When you get into slot car racing, there is a bit more than just throwing your car on the track and going nuts. There is some maintenance you need to do to make sure your cars are always running at their best. Tire cleaning, axel cleaning, and other little things. If you want to learn a good way to perform these tasks on your cars, watch this video.

Thank you.I like how you broke that car down and put it back together.
Thanks, I'll be referencing this video many times in the future.
Thanks for the tips! Im brand new at getting back into slots...after a 50 year hiatus or so....went all carrera for track and cars so far....first thing Ive been doing is putting quikslicks on the things. Stock tires slide and slide and spin and just dont wanna go anywhere.'...............................more track keeps showing up,and more cars. Too much fun!
Good video on maintenance much appreciated...watched a lot of your videos and they have been most helpful. And watch you fly the mimi aeroscout and we purchased from Horizon Hobby.....we haven't made our first flight yet but plan to soon. Again, many thanks
Some good tips Wes, as I said before I don’t have the space, but if I do get, would be great to race these cars 👍🏻
When putting metal screws in plastic, a good trick is to run the screw backwards first then forward to allow the screw to seat in the same threads as the original.
great man, Tks
Get yourself a small squeeze bottle with a fine hypodermic size brass tube protuding from the top to make oiling parts on your cars easier to do. Truing the front tyres will give you a smoother ride when running without magnets in the car.
Use a syringe for oiling the tires brass sleeves.
Thank you!
Your welcome ❤️
Thanks for your great video. Would you have an additional one explaining how to replace damaged lights on Carrera 132 Digital cars? Thank you so much!
Possibly in the future currently I don’t have any that are bad but in better news it’s really easy on Carrera. If you go to Carreraslots.com and find the replacement headlight for your car there actually plug and play no soldering or anything.
I would love to have a track myself and hopefully will get one soon. A lot of good memories of slot cars. Do you do any track maintenance? I think we used to use pencil erasers to clean the track contact rails back in the day. Lol.Thanks for the video.
Not on Carrera there stainless steel 😉pay for the quality
Did you get one Hal?
Hi thanks for the video. We run that same Porsche 911 RSR Proton #99 racing car (model 20030908) and it is literally twice as fast as anything else on the track. It spools up super quick and the max rpms are way higher than anything else. Out of 20 or so Carrera 132 digital cars we have this one is different so we are wondering if perhaps it has a different motor? We just got the new 911 RSR Proton Competition and put both cars side by side and coded to the same controller. The #99 runs more than twice as fast with the same throttle position as the new Proton. We observe the same effect with all other 132 cars in the collection. The #99 is crazy fast!!! Is there some setting to change the output? I can’t figure out why this one car is so much faster. Any insights you may have would be appreciated. Thx!
I have 3in1 silicone lubricant. Same thing right?
Hi
completely new to slot cars - bought a brand new Carrera 132 digital set for my son this Christmas, we have four cars and four wireless controllers. Any time we start racing we have an issue where the control unit seems to go into a frenzy - all lights flashing, cars come to a stop - very frustrating. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything, I’ve tried with only a couple of cars, all cars, etc - all possible combinations - but it still keeps happening.
As you can imagine not great when you have a 12yo kid that was extremely excited to begin with!
Main unit is definitely pointing the right direction, same with lane changing track parts.
When this happens the lights in the control unit seem to all go off, cycling through all lights for about 5 seconds, then lights in cars go back on and it lets you race again. Extremely annoying because it then seems to happen every few seconds. Hopefully something “easy” to sort?? All help much appreciated…
Hello enjoy your channel learned and help I need your advice I'm wondering how could I oil scalexric cars because every thing is plastic, so over time, would the wheels just come off,
I actually oil the plastic bushings on my scalextric cars also if you look on eBay there are oils with long spouts made just for slot cars 😉
Wes.... got my track built and we are having a blast! I baffled by the difference in performance between cars even though the speed settings are the same? I should have taken off the detail bits as you suggested because the kiddos have wrecked the wings. How do you know when to replace the brushes?
Keep the awesome videos coming!
The brushes last a long time you will know when the cars stop working but ide say something like 5000 laps
Funny you use this exact car. I just got my kids the triple power set for Christmas. I got confirmation with the lap timer this car, versus the the lambo and ferrari and a ford GT ‘dad got, is an absolute dog. Three tenths down per lap on a just under five second track. I’ve swapped chip in it, swapped the motor, swap the axle it just has no grunt. Set for low spd and i dont have to worry bout car breaking loose bc its so slow. The others start to when tires get hot and dirty. I’m trying to figure out what it might be admitting that I am new to this. I am solely relying on 25 some years of RC racing experience. -U10
Have you sanded the tires funny enough yes it accelerates slower but in my experience is way faster in the turns but sometimes cars are just different we have 4 of the same GTLM cars and they all drive different
@@MerryBoozerRC yes. Running cars on 10% for the kids. Sadly it needs 1 speed level up to get even close and prolly needs even 1 more nudge. Gonna gut it and swap all elecs soon to see. Thx. -U10
Thanks for the video, wouldn't alcohol dry out the ties ?
We use it every week on ours but we did change them over to quick slicks now
does this also work for 1:43 slot cars?
Hey love your content. I saw a poster on your wall of my car I had as a teenager. My dad bought it brand new in ‘72 and gave it to me when I turned 16 in 1980. ‘72 SS Nova. Where did you get that poster.?
I really can’t remember I’ve had it a long time. I actually have two novas also 1970 and a 1978 😉
@@MerryBoozerRC I kick my self daily for selling that car.
@@MerryBoozerRC on another note. I sure miss the days when you ride your bike down to the neighborhood slot car track. Freakin video games have ruined everything.lol
Where do you order your carrera stuff from?

The body doesn’t want to seem to come off, lol. I removed 4 screws, there doesn’t appear to be another screw somewhere, but it sure feels like something else is holding it, and I don’t want to force. Help! Update: I got it off.
What car is it some have more and some have less screws
@@MerryBoozerRC - Carrera 132 Ferrari #27. It was just sitting on the chassis tight, nothing really holding it back. First time taking one apart, I was a little hesitant but it came off. Now I know what to expect, and I would imagine it will be easier next time around. Appreciate your quick response!
I would like to buy your green and silver Porsche that is in the video, would you sell it? I am in the USA.
