- Mick A of www.slotcarcity... shows how to build a Pro drag slot car from the ground up. This video was made in 2010 and the popular thing back then was to add music which I do not do anymore and saves me a lot of time! This is just the 6 min. promo version, the full version is 5 hours long and can be ordered on two DVD's or downloaded from the Slot Car City's web site.

PLEASE NOTE: This promo video was made back in 2010 and adding music was the popular thing to do by many video makers! The actual 5 hour long "How-to" video we sell their is no music after the intro. My newer videos I do not take the time to add music which saves me a lot of time!
In the day when I was into slot cars, everything was built from brass plate 16 gauge, piano wire for the rails to take the brass tubing for the axels. For saloon cars, hinged side pans were made, from the above said brass plate. A hinged centre lined drop arm was made, which held the pickup. Great fun to build, and many hours spent with soldering iron and flux. Getting the build to the home town track, for testing, was always fun. As club members would bring their latest builds as well. Then the fun began.
Great video - it truly helps when you’re starting out 👍
Surprised this video has not generated more comments, I enjoyed watching it as I never knew how much work went into producing a Model Drag Kit Car, Thank You
I raced as a kid and LOVED it. wish I had time to get back into it.
I recommend using the Weller 50 watt soldering iron with chisel tip. We also sell a drag chassis jig made by Lucky Bob's which is really nice. We sell both of those on our web site (see link in above description area)

@TheAudiostud Thank you! :) I think most of the views are watched from my web site (see above) and my Ebay Store as mostly demos and did not actually come from RUclips and why their is no comments. It is used mostly for promotion of my full length (5 hour long) video. I am glad that you enjoyed it and I have the full 5 hour long as a download available on my web site for only $9.95! (see under downloads on left side of the web site) and also as a DVD.
Thanks again; Mick A (Slot Car City)
Outstanding, I'm looking into this. Thanks for a great informative vid.
Just got the 63 body and a sidewinder chassis kit for bigger tires
Thanks for sharing your stuff mate!!
@bobbymalta73 Your welcome! Glad you like the videos. Have you checked my slot car web site out yet? I have all the Full length downloads on there! (see the Slot Car City link above as I can't type it here)
Thanks again, Mick A
hi mickyvegas what kind of solder wire do you use? it is for electronics? the liquid of brush it is flux or glue?
Hello; Sorry for the long delay in answering your question as I just saw it a year later (LOL) I use the 60/40 Rosin Core Solder and you can use it for both soldering chassis or electronics. I use Lucky Bobs liquid acid flux which comes with a brush which we sell both on our web site.
We use the Parma Big Mama Braid and the Slick-7 Graphite Guide Flag. If you need further details, I tell about every item I use in the above video in the complete 5 Hour long version in either download or DVD which you can purchase on my web site listed above. $12.95 for download or $19.95 for the DVD.

Exactly how do you put a turbo on an electric slot car?? Also which one won? The vid only shows them leaving the line and then ends a split second later,???
I used to build these back in the 90s. I ran size 20 motors.
Hello Nathan; Yes Gr.20 motors are still used in today' drag cars.
Were are you gay's from I'm from barbuivill Kentucky
Group 20 motors
Is that a 55 foot drag strip?...or shorter?... Thanks!...
Nice production. Good story board, film sequence, angle shot, editing, and content. Race on and on.
Hi Daniel; Thank you for the kind remarks! Glad you liked my How-to Video. :) (Sorry it took so long to respond)
How far away is the nearest slot car track from barbuivill Kentucky and if their is one were can I find it
What wattage soldering iron is your choice? my finally went out, looking for a better replacement. Also looking for custom made jigs.
Do they make a tool the makes the magnets in the motor stronger if so where where do I get one
You can send them away to get them zapped back to full strength for a few bucks or buy the machine but they're a couple hundred bucks.
These builds are sure different now days , 50 years back I built drags using ink pen tubes with model kit tires 6 and 12 volts
is that like a little mini lathe or something you were udi g
sir
what brushes and guide are you using on the front?
What is glue for? To slow car down to hit your dial in?
Traction. Motors are all torque
Hello ZZ430T56; Yes both to slow the car down at the end and and to hook up the car to hit your dial in time otherwise a fast car would chatter down the track,
What Song is that?
It is called "Stand or Fall by Amasic / Janick Thibault". He has a RUclips channel called Janick Thibault.
can't here u music to loud drowns u out
Yeah the music was just for this Promo version. The actual download "How-to" video their is no music after the intro. This was made in 2010 (10 years ago) when that was the popular thing to do was to add music. My newer videos I do not take the time to add music which saves me a lot of time!
Interesting.
