So here's a little something. The official Audioslave video Show Me How to Live has the white Dodge Challenger from the Vanishing Point movie. AW has made the car a couple times, currently in the recent ICONS XTraction release. The music is beyond excellent and they have Chris Cornell behind the wheel of the Challenger. Check it out!

It looks like your 4-LED light tower is actually 4 individual positive and negative wires wrapped together. Simce that works just fine with the quick connect piece, could you theoretically connect several different light poles to the quick connect plug instead of using the expansion hub?
@slotvalleyracingКүн бұрын
Yes , the voltage in the LEDs is so low that I can actually hook up several lights to one port.

That white Blazer with flames is going to be more popular and expensive than the Candy Striper was. Be a $100 car if not close to it. They will be hoarded. So what you do is grab one the instant you see it at a price you can tolerate.

Good informative video. Im getting back into ho cars since the 60’s. Bought an AFX set and have 20 cars from different manufacturers. Only 4 cars run quiet, the others are loud with two new AFX cars make that screaming motor bearing sound. Will try to oil them but disappointed with quality control. Thanks in advance.

I have about 2 dozen SCX Compact slot cars. 2 Porsche, 1 Mercedes, 1 Audi, 3 Nissan 350 Tuner cars, 2 F1 cars and a bunch of the NASCAR cars. Picked them up on Marketplace and ebay all used. Plus 1 new Carrera Go - BMW M4. The SCX seem to handle better w a lower center of gravity. Enjoyed the vid . Your track scenery is looking great.

Hi. To answer your question, mine was definitely worth the money. It was $7.50 at Goodwill, and it contains all the parts, and the cars work perfectly. I could probably flip the set or part out the cars for it for at least quadruple the money, but it's such a kitschy item I might just keep it. Note; only the cars included will work with it. My auto world and Life-like ones just kind of sputtered out. The cars wouldn't work on my Life-like layout either. So it's probably by design, but again it's a cool little set.

Hey Ted. The AW axels or chassis in general is very lax on their tolerances but is one was bent. It's extremely soft metal.(cheap) I hand straightened it.

Nice information, I had never heard of this. I'll use this to get some more use out of some burned up shoes. My only concern was the glue being an electrical insulator, but seems like it works just fine. I was curious if you considered soldering the braid to the shoes? I thought it might work to place a small piece of solder between the braid and shoe, then press and hold the soldering gun tip to the braid to melt it in place.

It works on drag cars. I tried 4 cars and they all gained speed, one car gained 1/10 of a second! I just used 100% silicon (what I had), works great. However, the question is would this be considered "Braids" as pickup shoes? If it is then I will stick to full braids. But this is so easily done.
@slotvalleyracing9 күн бұрын
This was done in the 60s then stopped. Doing this to any HO car will make it run better. Now add a piece of WD40 straw to the guild pin and you can run it on your large scale track. Just remember to turn the rear axel around because the car will run in the opposite direction.
