Yeah, I haven't been able to build anything right out of the box for about 30 years now.

Wow, these are cool! Especially like the Studie & the back motor car. All of them are way above my level. Heh

We play at the slot car track from time to time.

Mark, when are you racing again? We have had around 120 cars at the past 3 races. I hope to see you soon.

Great cars, and a great thread! I hope this is a thread that goes on for awhile.

I don' think that's the kind of model he was talking about.

Back from the days when I built models.

My wife, who is a much better drag slot car driver than I, is in big trouble if the COVID thing gets in her, so we are parked(along with our little Super Pro dragster)for awhile. We have about 20 cars (8 are golden era funny cars) and really enjoy getting our butts handed to us by you locals, but it is still really fun. I enjoy your posts and real deal experience. We are looking forward to meeting you at Buena Park.

I think if a track was ever set up at a national event, slot car drag racing in that area would enjoy a huge resurgence.

It's been 25 years since I've built any models, but I've continued to collect on and off over the years. Here's a small sample from my closet.

Tamiya medium and light glue. Once you understand how they work, that is all you will use.

On a related topic, I started using acrylic paint for base coats. Cheap and plentiful(Walmart for under a buck). You have to play around with diluting them(use windshield wiper solution) and you have to use several light coats. I am having pretty good success with a HF dual action airbrush and their compressor.

Slixx decals has an awesome variety of golden era and current car decals. Find the car model and roll through Slixx and grab a decal sheet and you have your own semi-custom model/slot car.

Tony, same here! I haven’t built one since I was a kid, but I’ve accumulated a whole bunch over the years, treating them more like collectibles I guess. I have great memories of spending many nights meticulously building drag racing models, even won a couple shows.

The cool thing about slot car drag racing is you get to see your model car move and demonstrate to all why you are not driving a pro stocker in the NHRA tour.

Great Thread!!!!!!

Anyone remember these kits? This one is still sealed in the tin box container.
