Great list this year Harry. I must say I agree with you on all of them that I have used. I must say I agree whole heartedly with the choice of Carrera and the C7R Corvette.

Excellent products; excellent choices for awards.

Here's a hearty "congratulations" to "The Team" at Changing Gearz, whose products have really delivered the results for me this year.

Well done to all.

Congratulations everyone!!

Thanks Harry and congrats to the folks that we share this list with. This is an interesting time in slots I think. With the rise of folks like CG Slots, Paul Gage, Dave's excellent resins, and of course my friends at Quick Slicks... yes the best silicone tires on the market... it's a great time for slotters where we have a great range from the larger slot companies to the niche manufacturers making perfectly developed products that help satisfy the range of needs of slot racers HERE in North America again.

I've said in another thread that we appreciate folks supporting Carrera by buying our products. And yes... even having sharp criticism of our products, yes it does make us work harder to make products that better represent what you want. Really.. it does. I'm not able to say what we're making next year but trust me guys, it WILL be a year that I think will have something for everyone if you're a fan of Carrera. If you're not a fan of Carrera, I really do think we will earn your business.
Thanks from me and our president Ed, and the whole Carrera team.

You're right Dave.

Hopefully, getting the Legends out in early 2016 will get you beat.

Maybe.

You have to hand it to Carrera :text-bravo:
There was a time about 10-15 years ago, they weren't as popular as Fly, Scalextric, Slot.It, Ninco or SCX back then.
Scalextrix and Slot.It are still making some great cars, but Carrera has really improved their product tremendously, and kept their prices reasonable while doing so. I don't have their latest Corvette, but the latest one I've bought (the Stihl liveried Mercedes DTM) ran really smooth straight from the box. All I've done is put PG tires on the rear, and it keeps up with other cars that I've upgraded with Slot.It parts. Well done Carrera!
Having said that, I personally don't like that you have to buy a digital version if you want lights. I also don't care for their current guide system. Just seems really bulky and more complex than it needs to be. But do like the fact they include a spare blade for other brands of track. As I said, they are doing a really good job, just not perfect (yet) :D

I've spoken with Matt of CG Slotcars and seen some of his prototypes. They weren't perfect, but each one showed improvements which led into making ones that could be sold to customers. I got a sense of the amount of work it takes to take an idea and bring it to reality where customers could have it. I can't imagine the work it took to bring the Chaparral to life, but it shows he's willing to do what it takes to make a great product. :auto-checkeredflag:

I've been involved with the CBD line of wheels, so I've seen what it takes to make these awesome wheels. I've also seen the dedication and effort that it takes. The guys behind these are truly dedicated to making the best wheels out there. The same dedication and effort also goes into making the Quick Slick line of tires. They've accomplished a lot in a short time. Well done to CBD, SCC, SCCC and Cloverleaf!! :auto-checkeredflag:

Paul Gage... Yep, great tires, great service, and great guy to talk to. And understands what his customers want. :auto-checkeredflag:

The Piranha motor... Simply just an awesome all around motor at a great price. :auto-checkeredflag:

Other notables I feel deserve being mentioned are Racer with their Group 5 line up, NSR for continuing on after the loss of one of the founders and Scalextric for re-releasing their early TA cars and also the vintage F1 cars. :auto-checkeredflag:

[Quick Slicks]

First, we would like to congratulate all award recipients - well done!

Next, we'd like to thank Harry for all of the hard work making Home Racing World such a special place. We'd also like to thank the HRW members for their support helping us to launch the Quick Slicks brand of high-performance silicone tires. Demand for Quick Slicks has exceeded our wildest expectations - we can't thank our customers enough.

We've got some exciting new Quick Slicks products in the pipeline - look for announcements throughout 2016.

As always, we welcome feedback and suggestions.
