Slot Car Racing Abroad - SRC Eindhoven, Netherlands
Follow me on my trip to The Netherlands to compete in the Suzuka Doube Digital Race race weekend at SRC Eindhoven in Best, NL. Saturday would be comprised of two ninety minute races for DiSCA GT3 Euroseries specification cars, with Sunday being a six hour endurance for DiSCA WEC specification cars.
Together with English diver Dave Maddock and Slot.it company President Maurizio Ferrari, we took on both races in the new Slot.it Nissan Nismo GT-R GT3.

CARRERA D132 - RamJet-X vs. TruSpeed IV Hand Controllers (Mini Review)

I tried the RamJet-X and TruSpeed Carrera-D IV hand controllers at a friend's circuit using cars with and without traction magnets. The video gives a brief summary of features and performance feel and ends by comparing prices and revealing my preference. Links to manufacturer's sites: RamJet - www.digit...

Scalextric Porsche 991 STRIP & PREP

In this video I prepare a Scalextric Porsche 991 RSR for competition. This is a basic "blueprinting" race prep for a box-stock club racing class in the UK. The only parts swap is the addition of polyurethane rear tyres, where all other modifications are simply to tune the existing chassis for preferable performance.

    great video and racing story... shame about the DNS..... amazing track - - - we want to do the same sort of track for casual racers for birthdays and events ... it will take a lot of work... but more importantly, we need to find affordable premises in London. We're just small team of 2 with limits. In November we hope to find something when I have more time on my hands.

    Hey bro I'm setting up a digital carrera track but I really like some of the scalextric cars.Would these cars work with a scalextric chip or do I need a carrera chip in the scalextric car or what do I do?

    • @slotcarazing
      @slotcarazing 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You’ll need a Carrera chip in the Scalextric Car. My recommendation would be to use the Slotit SP43 chip which is for Carrera Digital, it’ll be easier to fit into a Scalextric than an actual Carrera chip will be. Thanks for watching, have fun!

    • @slotcarazing
      @slotcarazing 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I suggest you contact a slot car supplier directly. You’ll need to order each and every piece of track individually. Depending on the length of the track you could be looking around ten thousand, more if it’s very long and six or eight lanes.

    Interesting video but I am a bit lost when it comes to the hand controller replacement you mentioned. I have tried to find them on ebay and only found two both second hand and they appeared to have a mains round pin plug attached to the end of the cable, this also confused me as my Scalextric controllers just plug into the Arc controller track! Could you give me a bit more info and maybe a link or two?

    • @slotcarazing
      @slotcarazing 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you’re referring to Parma then there’s every chance they’ll be hard to find now. DS is the modern equivalent for a basic resistor controller. The three pin plugs you mention are standard for clubs in the UK, they’re 2 amp fittings based on old lighting sockets. Not mains! Unfortunately ARC doesn’t allow third party connectivity but if you’re able to source an older scalex powerbase with 3.5mm audio jack sockets then you can buy something like a DS controller that’s already fitted with jack plugs from a retailer. Take a look at Pendle Slot Racing, they carry DS.

      Tyres really can be a minefield, I have a video covering some different kinds for 1/32 but it’s quite vague as there’s just too much to cover in detail. There’s so many factors to consider it’s impossible to give general recommendations. Thanks for watching

    50 odd years ago, the first thing we bought was more track. And, MORE track. Design a new layout,.. Damn, we're a curve and two straights short. Jump in the car, off to the nearest (rural) town. Rinse and, repeat. Spent as much on petrol, driving to the shop.

    Scalextric braid & guide setup are weak not as reliable as carerra. Very annoying setup in my opinion. Scalextric has way more better car selections by far. Carerra all the way for me. I do wish sh carerra would give us an option of solid black shoulders rather than the red & white. Not a fan of the white line either. But carerra is for me.
