Slot cars and economic crisis

In times of crisis, hobbies are one of the first things people usually stop and dedicate the money to more important things. It is the right thing to do, but then, what are you going to do with your free time, with those long winter afternoons? Then it is when you think you are smart and decide to buy a piece of junk because it is cheaper... Yes, you know, Carrera, SCX, Scalextric...they are not so cheap, you can´t spend much money, you need it for something else....WRONG ANSWER!!!! You are just sending your money thru the drain. It is time for bold moves, maybe you discover Compact or GO!!! are not just toys, maybe it is time to take bcak all the cars with small problems you kept apart some time ago, or to decide going all the DIY way... It is time to think and use what you have around to keep your hobby up and running and it would be even better if you could share your ideas with everybody else around, it is time for sharing...Xmas is coming!!!

SCX new track, original and digital compatible ...

As you already now, SCX used to have a different track for original and digital systems. This made things complicated if you wanted to evolve and improve from the old fashion way of playing to the amazing new one. That problem is completely solved now. SCX has developed a better track and made it compatible for original and digital. They have even made adaptors so you can still use your original tracks with the new one. This is the original information in www.scx.es (This is one more reason for buying SCX, one less for NINCO. One of NINCO advantages was its superior track quality and size, now, they are getting closer...do you think so?)

Best HO set for 2010

And here we are with the first set. In the favorite scale in the US, HO and of coursem it had to be from AFX Racing . This year my proposed set is this one: Super International Our Most Popular Set Gets Even Better! You'll notice the new look of the box, sure, but the big news is the cars. Four cool new bodies with new liveries – all mounted on our newest, fastest, best handling Mega-G chassis. No one can match the Mega-G for speed or fun. As for realism - just compare our Formula bodies to any other HO car, you'll see what we mean. All of this just adds to the already fantastic value. With 86 pieces of track you can make at least 18 different layouts in 4 lane configuration! Of course you can design your own layouts too. You’ve got everything you need to build almost any kind of track in 2 or 4 lanes – all in one box.
