Thunderslot McLaren Elva Mk.1 Slot Car

Thunderslot McLaren Elva Mk.1 Talking a little bit about the McLaren Elva Mk.1 by Thunderslot. There are two featured in this video: #2 and #47. I figured since I own a couple I might as well talk about them a little bit. Note: I misspoke about the axle size. It's 3/32.

Great tips thanks 👍
Oh yeah, talk about how fast a GT 40 in a scalectrics brand can be holy crap fastest thing ever
During the pandemic, I drug out my old Strombecker from 1966 1/32 scale, 124 scale track and add 66 feet of hill climb in my living room for about from 2018 to 2024. It was amazing just like you said in the beginning, and then a monster of a track layout and more cars and more track. It was fun. Your video is just like my experience ….long live slot caring
What about where the sensors are?
This is an analog track. I don't have sensors.
Hello, good work. How is it holding up? I am wondering if hitting it with a flat clearcoat would be an improvement?
Hi, it's working great. Never had an issue with any of it and the look is uniform even if the pieces were painted at different times. I have no idea about a clearcoat or what that might do.
@@biggusmikus Good to know, thanks for the reply. I was thinking of the constant rubbing of the tires and etc following the same basic running lines lap after lap, thinking it would eventually rub the paint off, Usually after the paint job dries, if you put a clear coat on it, the item is protected much better, like a car finish or an outdoor table...today's modern paint probably has those protectants built in. Thanks again for verifying that it's holding up :)
@@roundsaturn31 I've never had any paint rub off. I have had, however, a racing line develop on the track as the cars lay rubber down. I use rubber tires when possible, usually the stock rubber. So on track there is a light racing line. I'm wondering what kind of traction properties a layer of clear coat would have. The vinyl works great on top. I suppose if clear coat didn't create a totally slick surface, then it would probably work. I'd definitely try it on a track piece or two before going all in on it just in case.
@@biggusmikus yes, we are on the same page...it's kind of interesting since I was thinking of spray painting for a cocrete look and then sealing it with a flat clear coat, for the clear coat to work it would have to seal the paint...so even flat would probably create a slicker surface...don't know and probably over thinking it, but that's what learning is all about :) Thanks for the chat and Happy Holidays!
can NSR be chipped for Carrera d132?
Yes they can.
@MikeyHanson. Awesome paint job on the track. Does it provide more grip? Awesome Thunderslot elva video too. I was thinking of picking up a few thunderslot cars. I truly love the Slot it cars and Mrslotcars cars.
I've done comparisons with new track and freshly painted new track, and I feel a grip improvement. It's not much, but it's noticeable in the corners. The larger the radius of curve, the more grip improvement there is. I love Thunderslot cars. Not a dud in the bunch.
Another great review, thanks for sharing!!!!
Thunderslots are great cars!!!!
Nice review!! Subbed your channel!
Right on! Thanks Slotcar Dude!
An excellent Slotcar directly out of the box.
@MikeyHanson awesome layout is your track painted? Is your track a copy of an existing racecourse? I want to build (lack space) an homage to the Sazuka racecourse in Japan, and maybe Silverstone in G.B. Possibly all though it’s very complex the circut of the Americas here in Texas. 30 years ago a road race for (I believe IMSA or maybe IROC) was run in Dallas. Fantastic road course, I wouldn’t mind building. I’m going for Sazuka or Dallas road course winter 23/24 as my slot car project. Have you named your course? Well great video awesome channel I subscribed. Have a great time whenever you get this.
Hi, thanks! I used to have a course setup when I had a permanent table in my attic. I've moved to an apartment since then, so my priorities have shifted to tuning and racing cars on temporary circuits I can squeeze into my living room. Yes, I painted the track with exterior latex house paint and it came out great. Have fun with whichever track you decide on making! I can never decide, so I like having to constantly change.
@MickeyHanson. Awesome video Awesome Chanel. I have a few thunder slots. I will have to try out the urethane tires. I bought mine from eBay and they didn’t come with urethane. I love the thunder slots. Hard to control but once you figure it out it’s perfect.
Since you used a latex (water-based) paint....how are the metal guides holding up?
Everything is working great. I haven't had a single track piece go bad.
Thanks for this!
Great stuff!!
Thanks a lot!
Earth girl greetings….hey now.
Looking forward to all the cool stuff Mikey.
Thanks Duffy Mark
🏴🤣
The best yellow!
Addictive presentation!
Thanks!
Love it!
Moon gel = no tone in my opinion
I'm sure Slot it will have many more liveries of the Ferrari 512 coming down the pike. It looks gorgeous but the rear spoilers probably won't stay attached for long.
You can't beat the Ford GT40 and cars look amazing nothing nothing like it cool builds👍👍👍😎💯♥️👍👍👍👌✌💯
Slot.it, NSR and Thunderslot all have the same size rear axle, 3/32"
Yeah, thanks. I got a little mixed up on that stuff.
Better, same or less grip?
I think there’s a slight but noticeable increase in grip.
The design of the guide is meant to make it easier to marshal the car if it comes out of the track while racing.
That sounds like a good reason it’s shaped like that. Thanks Mark!
Are you back racing on the floor now, Mikey?
Yep, as much as my back and knees protest. But I have a need for speed!
@@biggusmikus What happened to the tables you had set up in the attic?
@@markphillips5368 Wife and I broke up…had to move. I still have the wood, though. Just no place to set it up at the moment.
@@biggusmikus Sorry to hear that, Mikey. Have been through the same thing before - not the nicest thing to happen.
@@markphillips5368 thanks. Yep, not a whole lot of fun. But it is what it is.
I love lemon and chrome (darker) race cars too. I am spraying up a pair of Ford GT40 Mk II cars right now. One will be the No8 car from Le Mans 1966. I do like the Bosch 917/10 and I am tempted. However, I have gone for the new orange Jagermeister livery to add to my Vasek Polak pair - so now I have three of these!
I was just looking at that Jagermeister car today....
Slightly off subject but I followed your video on painting Carrera track. I used a asphalt gray color, but your tip was very good.
Hey that's great! I hope you like the results.
War mega nice wie immer
Hoffentlich nächstes Jahr wieder?
Ich glaube so!
Killer video Mike!!!
Thanks Kris!
I love mine too! And it is a very quick car on the track! Congrats and enjoy!!!
Thanks and you do the same!
Awesome. Love... LOVE the rear-view mirror trick. That's totally my flavor of engineering.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe
Thanks Dani!
<Sorry, I have the translation in my "to do" list...but you can get subtitles in the videos! You have links to all the spares in the website!
what a lovely story, well narrated and filmed, your in the wrong business friend, love from slot car crazy lady with a 4 lane wooden copper tape track that fills half my double garage, I waited all my life for for a track like this so I know how you feel :) :)
Thanks very much! Very kind words! I loved having the attic table, and would absolutely fill a 2-car garage if given the opportunity. My 5-year old daughter loves slot cars, so now I have someone to race with. I love it!
@@biggusmikus your welcome Mikey, my two daughters and my son grew up with Scalextric and loved racing, these days my son who is 30, is the only one who can beat me on the wooden track, great family fun hobbie that feeds the imagination with good wholesome memories ... keep it up :)
Great cars and great review mate
Hey thanks that slotcarguy! Love your stuff!
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
tolle Geschichte , so hab ich angefangen 👍
and a drummer too!
"the sweeper" looks like fun, a well crafted turn! you have some really good looking cars - we seem to have the same taste in cars
Thanks. I ended up covering the table in green grass, which I liked very much. I used that because I never planned on doing scenery or anything, as I like to change up my layouts a lot. That whole situation is over now, as I've moved out and the table is no longer. Now I run on the floor for the time being and am focusing on the cars more. I love all the Classic race cars! Thanks for watching
I'm thinking about using chalkboard paint and see how much the traction improves and maybe add fine aggregate if I need to.
That should be interesting. I don't think I've seen that done before. Let me know how it goes.
@@biggusmikus Well I painted some curves that can be slick and now my Mustang gty isn't as twitchy I can squeeze the trigger harder coming out of the corner, it can still spinout but not as easy, still going to experiment after the urethane tires show up..
@@mreid08 Right on. I definitely noticed a difference once I gave my cars some time to lay down some rubber on the track. Seemed to get better as it went along. Thanks for the update. Cool that that worked out. You should notice a difference with the urethane tires as well.
ρяσмσѕм 💦
Nice video, painting plastic track is easier than I thought. Any special tires work better on the paint than others? Or are you using stock Slot-It?
Thanks! I found that the paint had no negative effect on the stock tires. In fact, the Slot.it tires run great on it. I also run urethanes, but not on all the cars, just a few of them.
A very nice video & history with photos of your previous track layouts. If you don't mind me asking, in what state are you located? I'm in NH, no home track, but have been a commercial raceway 1/24 scale racer since 1967.
I'm in Germany. I've been here 12 years now, originally from California. Great place to find Carrera stuff. Big displays at department stores during the holidays, stuff like that. Really great commercial tracks here as well.
th-cam.com/video/WcAxu6iI7ZI/w-d-xo.html /; SCALEAUTO Challenge Championship ,12. hours… interesting test 16 international teams here in ZALLA, I recorded 1 day… I hope well
Good video. I have been wanting one of these Thunderslot CanAm cars, but having problem deciding between the Elva and M6B, but this helps me decide. Thanks.
Right on, thanks! Yeah, that's a hard decision. They're both great cars. I suppose I could have gone either way and been totally happy, and in the end got both anyway, so it ultimately didn't matter all that much.
