There
are many different links to slot car racing information on our website.
Slot car racing is a complex hobby ranging from HO and 1/43 Chinese
sets you buy at Toys R Us for very little money, then there is the very
realistic looking european  1/32 slot cars that are
plastic and still regarded more as toys than sport, and finally there
are the 1/24 scale professional quality slot cars made of metal and run
on commercial wood tracks with big budgets and technology associated
with them. We do them all and know the top professionals in all
categories literally. We have a slot car hobby tutorial that is totally

The hobby of slot car racing as we know it today, has been one of the most enduring technological hobbies of modern times. The exact year of when slot cars were invented is debatable. As far as being able to buy and race a car on a slot car track in a retail venue, that year is probably 1963. So you can see, slot cars have survived against other hobbies, political climates, video games, radio control, simulators and even it's own inner turmoil. The average slot car track has struggled since the late 60's. It may not survive too much longer... Unless. * No matter what you want to know we cover some of it here. Types of slot car motors, all scales of slot cars, building slot cars, resources for slot cars, a slot car blog , types of slot car tracks and of course a slot car store at amazon for your safe shopping pleasure. |
The primary purpose of SlotCarsForever.com is to provide a roadmap - a plan to preserve slot car racing for generations to come.

Here's just some of what you'll discover

The bottom line is that slot car racing has lost it's appeal as far as the format and price. Something has to be done. The cost has become so high and the value low. The car you buy from a large commercial raceway doesn't look good and doesn't run good. It takes some rebuilding to make the car competitive. The Europeans do it a little better. They produce extremely accurate looking true scale cars. They are even adding electronics so 2 cars can run on the same lane. It has to be said, that the Scalextric, Carrera, Fly, etc 1 32 slot cars are not much more than models. They don't have designed chassis, they use magnets to help them stay in the slot of a plastic track. You won't get these around a big commercial slot car track. So we are talking about 2 different types of slot car racing. The choice is yours. We will help you with both. Slotcars it over to some fun now! |
