Topic: Revell Slot Car Track - FREE! - GONE! (8 replies, posted in For Sale or Trade)
OK, I've made up my mind it's time to let this track go. I have always felt the old Revell track was some of the best quality track you could get. So I have never sold any of the Revell track I acquired over the years. Well now I have come to the realization I just have way more than I will EVER use! I have not set up any of this track in the last 30 years, and I no longer have the space to store it. So I am offering it up to anyone interested. Yes that's right, FREE!
I have over 250 straight sections, and around 100 of each curve radius Revell made. I also have multiple set ups of the wide banked curve and the transition straights. The are also many inside and outside curve and straight aprons. With the aprons the Revell track is also suitable for 1/24 cars. The track pieces need cleaning but all are in good useable condition. Revell track does not break easily! It was a high quality product and one of the best tracks you could buy in the 60's!
Hit me up if you're interested. I'll fill your truck!

Re: Monte's Garage - Big Cars (11 replies, posted in Cars)
When I first started racing with the PASER guys I was using "vintage" 1/24 parts. I had a BUNCH of those green axles. Thinking they were obviously an advantage, being lighter and non-magnetic, I went through quite a few of them before I realized they were NOT the hot ticket!!! Some of us learn more slowly than others.......

Re: Monte's Garage - Big Cars (11 replies, posted in Cars)
All nice cars Monte! Personally I'd like to start racing more of these cars!
P.S. be careful with those "green" axles.......they're aluminum and bend very easily!......Don't ask me how I know........

Hey Zack, I've really been struggling with finding time for building cars while I'm in up to my eyeballs with trying to get my shop squared away, moving our daughter, taking care of other family stuff, and peddling slot cars. Are you open to the idea of "trades" for that car? Like maybe 3 new cars for it?

Fantastic racing last night at Al's Rippin' Ridin' Raceway! Although I only stuck around for one race I had a great time! I was totally unprepared to race but Zack loaned me his F1 Polycar and controller to compete in the F1 race. I gotta say Zack is the man to beat in this class! His car handles beautifully! Nice job Zack and thanks for lending me your equipment!
The racing in the F1 class was extremely close, except for Zack killing us for the win! Here's the results from the night of racing:

Hi DC,
Sorry about the delayed response. Diane and I were away for a spur of the moment road trip and just got back this evening. I have the track cleared off and it is operational. Friday the 26th would probably work. Just give me a call if you want to stop by! ======Bill

I'll echo what Stan said, it was a great time at Al's last night! The other part of his post that caught my attention was "Zack Speed". How appropriate!
I'm gonna try something a little different for posting the results this morning. Mostly because i'm old and lazy!

The best way to get ahold of Mike is through an instant message on Facebook.
If you search for Mike Lombardi on Facebook he'll pop up. He is the Nike guy.
Mike's a great guy! I told him you were interested Zack.

Then there is the Scalextric D type. Several of us has fooled around with these cars, I'm not sure if anyone has had much success with one. I've made this one smooth but it just suffers badly in high speed turns. It's a good looking car though.

This is Fly's 250GTO It's wheels have a 5mm rib on the front wheels and a 6mm rib on the rear. This severely reduces tire choices that look right with the car. It also has independent front axles that are very wobbly.
