These people you’re listening to are NOT wise. New humans can’t learn faster than smart technology so that implies that in the near future the human race gets less educated and the machines tell you all what to do. Buying 1 car makes you a consumer and the car GOT CONSUMED. You didn’t get an investment! In 5 years, you got a broken car. It’s still broken in 10 years. It got consumed! It’s worn out! You made NO investment in the design or the car or the industry. None!
As a Ford fan, Shinoda is royalty for creating the BOSS! I always loved the 69-70 Boss 302s specifically the hood stripes that went down the fenders and then down the side. Snazzy Riot is a killer name and looks sweet!
Internet gamers now have vastly superior knowledge than you have in 2019. They’re fine tuning and actually driving the cars of the future, right now. You are WAY behind with your knowledge. We’re not going back to living in pyramids.
Excellent video my uncle had slot cars in th 60s and he use to take my brother and I to slot car tracks when we were kids in the 80s. Lots of good memories. Love your channel thumbs up stay awesome slot car races.
I would love to hear how the race went Casey. I dig how connected you are to the 60s era of Slot Car racing....I too love it and have been collecting for a very long time and completely agree with all the point you made about why it’s so enjoyable. I hope you’re able to reach others and help to grow the hobby. There are sooo many aspects to it and so much to enjoy.
My father raced slot cars competitively in the 60’s and these are exactly what he described. I only have the little Tyco, plastic slot cars but I loved them. I still have my setup that I use with my kids today. Thanks for so many returns to my early youth and the joy of racing - feels good man.
My father and I race with a fellow Mr. Lindsey. He won the inaugural Parma Womp Championship in the 70s. He was a factory Champion slot car driver back in the day too. Very sharp fellow, and seen all there is in slot cars... We also race Monogram and Strombecker midgets along with the Eldon Indy cars. I finished second to Mr. Lindsey in the Alabama Womp Championship. If you're ever in the north Alabama reach out. We have a huge clubs here for all scales. I race HO cars a bit when I can. My father has a 1/32 track and an HO oval so we can find something to race on.
Cool stuff. I never had those high end slot cars, more the stuff you buy in a ready to run kit with track and everything. I got bored with it as time went on and interest wasnt there for me. Seeing this kinda renewed interest and I'm intersted more in this building aspect. Good vid.
Larry Shinoda is an unsung hero! C2 Corvette....Check! C3 Corvette? Check, L-88 Hood scoop Check! the 69 Camaro ZL-2 "Cowl Induction" hood scoop Check! Indy car crew member Check! and took the STUPID brake scoops off the 1969 Boss 302 Mustang along with naming the car & designing the side stripes. I have a T shirt with Zora Duntov's and Larry Shinoda's autographs on it...a cherished item. There is a Slot Car raceway in Palouse Washington if anyone is interested.
You don’t start off in life at age 50. They’re always going to have more than you. But now you have smart technology, so the keepings off game is finished.
My dad was into these back in the day when he was a kid. We still have a box of all his slot car stuff somewhere. I was a bit more into the rc cars when I was that age. Cool video.
Hey man, just subscribed, watched a few of your classic slot car videos, I'm about your age but started building & repairing slot cars from my dad's era, he grew up in the 60s in Southern California where the majority of the fledgling companies were located & used to go to a commercial track there (can't remember the name)... When he passed away, I got some of my old slot cars out again & fell in love with them again... It's a wonderful hobby, isn't it?
Fantastic video, Casey!!! Can't wait to meet you at the Shinoda Reunion. I especially like the Cox chassis with the movable wing! Man, you don't do things by half-measures, do you?!
All this slotcar stuff made me buy one of the commercially available tracks a few days ago. The track set is 1:24 while the car I have for it (which at this point is just an off-the-shelf car. A Porsche 917k to be exact) is 1:32 scale. I plan on getting myself a chassis (because I lack the tools to make one on my own atm) and build a belt driven AWD slotcar with that. Already looking forward to doing that. I honestly feel like a kid again.
next time you go to the slot car track , can you show us different kinds of slot cars they have , I saw the glass case behind you and I saw drag cars/stock cars and even saw regular cars like a 1971 dodge charger and a 99 dodge viper
I remember building Pinewood derby cars when I was a boy scout back in the day. I wish I had heard about slot cars back then too. It's interesting to learn about them even now.
As always I enjoyed this one Casey, thank you for "can do" attitude. Right now I'm sitting in my work office putting the finishing touches to a scratchbuilt old skool slingshot drag slot car destined for my grandson after a proxy event in Ohio (check out Homeracing World). BTW that means an Atlantic crossing postal delivery as I am in he UK!
The car Gene sent you... is that a K&B "Wildcat" under the hood"? K&B had a 36D and 16D. One was the Bobcat, the other the Wildcat. If I remember correctly, the Cox gears were dark gray Delrin with aluminum hub. I had a "La Cucuracha" but it did not have the pivoting motor.
this is awesome! I have collected hotwheels my whole life so i appreciate your passion/knowledge about slot cars , moreso I'd love to see more slotcar vids of the channel

Casey. The problems that you are having with the Benz is a valuable lesson. Just because it is a dealership does not mean that they are knowledgeable. Check out Mercedes source on RUclips. Yes I know that he is out on the West coast but he seems to know what he is talking about. He just this summer sold his two door luxury coupe. He had crazy problems with his and fixed it because of battery problems. The guy from the Akron dealership came across as being knowledgeable. A knowledgeable technician is worth his weight in gold. I had major problems with a Jeep a couple years ago and know first hand how great an excellent technician can be. Long crazy story that will not fit here. If you are looking for your next car, do your research. Do not be fooled by the hype.
My duty to the WW 2 alliance is to warn your whole country that Australia has socially imploded. There is so much fighting amongst the age groups, they couldn’t even field a slot car team from like minded people. It would take 20 years for 2 people to say hello to each other in Melbourne and Sydney. We killed off ballroom dancing.
Does anyone remember Capetta? These kinda remind me of those cars in Capetta 😅 (Also, didn't Speedracer have a sequel with his son attending some institute or something?)
@@CaseyPutsch: I would never underestimate your ability to circumvent the "Dark Farces". Might I suggest a review of Rob's VinWiki video about the Land Rover and the infamous "Bumper to bumper" warranty? You may glean something from it as you prepare to lay waste to the notion of "Superior German engineering. Good luck and May the Farce be with you!

Lol, what happened to DEALERSHIP videos. I get a comment notification and "comments not available" "video is private" ... So you made it private?? Why?
Thanks to the internet and smart TV’s consumers now realise if you buy 1 item and open the packaging YOU’VE BECOME A CONSUMER. Not a collector! Not a modifier either. You’re SO terribly influenced by baby boomers, you don’t even realise it. If you buy 1 of each item, you’re still only a consumer. If you buy 3 of each, you are serious about the object and begin to become a modifier. You can’t modify successfully if you’ve got nothing to compare it with. To become a collector you MUST BUY at least 5 or 6 cars of the same car model. What you actually have is a lot of consumed cars and ‘down time’ when you can’t even drive the car. The more units you buy the less down time you have and the more knowledge you get about the car design. You don’t realise the journey you’re on. You’re on the journey to broken cars that get consumed, with NO collection in 5 years and NO investment in 10 year.
@@CaseyPutsch now I'm getting curious. I might have to get a couple motors and hand wind a few armatures. I'm wondering how high of an amp draw I can put through one before meltdown. And then back it up 1 notch.
@@karlporath8904 26d was just size designation for the motor the popular can motors in the 60s for slot racing were Mabuchi ft 36d's & ft 16d's the 36 being similar in size to the rs 360 & the 16 being the same length but 1/3 shorter in height. The 36 had more torque & power down the straights & the 16 handled corners better with a lower centre of gravity. The 26d was meant to be a compromise lower in height than the 36 & shorter than both motors it handled better than a 36 & had more torque & power than a 16. These are all 3 pole motors with up around 100 turns of 31awg wire. At the same time in the 60s slot car part company's like DynaRewind ,Mura ,Champion & others along with racers themselves started rewinding them & doing triple winds & double winds along with single winds of up to 24awg better magnets were sourced to go with these winds & the 16d became supreme. Smaller motors have come out since & some of the motors you can get now like the wing car & top drag class cars strap motors are so tiny but with cobalt & neo magnets & winds like 14 turns of 23awg & up are super fast the top drag class cars are running over 100mph in less than half a second on a track 55ft long so there is some cool stuff out there. Hope that is some help.
@@retrotom5346 Thanks. I raced 1/12 scale road in the early 90s, and wondered if the #'s indicated the wind. I could never afford the really expensive matched battery packs so I mostly ran stock "roar 90" spec motors I believe 27 turn singles. But I do remember a young kid Josh Cyril melting down battery buss bars with a 9 turned quad motor, simply because of current draw
It's great to see these slot car videos and I hope you continue making more about your racing ventures with them. When I was younger I always wanted to get into racing and 1/32 scale slot cars where my way in. There isn't many 1/24 scale tracks in the UK and 1/32 are generally cheaper anyway. I got pretty good to the point where company's like Scalextric would ask me to represent them in team events across the UK. Sadly when I went to College I stopped racing and now some of my local clubs have shut down too. I deffo need to get back out racing again sometime as I've got all my kit still tucked away lol.
So, the smart computer ruined your life too. Internet gaming is far superior for the user. Nobody’s going back to this stuff. New TV buyers aren’t going back to the old form of RUclips either! Smart technology uses THE APP and they don’t ever see your comments or get to comment. You’re wasting your time and mine by commenting. Smart people don’t ever see it, and won’t ever be responding.
@@dreyn7780 Video Games and Slot Car racing are two different things. You can't replicate the same visceral fun with a TV in-front of you. You simply can't replicate the same interactions you have as people when you're both racing and marshalling at Slot Car events. I wouldn't compare it to an old TV as that doesn't offer anything different. An Automotive comparison I would say it's more like manual gears vs automatic. A properly designed modern automatic can shift faster and smoother than an human can however people still like the old fashioned manual shifting even if they know it's not going to be faster when they're driving. It's the thrill of the physical interaction you have with things not all just smarter technology driving it for you.
My local track is 20km’s away. I’d have to ride 2 different train lines for 2 hours to get there. It’s placed at the edge of the city, a violent part of the city. Then I’d have to walk up hill for 20 minutes to get to the store. They had no food for sale, no public toilet, only 1 person driving on a track, nobody was there to sell anything and they didn’t want to part with any product displayed for sale. That’s Hallam, slot car track. In the real world, nobody is ever going there. They’d need to have an appearance from Michael Jackson to get someone to go there. A million real people just stay at home and PlayStation for free at no personal risk to their lives. Australia has socially imploded.
Casey you are really trying to get into my wallet. first you want to get me interested in karts now you wanna get me interested in slot car racing. stop it. I have enough hobbies already.
Car racing in internet gaming has made this form obsolete. There’s no waiting time for paint to dry in internet gaming, for example. You also don’t need to spend any real money for 100 custom colours in gaming. The user experience of racing cars in gaming is a million times better than slot car racing. In an enormous population, it will always seem like slot car racing didn’t die. Smart technology implies that you will NOT get an increase in slot car participation.
It doesn’t matter that you said that stuff about the double motors. 2 motors gives the user the ability to adjust cornering performance. So it’s actually a great feature for consumers to buy. The average car driver now knows how to adjust differentials for enhanced braking and acceleration and torque performance. Clearly you don’t know. You should have embraced the twin engine deal and evolved as an owner driver, but now it’s too late for you. Internet gaming is here and we’re way ahead of you and your friends.
I just love watching your slot car videos. Thank You Sir. Can I send you some information via e-mail? I don't believe that the e-mail on your RUclips page is working. (insert sad face icon here)
Its crazy how the 60s-70s-80s race cars are the basis design for the supercars/hypercars for the next 35years

Sadly when I went to College I stopped racing and now some of my local clubs have shut down too. I deffo need to get back out racing again sometime as I've got all my kit still tucked away lol.
So, the smart computer ruined your life too.
Internet gaming is far superior for the user.
Nobody’s going back to this stuff.
New TV buyers aren’t going back to the old form of RUclips either!
Smart technology uses THE APP and they don’t ever see your comments or get to comment.
You’re wasting your time and mine by commenting. Smart people don’t ever see it, and won’t ever be responding.
@@dreyn7780 Video Games and Slot Car racing are two different things. You can't replicate the same visceral fun with a TV in-front of you. You simply can't replicate the same interactions you have as people when you're both racing and marshalling at Slot Car events. I wouldn't compare it to an old TV as that doesn't offer anything different. An Automotive comparison I would say it's more like manual gears vs automatic. A properly designed modern automatic can shift faster and smoother than an human can however people still like the old fashioned manual shifting even if they know it's not going to be faster when they're driving. It's the thrill of the physical interaction you have with things not all just smarter technology driving it for you.
My local track is 20km’s away. I’d have to ride 2 different train lines for 2 hours to get there. It’s placed at the edge of the city, a violent part of the city.
Then I’d have to walk up hill for 20 minutes to get to the store.
They had no food for sale, no public toilet, only 1 person driving on a track, nobody was there to sell anything and they didn’t want to part with any product displayed for sale.
That’s Hallam, slot car track.
In the real world, nobody is ever going there. They’d need to have an appearance from Michael Jackson to get someone to go there.
A million real people just stay at home and PlayStation for free at no personal risk to their lives.
Australia has socially imploded.
Casey you are really trying to get into my wallet. first you want to get me interested in karts now you wanna get me interested in slot car racing. stop it. I have enough hobbies already.
Car racing in internet gaming has made this form obsolete.
There’s no waiting time for paint to dry in internet gaming, for example. You also don’t need to spend any real money for 100 custom colours in gaming.
The user experience of racing cars in gaming is a million times better than slot car racing.
In an enormous population, it will always seem like slot car racing didn’t die.
Smart technology implies that you will NOT get an increase in slot car participation.
It doesn’t matter that you said that stuff about the double motors.
2 motors gives the user the ability to adjust cornering performance. So it’s actually a great feature for consumers to buy.
The average car driver now knows how to adjust differentials for enhanced braking and acceleration and torque performance. Clearly you don’t know.
You should have embraced the twin engine deal and evolved as an owner driver, but now it’s too late for you.
Internet gaming is here and we’re way ahead of you and your friends.
I just love watching your slot car videos. Thank You Sir. Can I send you some information via e-mail? I don't believe that the e-mail on your RUclips page is working. (insert sad face icon here)
