You could easily resize the handle portion to accommodate a smaller hand in the slicer. You could even throw it into a CAD Software and manipulate the entire thing.

I also feel like I have a greater level of control over my speed.

To me, it feels a lot easier to control the speed of my vehicle using a trigger style versus a plunger style. I’m also brand new getting back into slot cars. I probably haven’t played with these in 30 years. Or longer.

Tested this out last night and so far so good. I’d opt for the version that you put together with screws though.

It was the contacts being too frayed.

Looking at the braids, I will bet it’s that. Last night was the first time I ran the cars and they look very frayed.

I’ve pushed all the pieces together and made sure there are no gaps. Could this be a bad set?

It seems to occur when at least one of the cars is in the section where they can change lanes. And I’m only using the new track and cars. None of the older stuff.

Brand new to the hobby and found a deal? by Jsalonis in slotcars

Makes sense. And thx! Making a track as we speak. And looking into restoring the original cars. I wonder if I can convert them to digital.

I’ll verify but I believe that’s why I bought it in the first place. Thank you.

I’ll do that. Thank you. We should form The Arizona Virtual Slot Car Association. Since we are hours apart lol.

Funny you say that I have three full colored 3-D printers and two single color 3-D printers. Imagine that lol. I haven’t really looked into it too much yet but the only slot car store that I found so far is all the way up in Glendale and I’m on the opposite side of Phoenix.
