Great choices all, a car that is easy to drive and is a little forgiving when I push it are my favorite cars. A super touchy car that's always on the edge of wrecking all the time gets put back on the shelf until I figure out how to calm it down and make it smooth and a pleasure to run.

Although the Elva was slower than the Mosler or 908/3 from NSR, I noticed it went around the first corner of the track without very much sliding out of the cars tail when exiting the corner. Cars sliding out on the corners looks good, but it costs with lap times being slightly slower because the car has momentarily lost traction.

It would be cool to see a video on the smart race app and how you use it to set up races and track lap times etc. It would be cool to know of a system of how to use it effectively for keeping stats. I find that often I forget to select the car I am using and then the data is all messed up for the different cars etc.
@twolinesslotcars

That is the key to making the stat tracking accurate.. choosing the car that is actually on the track. It only takes a second to make the change.. I am still trying to figure out how best to organize a race efficiently.

All of those are great choices, Marty. As you say, it's not always about the lap times. One of the first cars I ever bought was a Carrera Porsche GT1 98 with idler-wheel drive (no gear; the motor spins a rubber idler wheel that turns a rear tire) - it's certainly not the fastest car, but it's silky smooth and crazy quiet. I 'ts like driving in stealth mode... 😀

Great video. Like to see you guys that can drive these things no mag. Question, what's the tape you have on the bottom of some of the chassis?
@twolinesslotcars
Жыл бұрын
Dave, it is strapping tape. Which is basically shipping box tape that has some fiber reinforcement. It allows the motor pod to move but dampens it a little to slow the movement down a little. If I can hear a cars chassis sort of slam into a corner.. I will put a piece of tape across the front of the motor pod to calm that down.. it doesn’t take much..

Hi Marty, I could use your advice. I want to build a small slot car track in a 2’x4’ glass coffee table. It’s for a disabled adult. I want one that won’t keep falling off the track. What do you recommend?
@twolinesslotcars

In that space, your best bet would be in either HO or 1/43 scale like Carrera Go. These cars use magnets and will stay in the slot a little easier.

Paul, I installed a 25k Predator motor that has some magnetic downforce in my 908/3. My Mosler came with a 21.5 magnetic downforce motor too. Some tracks might not allow that motor.

Is there a way to improve how a chipped Slot-it car runs over a lane change sections? The dead spot is a lot larger than Carrera cars. I assume it’s because Carrera cars has the doubled braid on the guide.
