Same here, Indycals makes great stuff and lets a guy build lots of colorful cars. Beside the 1/24 cars I have been casting and building, I am just finishing some re-paints and decalling of the 1/24 Eldon Indy cars. They came out great and I'll put some pix up in a day or two. Those Eldon cars are really overlooked. A little small for 1/24, but not badly detailed cars at all.

The decals really are great- crisp, opaque, and they give you enough time to position them properly before adhering to the model. You have to trim them because the decal sheets are not pre-cut, but that's no real issue. He's got decals for other cars too, and was really helpful in creating a sheet of just striping so that I could adapt the Indy Interscope decals for use on this 1/24 Ferrari:

Unfortunately you can't see him too good in this shot, but that's a Shotgun Dave driver figure in there behind the wheel. Thanks, Dave!

I finished one Novi and have a second one partially decalled. If you find an easy way to put those red pinstripe decals on, let me know! I think it might be easier to just draw them on with a fine point sharpie!

Thanks for the heads up guys! I have never used their decals - but after seeing those examples - I am definitely going to have to check them out!

Has anyone tried Indycals tire decals on a slot car?

Neat.
I wish someone made decals to match the stock tires on slot cars. It's hard putting PGTs on something like a Carrera DTM and losing the Hankook sidewall lettering.
Then again, the manufacturers could use urethane from the start....

Before I started casting the Monogram Lotus and AMT Watson, I had thought to cast the Eldon 1/24 Indy cars. Thjankfully I didn't cast them but the better, more scale other cars. I thought the Eldon cars could be finished a lot better then most of their products and here are a couple I refinished and used Indycals on.

Cars have either scratchbuilt chassis or Dynamic inline.

Indycals ROCK!
You've probably seen this before but here's a F5000 Lola I built using his Boraxo decals:
