Hi there! I'm Rob, saying hello from California! I'm hoping to find other enthusiasts in this area, maybe start a club or something...
I've been a huge fan of this hobby since I purchased my Ninco "DTM" racing set almost 15 years ago. Since then I've been gradually buying more cars and tracks. I don't have a lot of space in my home so I'm pretty much a "carpet racer"! I build a new track every few weeks, then have to tear it down after a few days of racing fun.
My track is all Ninco, and I've upgraded the stock power supplies to a proper regulated DC Lab grade power supply with adjustable voltage - love it! I still use the stock Ninco controllers, although I've opened them up and modified the springs a little bit for a "stiffer" trigger feeling. My cars are a variety of Ninco, Fly, Scalextric and most recently, Slot-It and Racer "Sidweways" (or whatever they're called.)
My favorite cars are the Scalextric LMPs - I have 4 different versions of the Lola MG LMP car - very nice for 4 lane racing to have 4 identical cars. I also love the Slot-It cars, they are by far the fastest of all the cars I have. The McLaren F1 GTR, the Nissan R390 and the Porsche 911 Evo are the 3 that I have. The Porsche is the only anglewinder that I have, and is definitely the fastest of all the cars I own.
Anyway, glad to be here and thank you for all the helpful stuff on this forum.
Regards
Rob
