in speed. Lane 4 is almost as fast as lane 1 but difficult since there are 2 hair pins.

Did you wire the controller stations, with after market speed controller like Professor Motor & mount the metal holder? I did that for me 1:43 track & it works well.

@@All-ScaleSlotCars The 5 yr old is a girl & she likes only 2 cars because they are pink. One is 1:43 analog slot car by Joysway pink 55. The other is a Litehawk that I painted all pink for her. Two of my grandsons are 3 yrs old. They like everything, 1:64, 1:43. The youngest grandson is 18 months & he likes grabbing the slot car as they go by & he grabs them, admires them & then puts them back.

@@IrrerasCarrera Thank you! I really appreciate your comment!

Thank you! A top-heavy challenge, to say the least, Lol!

No, unfortunately, these are the only three Wacky Races slot cars.

Thank you! If you pinned me down, I'd probably tell you this is my all-time favorite car!

Thank you so much!!

@terrencelacy9432 Thank you so much! I'm planning to do episodes on the different slotless racing systems. I'll just need some time to sort everything out. In the meantime, I can try to help you with what you're looking for. Do you know what brand of car or track you currently have or have in mind?

Hi, welcome to the world of slot cars! If you're talking about Carrera track, 1:32 and 1:24 track pieces are one and the same (border pieces can always be added on to accommodate larger cars sliding out around the curves). Virtually any slot car will run on it. Keep in mind that track from different manufacturers will not interchange without some sort of adapter track piece. Also, an important question is if you like analog or digital slot cars? I can walk you through that if you need.

@@All-ScaleSlotCars oh thanks so much for your reply, that makes sense, I’ll definitely keep watching your channel!

​@kylieloc7840 Thank you very much! It's really very simple once you get past the initial distinctions. Thank you for watching, and always feel free to ask questions!

Thank you so much, Pat! It's not a very big area for a track but I'm very thankful for what I do have!

@OKSlotCarTesting it's great that we're finally getting more slot car choices from the Japanese market.

Thank you very much. It's great to get positive feedback like I really appreciate it! You are doing awesome things on your channel as well, and I'm looking forward to seeing your new addition to the drag strip in action!

It really is! (Especially this one, Lol!!)

Excellent!! Thank you for your comment, that says it all!

Thank you!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! However, I'm far, far, far from the King- probably more like the Court Jester, Lol!!!

It really is a nice looking car! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for your comments!

@robertsale6528 I'm sorry to hear that! Has HO still not caught on there? That's really a shame, hopefully things will start changing.

The great thing is they run pretty decently too (and even better after a tire replacement after all these years, Lol!). The version that Scalextric made in a larger scale are a pain to keep on the track at any speed. Tyco did fantastic work with these. Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and subscribing. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to checking it out!

@@All-ScaleSlotCars thank you, much appreciated..

Thank you so much! Yeah, it's great that there's basically a Batmobile available for whichever version you're into!

Tyco did a real nice job creating their bikes!

They must look awesome on the drag strip! Thank you, Nico!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!

Thank you!! I'm happy you are enjoying this!

Haha! Yes, but great music will always stay with us!

Yes, very 'cool! Lol!

Thank you for watching and commenting! Yeah, I love it, one of my favorites! I feel bad since I only pay him half his salary: he doesn't need to clean, he just has to circle the track, Lol!

They shouldn't be slow at all. Have you checked if the body is sitting correctly on the chassis, and also if the tires are rubbing against the body as they turn? I had this issue on one of them, and needed to change the tires to a smaller size. I think it was on the front tires on the Mustang, if I remember correctly. If the tires are fine and can all turn freely, have you oiled the chassis? If doing all this does not solve the problem, and you purchased these new recently, maybe you can contact the place you purchased and see what they can do for you, possibly sending you replacement chassis. Also, if you are running different types of cars, have you looked into getting electronic controllers where you can adjust the resistance? That should make a huge difference in enjoying the different brands of cars. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me in knowing this is appreciated!

You cannot go wrong with a Batmobile, Lol! Thank you for watching and commenting!

It's great we have these options! I'm looking forward to seeing your review on them!

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

That is awesome! Who knows, we are probably cousins! Explains why we have slot cars in our blood, Lol!

@@All-ScaleSlotCars How much weight did you gain? Man everything tastes fantastic there.

@@felicegu We walked quite a lot, everywhere, every day (including up Mount Etna), so that offset the eating, Lol!

Oh that's sad, but was such a common thing to do with "toys" back then! Now you're on a mission, have fun finding the ones you're after!!

Thank you, and yes, near Catania and Naples. Are you familiar? It was an emotional experience just being there!

IDK, I am pretty sure I've seen them for as low as $10 a pop. I've gotten a few free as well. they tend to not be expensive. $23 sounds high to me, but who knows, market prices may vary by location and local market demands etc.

@rodrossi9749 Yes, they were about $13 at Hobby Lobby, a great deal. You can still buy entire brand new Auto World slot cars there for $19.99, if you're lucky enough to have one in your area. I'm right in the middle of 3 stores, a 10 minute drive to any of them.

@MoonDogSlotCarRacing You are so right, they sometimes went on sale at Hobby Lobby as buy on get one free, and I was able to stock up on a few of them for $6.50 each!

$12.95 was the everyday price at all 3 Hobby Lobby stores near me.

Oh, it took us a long time to do it, but what an experience! If you get a chance, it has so much to offer!

Completely! Beauty at the turn of every corner! Walking through and exploring the little towns where all my grandparents once lived was incredible and emotional! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment.

Exactly, thank you!!

2024 Darwin Award winner. should not impact their product. IMO that's not on AW at all to have to do anything about that. /SMH

That has a real nice ring to it! I still haven't officially named it but that's a very good one to be considered. Thank you!

Yeah, I heard the speculation about what the problem could be, just hoping they bring them back in some form. A semi is a fantastic idea! I would love to see that! I would have loved to be able to dumpster dive at the end of the Aurora era, and possibly at Hobby Lobby now, too! Lol!

that would be a shame if they really did toss them all.... 2024 Darwin Award winner. should not impact their product. IMO that's not on AW at all to have to do anything about that. /SMH

Thank you so much! Yeah, they can be very good racers. Those Super III's can be problematic to build and run well, though. Let's hope they return with something special!

glad to see some positive feedback. I have had some really fun and fast racers out of the AW Ultra G chassis and some 4Gear as well.

Thank you! Hopefully they quickly correct their issues and are able to produce more in the near future.
