CARRERA SLOT CAR TRACK

I love it! And I have been getting rid of my stuff. One question ...how do you get a car that comes off the track in the back? I have a lead foot even in the small scale. Keep up the good work

I realized that the size of the layout was going to be too big to reach across shortly after setting it up so I moved the supporting tables a few feet away from the walls. It's a bit of a walk around it to retrieve cars but not too bad.

I had trouble with some of the cars not gripping the track surface very well and it was a real headache trying to keep them on the track. I ordered some small neodymium magnets that I plan on experimenting with. Hopefully they'll aid with handling.

One thing that has really surprised me is how fast the tires wear on these cars. After about 30 laps you can actually start to see rubber building up around the rear wheel wells/quarter panels just like real cars. - Not much, but it's there. While building the track I did quite a bit of research on scale racing and found that some places where they compete guys will actually change tires in the middle of long races. I'll probably keep running mine 'til I'm down to the rims LOL.
