I imagine this is popular for the Nascar "I watch it for the crashes" fan. I do wish there was a button to launch both at the same time. I can imagine, as a child, that some fights were started over "You pushed it early!" But otherwise, a very nice looking set
I am a little curious what went into the selection process for your racers here. I remember you saying in the first video that you had quite a collection, what made these ones stand out? Design? Time period? Or are they just more photogenic?
TheKyrix82 Time period played a part. I wanted to try cars of all ages and makes. The stock cars from the 80s came with the set so they were a given. The rest are just some of my favorite cars from their era and who doesn't love a Corvette race lol.
I don't believe that I own that set. It was great seeing your 80's cars and Redlines racing too!
RaceGrooves Thanks for the kind words. I found this set on EBay and had to get the cars separately. It's actually a set I remembered having as a kid.
Fun retro set!
Woah that’s a dream set right there
BWHW1977 This is one of my favorites. I picked it up on EBay for $25. You can find others on there for reasonable prices.
MatchWheels Diecast I have never bought on ebay
MatchWheels Diecast I think I might have once years ago.... but I rarelydo
How do we replace the rubber bands??? I’ve got it apart and can’t figure it out
I haven't quite figured that out yet. I would say you could replace it with a regular rubber band of similar size or a rubber O ring.
meh......lotus turbine aint worth much....its the custom redlines that demand the dough
