Got the chance to get my hands on a new slot car set as a trade. Qustion is, wots best? Ninco, Scaletrix (digital?), Carrera, Fly????

Or do I get me a radio controlled car instead?

I have a new customer who runs a model shop

Get a nitro rc truck...loadsa fun...if you have somewhere to run one. 45mph+

Of the slot cars I still think scalectrix are the best, you can get car kits for them that are very fast.

Hey mate - don't knock it, I finally found somebody that's wants to swap Bears for something with a motor (even if it is a very small one!!)

And don't tell me you won't want a go

Scalextric is by far the best, the bikes have great detail but hard to keep on the track!!!

Scalextric make the best track IMO but the best cars are made by fly and ninco. Recently, scalextric cars have improved...

I've had it for about 30 years now and my kids bug the hell out of me to play it! They love it!!!

Soooon!! Maybe I should get another two controllers and another couple of cars, and we can run them all at the same time
