Very well said, thanks for sharing. Dave you were one of the first channels I came across when I got into slot car racing about a year and a half ago now bought a digital track and now and also bought the analog starter piece and I can switch off between the two because I now I have a lot of analog cars. I’m up to about 70 cars and 200 feet of track. this is so addicting I love it. I always look forward to clicking on your Next video to see what’s up and I love slack news great job buddy. Thanks for inspiring all of us. I’ve got a slot car corner, banner and quick slicks, I would love to get one of your slacker news banners those are awesome, and also you got me hooked on buying shirts off that website now that I see you wearing all the cool shirts thanks buddy lol have a great day😁👍🏎️🏎️🏎️
The rumor I heard was the reason why the Camaro name was removed is that GM plans to use the name on a crossover possibly an EV like the Mach E by Ford.
Excellent insight Dave, thank you for sharing! I don't know why people speculate, then go running with it like it's fact. I suppose it draws clicks, but it's obvious a lot of people have no clue what they are talking about on the subject. Then you come out with a video like this, and they scoff at that. Go figure lol.
Thanks for that informative post Dave . Im looking forward to getting a couple of the nascars .of course, it would be awesome to get 124 versions, but with sales so low in 124, and i suspect they dont expect big Nascar sales in Europe, I tend to sadly agree with you about the 124s
Hi Dave, I already replied to your comment on my video which addressed most of this. I do want to correct you on one thing. Canada has it's own distributor now. Canadian retailers no longer deal with Carrera of America for anything. This includes returns and warranties. The change occurred earlier this year.
The strike as been suspended b/c USMX made a tentative agreement to a 62% increase in pay to the Longshoreman over the next 6 years. Contract negotiations will begin in January 2025. ILA and USMX have released a joint statement. Btw the strike began at midnight on Tuesday. Dock workers have already resumed work.
Wow ,, those numbers are hard to believe ,,, i think the 1/24 scale are the best value out there ,,, what other brand is there that comes close ? BRM are cool but very pricey ,,, i am not doubting you just wonder why carrera even still makes 1/24 with those sad stats
Dave, do you think the 1/43 Hot Rod's (64222 & 64223) will be made as 1/32 or 1/24 scale versions? Hot Rod trucks would be a cool addition to my Hot Rod 1/32 & 1/24 scale collections from Carrera.
I can’t imagine they would. The last one that Carrera made in 1/32 scale as far as I can remember, was the blue car with the orange flames on it that I researched and probably 2013 or 2014 I took photos of it at the Macungie hotrod show and I think that was the last one hot rod didn’t really sell very well for us then.
@@SlotCarNewsOfficial that is too bad. Yes, that was a Willy's coupe (30603) in 2012. It did linger for a while on shelfs and was only one year in the catalog, maybe because it was the only one and the older versions were nowhere to be found?
sad because the 1/24 are the most fun to run
Yep! For sure!
Rumors equate to what people want. The companies need to listen.
glad to hear you are pro union, proud AFSCME member here

Thanks DK - loving the insider knowledge. Makes a bit more sense than the keyboard warriors out there!

We would buy all 4 NASCAR cars in 1/24. Love the big cars. A shame the realities are otherwise
Thanx Dave. Interesting news.
Great insight Dave! Thanks.
Interesting, Dave; thank you for sharing all this info.

excellent good to hear that they have their own distributor now!!!!

Yes, the second word on the chassis is „Camaro“.

Amazon listing expects Oct. 15th for the 1/32 set fwiw.
I just got an official update from Carrera this afternoon.
I gotta big o smile my face
Will the new cars have any silicone tires that will fit. Are they Similar to the Tony Stewart car from a few years again
nothing yet. Quickslicks is making new tires.
Dave, do you think the 1/43 Hot Rod's (64222 & 64223) will be made as 1/32 or 1/24 scale versions? Hot Rod trucks would be a cool addition to my Hot Rod 1/32 & 1/24 scale collections from Carrera.

15:32 yes
It seems like a missed opportunity to have only one release of a car. Why not offer new versions year after year as long as the market supports it?
@@itssolaughable3342 they don’t know ahead of time if the market will support it
