Starting New Hobby, Slot Car Racing
Posted: January 29th, 2012, 7:57 pm
Ok call me what ever name but I remember as a kid how much fun I had racing slot cars. I would mod them without even knowing what modding was and building bodies from scratch using left over model car parts.
This whole thing started when I saw a 1/143 scale Artin racing set in the Salvation Army store for 6 bucks. Got it home and no cars no controllers so I've ordered those and just lined up a buy for 4 Formula 1 cars. I also put feelers out of course for an MX3. I have no idea about the hobby but my plan is to eventually build a 4 lane track and run 7.5 volt cars at around 12 volts. There's so much out there I'm kinda giddy about the whole thing and best part,,this stuff is pretty cheap and there's lots of it for sale out there. Here's a sample for those of you who have no idea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHfh72fJ ... re=related
Oh ya, I heard this Hobby attracts a lot of bitches so I'll be buying a fresh pair of Joe Boxers just in case.
