Bibbster,

Awesome infomation! Thanks for sharing.

I love the organization of all those bodies and chassis.

Personally I would love to own at least one of the Racer cars, probably the Ferrari 330-P4. In my opinion that is the most beautiful race car ever built.

Of course for almost $200 in purchase price, everyone better stay clear. A nerf - intentional or not might just start a fight! :lol:

Neat site. I actually have the first car, the Momo Ferrari, SP 333 I think. Florida Slotter I run mine all the time. They're tougher than they look. I also have a Piper Ferrari 250LM, and a Fiat Abarth 500. They all run great. The Fiat runs surprisingly well for its size. :)

As you know, I've just received my first ever Racer. I didn't believe they could possibly be as gorgeous as everyone said... But they ARE.

And with Slot.it gubbins filling that gorgeous body... You just know it has to drive as good as it looks.

But, I need a batch of cars as photographic models, and so that is the job this one will fill. I can't publish a photo in a magazine of a battered and brutalized car, can I? Sure, some say it's a shame to buy a slot car for the shelf, but it's still doing it's job.

The Racer website will soon have the English version available.

Just loved this picture. Made me smile.

Always very cool to see how others do it. That pressure pot is HUGE!!! Now you know why they cost some cash - real people that lovingly build these great cars.

I'm feeling very insignificant now though...here's my assembly line to show how us little guys look:

Guess I better step up my game!
