Slot cars are meant to be driven, so yes, open up that AFX! Besides, you could always get another to leave in the blister pack lol. Cheers for all the info Travis!
Hi Travis, it may be to late to ask but: Could you add a 1:43 track to the shed ? An "adult " track. No loops or x cross (to damage cars). A larger layout (maybe 1.5 m x 4 m). Or L shape. With limited space I think 1:43 is an overlooked option. For ME HO is not an option. I think it's like watching a marble rolling in a slot. No real driving feedback (rear slide). You know you've gone to fast when your car/marble is all ready off the track. I know you like HO so this is probably not the best way to make a request. I'm just being honest. I think 1:43 may be a way to expand the hobby. You can have the feel of an expansive layout in the same space an a small 1:32 or 1:24.
''AFX (also known as Racemasters) has signed on to develop a collection of licensed Alfa Romeo F1-inspired slot car toys. Set to launch in late 2023, the toys included in the AFX collection will be sold at retaulers worldwide as both a full slot racing set and as individual items''
On the SlotIt Mercedes isn't the name on it for the racer starting with Schu....? Yes open up the AFX F1 and lets see it run! As usual good to see you keeping us up to date 🏁

We think a like mate, I'm hoping to get some 1/43 track from Carrera so I can also represent that scale
I'm a big fan of 1/43
