Today In Slot Talk I look into the right car/s for the right track/person!
It is a 240z Datsun not a 510 Datsun sorry for the confusion!

I recently got into slot cars and I’ve bought all of these cars you are reviewing. Question, can the plastic guide pin be swapped out to metal on the extraction cars. All of mine came this way and they get hung up on everything same with the 4gear cars. I don’t understand why they have the plastic they seem like junk.

Most metal guide pins for HO scale will fit AW cars

That Datsun looks like a Z. The 510 is a boxier shaped sedan. I owned both when they were released in the 1970. Very nice video.

In my experience, 4Gear whoops over all my Xtractions as far as straight up speed. Also, stays on the track way better as you said. Wish they offered it with the Flamethrowers (light up headlamps) option. Yes, they're longer so they shouldn't handle as well, but I find for the inexperienced, it's easier to go faster around the track because of this.

The stock X-Traction cars that I had kept going off track with my grandkids going full throttle. I kept the AW bodies but bought some Jag Hobbies NC-2 GT & TR3 chassis. They are more planted chassis. With the AW variable power supply at it's lowest & the kids pressing full speed, they don't fly off much.

@johnrountree370 Жыл бұрын

What scale is the Ford GT 40? If the Barracuda is that small compared to a GT 40, one of he two is horribly out of scale. Is scale not important in HO racing? I come from the 1/32 world, thinking of downsizing. But, if scale is that off and unimportant, then I will pass on HO.

There is 2 tracks. 1 - the urban track is a 4 lane on the inner area. 8'x10' 2 - the super speedway is 2 lanes. 8.5'x11' For the most part I have a power supply for each and every lane. AFX power packs

@garrylogan5995 Жыл бұрын

@@slotvalleyracing Good info on that. I have Tyco tracks from multiple set purchases over the years with some cars, no room to build a layout is my challenge. From time to time, I'll set up a small track with bridges and turns off the top and run a few cars for a couple of laps and store it away. I've been looking at the new AFX products and they're doing an awesome job with the new cars and track sets. I might just be tempted at some point in buying a big set of an AFX track and slowly build another collection of cars with it. It's a fun hobby to begin with if you're a true motorhead and it's nice to see your channel pique the interest of the hobby back when it was fun to just go window shop for new track sets and cars. I'll be looking for more of your good content in the future👍
