i tune scalectrix cars and other slot cars the fastest one i have build is an Astra DTM hitting speeds over 50 mph it has an brush less motor and has a full suspension with on board battery for an extra boost home made diff the normal plastic ones break and not strong enough to stay in place so i bought metal ones and a good magnet which is electric magnet you can turn it off and on and the magnet switch is controlled wireless with another controller
THE BEST ! ! ! ! i like the girl driver at 2:03 who goes after her car off the track while still holding onto the controller, and suddenly she springs back out of the picture
The certificate reads "The longest slot car track measured 2.75 miles (4,425 metres) and was built by James May (UK) and 300 volunteers at Brooklands, UK, on 16 August 2009 as part of the BBC series James May's Toy Stories made by Plum Pictures"
actually she didnt drop it, she almost did something much worse - ripped the track apart (or, best case, ripped the cord from the remote), as you can see she was "chained" by the remote which was connected to the track via some cable, lol dumb
James May got into the Guiness 2011 Records for this :D I got the book especially to see if he did or not :) Loved watching this :) I watched the Hornby record he tried to do on Christmas 2009 :D
This is truly amazing. I had tingles up my back when you'd see the onboard camera of the SLR show you the aston just slowly pull ahead like a real race! Or when the camera would be placed to the side a little, so it'd look down the track as the Aston or SLR would fly down at speed. Cannot get enough of this!
@legomoviem4ker His success with Top Gear meant he was able to make these documentaries over the past couple of years and they are an absolute pleasure to watch. I'm glad you guys get a chance to watch these.
lol that sort of reminds me of the top gear one germany vs england and them 2 racer drivers are racing then the stig in the aston comes round the last corner for the win xD
