With today's super cars made realistic af, YES! My grandparents got me a TCR set for Christmas '79 & '80. I was 11 & 12 back then and spent hours playing with my TCR set. I just bought a NOS set for my grandson. I'm looking forward to playing with it. I had a TCR accessory I've never seen here on TH-cam or EBay, the "Speed boost module". It replaced the section where the power and controllers plugged in. It's top was clear plastic so you could see the electronics inside it. My old man made me toss out all my tracks when we moved. He was a d*ck. Cheers from America!
cool, brings back happy memories from the early 80s. my dad made a chipboard base & set it up in the sunporch and extended tracks and tonnes of cars, i even had smokey and the bandit with a juggernaut at one point. i used to love the electric burnout smell and the headlamps with the lights out.
wow! Ive never seen a TCR track this size, let alone the cars being this fast! apparently this gentlemen purchased alot of TCR sets along with every accessory made when TCR first came on the scene and based on this video alot of modification was probably done. THIS IS AWESOME DUDE!! YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN A SPOKES MODEL FOR TYCO ETC......AND SHOWED ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF TCR!!!.....WITH THIS SAID MAYBE TYCO WOULD STILL BE IN BUSINESS. GREAT JOB AWESOME TRACK AND VIDEO.....DAMN!
This has got to be the finest example of TCR ever made!! I myself have TCR and it's a phenomenal system that is easily hacked, easy to mod and works very well. If you want racing sound, you can wire an AFX or Tyco stadium that has racing sound at the bottom of the track. As for cleaning, 90% rubbing alcohol and a clean rag will clean it, also for the cars pickup shoes, a pencil eraser and rubbing alcohol.
Hey Deathstrike, I too, after 35 years have bought TCR again. Missed the fun ! Try waxing your pieces of track with Carnauba... Turtle Wax. I could not believe the improvement !
Takes me back to being a ten year old I think in 1981 and playing on my own much smaller TCR setup. My cars had illuminated headlamps but my track did not have side barriers, so the cars flew off the track constantly.
I had TCR as a kid. I remember it having 3 levels and when it got to the highest level it became more like a ramp and launched the cars into the shelves. Great fun. I remember having a yellow datsun which was the fastest and a porsche that may have been bought afterwards. Did other manufacturers make cars for the tracks as I remember it being much slower and noisier than the datsun Z28?
The video is awesome. I love how it starts! Music stops, starts with an explosion as sparks shoots out and the music starts. Epic. TCR was a dream toy when I was little. Thundershift 500 was as far as we got.
My brother got it for Xmas one year. We loved it but maintaining the cars was a pain and in hindsight it didn’t require skill like scaelextrix does . Still loved it though
my brother got this set and brand new it never worked. Cars were always disconnecting from the power track and if you were on the inside lane on a turn you'd just go strait into the outside rail. We were young and not knowing much, but it should at least go around the track once!
How did you get the tracks to work consistently? Most tracks have issues with the cars connecting and running consistently. It's the one major problem or gripe people have with this set. I remember when it came out. I had TYCO/AFX sets, lots of them so my parents said nope when I asked for TCR. Plus I had some Sizzlers track sets. "Free lane" racing always seemed like it would be so cool. Seeing this, you definitely achieved that!
this was better then scale electric by a long way loved it endless fun not endless cars leaving the track lol i notice 1 car missing, the stock car that travel in opposite direction ??
No entiendo cómo dejaron de hacer éste tipo de Scalextric porque molaba mucho más que el de la marca original,mucho más divertido,yo aún conservo el mío que tiene más de 30 años.
Wow awesome video great work the looks great & car's look fast i still got my TCR lots of track just needs some car's have you got any for sale mate 🏁🏁
Great video, you guys have a bad ass track. I have a question for you, my track does this thing where my cars drive an inch and then stop and when I click the wheel to lane change it sends my cars flying backwards. If you have any thoughts on what it might be please email me back
That track set up is SICK! they should totally bring TCR back!

TCR- The finest track set the world has ever seen!

TCR era outro nível. Adorava as progragandas na tv. Sempre bem elaboradas!!! Parabéns!!!
Eu tive dois!!! Melhor época da minha vida!!!
SO MANY hours spent with my TCR racing and the "jam" car. Loved it! Such good times. I had the Nova and 57 Chevy.

I miss my TCR!
I can even remember what it smelled like!
Nice setup!
You mean the electric smell from a nice warm driven tcr motor?
Loved playing with my dad’s TCR set back in the day! Still have it in the loft.
Loved my TCR sets as a kid, had the Porche vs Corvette set and the Dukes of Hazard one.

AWESOME. Thank you for the memories.
Very cool! Once I played with my TCR set, I couldn't go back to slot car racing
I’d like to see how they powered the complete track. I have a similar size set up that I cut I. Half because of power distribution issues.

Could this be the largest and best running TCR track in the universe?
I SAW ONE WITH A NICE NASCAR AND COUNTRY COMBO LANDSCAPES
What did you use to power all this track...the original power pack was surely not powerfull enough..?
Pista incrível!!!

hola desde españa,buenisimo video.
