My grandpa bought me a slot car set when I was maybe 10. 12 years have passed. He's been gone for 4 years now and I just was in happy lobby with my girlfriend and I got a track and we both got 2 different cars. We both spent 3 hours playing with them and now I have a new love for this hobby and I feel alot better about life knowing my grandpa is the reason I even stopped my girlfriends craft supplies trip to look at the set and ended up buying it. Honestly the most fun I have had in a long time. I just wanted to share
Beautiful story. I’m sure your grandpa is smiling down on you and your girlfriend. I got my first set in the 60’s for Christmas and have been enjoying the hobby ever since. It’s funny whenever my wife and I go to hobby lobby I sneak off the racing section to see what’s new. She always knows where to find me! By the way eBay has a lot of slot cars and accessories too. Enjoyed your story. Keep on racing !
Thanks to share this vid. I am an old HO entusiast since the mid 60s when my father gave to me a four lane Aurora slot car kit. I still have a color picture with this event on Christmas. Good memories. Greetings from Brasil.
Have a big 1/32 analog NINCO set that has grown over the 25 years..Waitng for my first HO set Autoworld figure 8 to come .My last set was in 1975 Christmas present when i was 10 years old.Will set it up inside my larger 1/32 floor set
Cool Video! I bought the Scooby-Doo/Batman Set last year, mostly for the Blue Cartoon Batmobile. There is a problem with the Front of the Box. It says the Mystery Machine is a Flamethrower & has lights on it, but it didn't have lights. But both cars are 4 Gears cause of the Loop, Extraction Cars are the Only Flamethrowers. I called both PTT & AW to let them know. AW just Shrudded me off! I might put a Led Light in it later on.
I started with a Aurora set for Christmas in 68, i stayed in the hobby thru high school, and left it behind when I went in the military, i got into 1/32 scale a few years ago but i am longing for a HO set to race on for something different, it will be AFX for sure I don't care for the look of the AW cars, plus I want to get some of the old can-am from my youth
Thats the same story to Slot Car glory I hear all the time, me included. Welcome to Slot Valley Racing. If there is something you need or are not sure of before you buy please let me know. I also have a Ebay store AFX_man
When I came back to the hobby a few years ago it surprised me how little everything changed from when I was a kid. No track improvements since the 1960s. LOve the racing action!
Nice track's I would think for benners!don't have room for victory 400, , real sweet car's. I run a 1971 JACKIE STEWART. HIGH SPEED TRACK! DIFFERANT POWER SUPPLY, AND DIFERANT CONTROLLER S ADJUSTABLE POWER! NEW KID ON THE BLOCK! THUMS UP AND SUBSCRIBER! EAGLE RACEWAY !
Have purchased a half dozen AFX Super International sets over the years. When they were Super G+ and then original Mega G. Those were a real bargain. But now that it's Mega G+ I wouldn't buy one at all. The sheer amount of stuff you get is tempting but when you think about it, it really isn't great. On the positive side you get 2 nice power packs, lots of 15 inch straights and a few larger radius curves. On the negative you get 4 junk controllers that only work properly with Mega G+ cars, 28 pieces of 6 inch radius 1/8 circle curves that are problematic, guardrails that are probably the least desirable of all that are available and of course 4 Mega G+ cars. I keep hearing people say the cars alone are worth the price of the set. Sure in fantasy land. There's a ton of those on the "market" and the brand new cars are barely worth $30 apiece. Just because someone has them for sale at a higher price or someone who didn't know better paid more just doesn't mean much. So as much as I don't like saying it, I think a beginner would be better off with one of the 4 lane sets from Autoworld and preferably from a local retailer so if there's a problem they can likely get it taken care of pretty easily. Likewise one could buy from a REPUTABLE online dealer like ProTinker Toys or RC Superstore. It just seems clear to me going the MG+ route is a mistake, especially for beginners.

Unfortunately this is why I tell all new HO people to buy AFX

The AutoWorld wireless controller s will be a major problem when the batteries stop recharging. There is currently no way to replace them

There's always something to be said about Both major manufactures.
Few good points there!
Thanks Jeff
I have the 4:08, 5:04, 5:18, 6:28, and 6:41 sets.
Which one is the best value for money?
Figure 8 tracks suck the big 1
Skip this video.
Well thanks for watching!
I guess if your opinion mattered I'd have you on my show... LOL And It seems you are not listed as a guest!
