These guys just, (October 2011) moved to the Plymouth Meeting Mall! They are gonna get Soooo much more traffic now! Won't just be the little old local hobby store anymore. I expect way more races along with way more customers. Check this place out! It is great for hobbyists and kids alike! I've spent Waaayyy too much money there! LOL!

[Jigsaw3477]

Come up the Northeast Extension and check out Trains and Lane's Tracks......

[RaceKing62]

ah, main line hobbies. that's the place I go to for my slot car racing. I live not too far away from there, and I love the racing there. the cars, the tracks, everything. in fact, I was just there today. I was racing my Scalextric Audi R10 TDI on a set up I've never run on before. They put the two main circuit in the shop together. IT WAS AMAZING! for any slot car fan around Philadelphia, go to main line hobbies. you won't be disappointed. :D

[blacjazzz]

@RaceKing62

Man I've run there three times already and I love the tracks! The ninco track in particular, non mag ninco classics is just pure addiction. Everything I run from slot.its to nsr's and scaley's is non mag and those tracks are just a joy to run. Great bunch of guys there too!

[RaceKing62]

@blacjazzz you got that right. I actually went there just today, and got a new Renault F1 car (scalextric), and had some fun with the new track configuration they have. great place, and great guys there too. love Main Line Hobbies! :)

[Legometallica09]

6 lanes!!!

[IMnotmeen]

i had one of these sets when i was 5, played it 1 day then i left it at the trash, god thats boring... i got an RC car right after because you can actually control their path etc

[sportsman12317]

so did i one time i went on a loop to fast it flew in ther air then did a backfilp and landed pefectly

[nascarnhis24]

2:02 - that's a wild ride!

[SyvetheShairks]

What's with the wavy gravy drag track?

[Steve7132gmaildotcom]

This Hobby Is so much fun....You have to use a controller to control your speed. So making turns require precision throttling.

[ethorii]

Virgins of all ages....UNITE!

[XxtictacfreshxX]

hahaha

[7s7d7]

ye you think WoW is cool

[winged70bbody2]

all because you can't do it...:( *tear*

[chunk123123]

whats the deal with these is there some skill and do the cars differ in speed, do you control the cars or do you just press a button and watch?

[fabulo19]

no it isn´nt. the cars are actually realy hard to conroll. even if they turns automaticly

[straight2da50]

yes there is a lot of skill involved and requires killer reaction time to let off in the turns and jump on the throttle as quick as possible

[stuntkid1214]

it is not his it at main line hobbies in pensilvainia

[garrettschenfield12]

where is that

[mblandingt]

Awsome video!!! and cool track!!!

[Plisken1986]

This is sweet. So epic.

[jumpking101]

where did u get da track???? i want a 1/24 scale track with cars

[rangersfan80]

i have a scx 1:32 analog track it is not digital is yours digital?

[json8tr]

Cool video, I like the drag strip but you guys ned to take out the magnets or shim'em. way too stuck! I know a lot like to do it that way but more fun to DRIVE the car then zip around like an HO.(my opinion only)

[2nerfnerds]

i totally agree! an HO doesnt even need to ease up on speed, so where is the fun?

[Sawman33rt]

very cool

[bobbied3]

Isnt that the theme from Hard Truck 2?

[noggles17]

good stuff non magnet racing rules tho

[swans2k7]

[AJAProductions]

[itbi73s]

[okrabay]

1/32 scale is the future of slot cars.

[sotnas93]

[olesw]

[guysmalley]

Great hobby, I am showing my age but back in the days globe motors were the ticket. what are the better motors now?

[1everafter]

[whiterabbitzz]

[AJAProductions]

if u guys think these are fun wich they are i wad into them as a little kid but now i moved to rc it is alot more fun!!!!!

[dirthound25]

more hard plastic shit

[CyDaSnake]

Nice track and cars. I liked your use of Hard Truck 2 music if thats where it from. Good job on the Herbie slot car too. 5\5.

[asymondo4]

it depends whether they have magnatraction where the motor is how heavy it is and if it has lights or not.

That answered your question adam32191

[Corollaboi]

I use to put oil on the track and make then do burn outs...

I also use to rub steel wool on the track. My slot cars didn't last very long. =-( I know why now.

[Adam32191]

wat would make a car go faster than others i dotn get ti wouldnt they all the relatively the same if each has the same voltage or wat ever

[RACErocker]

nah it depends on the rpm level of the motor, that and how grippy the tires are, usually if u rub minerla spirits on the tires it helps it stick better

[Adam32191]

o ok spirits like alchol lol ok thanks i was trying to figure out how

[SuPeRcAr250]

You can buy stronger motor's, better gripping tires, lighter bodies and a whole lot more stuff to make it faster.

[spader699]

well if you had a fat monster truck it might topple over at a high speed around corners but if you had a low down car then it could stay on the track at high speeds

[camster4]

i remember when i used to do that back in the day.. my slot car literally fell to pieces.. i went around this tight corner and the body, all 4 wheels and the little engine came out of it.. i was like :|... .... damit, and then i gave it up

[MaxHusky]
