Slot car racing sets are available in two different formats, analog and digital. Each slot car’s chassis has wire braids that contact the strips, creating a circuit that delivers electrical power to the slot car motor. Metal strips in the slot car track carry the current throughout the course. Slot cars are powered by AC household electric current sent through a transformer to lower the voltage. The larger sizes rival high-quality die cast cars for scale detail. Slots cars are available in many body styles, including sports cars, street cars, and LMP (LeMans prototype). Larger, higher priced 1/32 and 1/24 scale sizes offer more realism for serious slot car fans. HO scale is the smallest and most popular, because the track can be set up easily in a limited space. The variety found in slot car racing offers something for everyone, from young children to serious racing enthusiasts. The challenge for each driver is to negotiate curves and obstacles as fast as possible without spinning off the track. The car is steered automatically by a guide pin on its chassis that fits into the slot in the track.Ĭompeting slot cars run in parallel slots on the track. Its driver controls speed using a hand-held controller wired to the track. Thank you.A slot car is a motorized miniature vehicle that races on a slotted track.
