    I understand that “it’s a thing”. I’m not into it at all but I own slot cars myself. I had 1/32 ones in the 80s, my uncle had them in the 60s. You’re missing my point.

    In any scene, scale or real, race cars and show cars are usually two different things because one sucks at the other. Litterally always. A lot of the stuff I’m seeing here isn’t meant to ever leave the track once because it will for sure be destroyed. Typically competitive RC or actual Motorsport isn’t based around things that are suicidally fragile. Racing stuff is made to be raced and can typically handle going off or even rolling over with small setback. Lewis Hamilton isn’t actually wearing that huge watch. It’s a graphic on his glove.

    I’m very into scale 1/24 auto and other models and have been all my life. I understand the appeal of crazy detail. I don’t understand crazy detail…motorized. It’s like playing catch with a $100 Xmas ornament when you could just use a ball thats easier to catch and resists dropping more.


    My 1/24 autos are pretty. My 1/10 RC and 1/32 Mini4WD are ugly because they are made to crash 100 times rather than…litterally once and then just be a chassis and a million parts all over the basement floor.

    Maybe I’m over thinking it. Maybe you guys just putz around like shriners in the pretty cars and have ugly beat to f bodies on the actual racers.

        I think the Mods are having a lot of fun with this thread 🤣. Makes me proud to be an MCB member!

      Give HO some serious consideration, since the tracks take up less space I think it is easier to experiment with different layouts and designs.

        1/64 if want to be able to change it or put it away.
        1/32or 1/24 if you have the space to dedicate to something permanent.

          I ordered six of these from my local guy. I’ll be giving most of them away.

          I can’t wait to see how shiny I can make it…

            It’s difficult to choose. HO is just so much glorious nostalgia. But the 124-132 Carrera track sets look so good, and is more hobby-level IMO. The track especially has better quality. But I might have to get both man. (And within the 1:24 & 1:32 world, I found that consensus around the Carrera track sets is that it’s superior to Scalextrix). But you got these hobby level european brands like Carrera and Ninco that are putting out some really nice stuff that’s a step above the toy level HO sets from APX and Auto World.

            The HO cars are way cheaper too so that was another pro I was considering in favor of HO. But I don’t like how fast the APX “G Plus” cars are — they’re way too fast and unrealistic. In fact, I think that the stock Carrera 124/132 move way more realistically. I would be interested in getting a variable amp to slow them down — not speed em up. Since this is for the kids and me — no actual competition will take place.

            edit: I am also noticing that there are more
            cars in 1:32. There are more companies making them. Maybe for HO if you really want variety you have to get custom.
