Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.

I have several Hornby in my slot car box.
The Mitsubishi has provision for extra magnets.

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

This is another one for the junk box unless I start selling on eBay. Trouble with eBay selling is the postal charges make items like this far too expensive and they have closed all the local post offices so it's a special journey just to post them anyway. So junk box or back to a charity shop.

+GrandadIsAnOldMan couldn't you just use a small screw for the guide pin thing

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Clorox bleach a plastic peg would be better. On proper Scalextric track the slots are conductive so putting a small screw in there would short circuit the power. The proper slot guides are not very expensive and available on eBay

[@2smokeHennerz]

Yeh I filled mine all it so it’s suck

[@protektosafe]

in the US, the missing part is the "slot pin". nice car.

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Yes, I just did a quick search on eBay and can see your slot car pins. The Scalextric slot car guide blade is a different shape and I can see your tracks are a different format so the Scalextric cars would not be directly compatible. If you do a search for "slot car guide blade" you will see the difference. Interesting to see how the companies have taken different approaches to the same basic product.

[@eneharu]

Would it work with your slot track if it had a steering thing?

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Not on the tracks that I have as they are only 3 volts and this wants 12 volts

[@anthonybelcher8569]

Awesome

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Thanks Tony 😊

[@2smokeHennerz]

Mitsobooshi Sorry I had to say that

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

But did you say it with the right accent 😆👍

[@2smokeHennerz]

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan yes I did lol

[@2smokeHennerz]

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan I am half Asian so that helps it lol

[@2smokeHennerz]

3:19 I think some kid has tried to custom it because those are aftermarket wheels mine is complety original and I don’t have those wheels

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

When I used to race slot cars they would never have had the original wheels, I would always have changed them for something with a better grip. But then, that would have been over 50 years ago 😁

[@2smokeHennerz]

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan nice I love racing my Mistu fact I’m just doing some tuneups and stuff to get her ripping

[@2smokeHennerz]

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan and at 2:34 it’s called braids because they are weaved to look like braids just to let you know it’s not called a steering peg it’s called a braid 👍

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

@@2smokeHennerz I am talking about the guide peg that is missing. I am pointing at the hole where the 'slot guide' should be. If the link does not get blocked by TH-cam, this image shows what is missing cloud10.todocoleccion.online/slot-cars-matchbox/tc/2019/08/20/12/174148102_154480657_tcimg_A7AF2D87.webp

[@2smokeHennerz]

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan I know what’s missing cause it was missing on mine but I’m sure it’s just called the braids but I might be wrong

[@lesgunzelling1430]

That seems like a very fast slot car. I'm sure you'll find that lots of fun with it. Nice video
