G'day Harry, good to see you catering for all, beginners is what the hobby needs more of cheers

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Hi .appreciate you watching and commenting 👍 These will be a great budget car .I'm hoping that might attract some potential racers . I won't go any smaller than this ...I couldn't see Ho cars 😅

[@66Slotter]

[@DTSlotRacing]

they make the track look ginormous lol. good little review of them good cars Harry

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thanks Daniel, yes but I really enjoyed and I didn't expect to 🤔😁 so I've a few more on the way 🤗

[@IrrerasCarrera]

Magnets hide the sins😂😂 That they do. Good idea with the tac for weights. Never thought of that. Great video Harry. Congrats on the new wheels🎉

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Hi Joe 👋 yes we used to use tac for weight 40 years ago . This car needed serious tyre tuning but it was still fun (with the magnet )🫢

[@DavidHarvey-m2e]

Hi Harry, I love the garage track, mate . Didn't know you kept the house track. Soon, you will have more tracks than That slot car guy😂 .mate loving the content great stuff. 👍 PS, love the hat 👒

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Hi David..nobody could have more tracks than Travis 😅 thanks about the content mate ,I'm trying to mix it up much as possible 🤗

[@mikeevans9546]

Nice track, has a Monza feel .

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thank you very much 😊 Sorry for the slow reply but I only noticed your comment now 🫢 Really appreciate you watching and commenting 🤗...Harry

[@AnthonyBatemanSr]

You’re welcome, Harry. I hope you get some done pretty soon. I bought some Track yesterday and that stuff yesterday. It’s so expensive and I’ve been visiting with relatives so I haven’t been down there. Man cave.

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Yes it can get expensive with buying the different curves and extra straights and borders(shoulders)are a big additional item to . Have fun with relatives 🤗

[@SewfastSpeedway]

This past week I’ve bought two 1:43 GO sets(used) and had one donated to me. Like you I intend to run them on my regular Carrera track. But for fun I setup the Go track only to try the loop. The magnetic down force plays a big part in being able to get around the loop. Will be passing on the track to someone else but I now have eight Go cars for having fun with. Your track looks fantastic and I think that your neighbour’s should be flocking over to race in the Latvian Super Speedway 🏆

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

It would be amazing if I could find some racers 😊 im surprised how well it ran and I will definitely get a few more 143 cars .thanks for watching mate 🤗

[@shermaddictedtorc8540]

thanks Harry will be ordering some 143 cars

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

That's great 👍Ii hope you enjoy them, I'll be reviewing the SCX 143 cars too in the future. They get good reports 😊

[@ted.slotcardaddy]

Crocodile Dundee😂😂😂, great stuff Harry 🎉🎉🎉

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

😂🤣thanks Ted 👍 "that's not a knife "🤭🤣

[@Bluepanther80]

Love my 1/43. Got an upgraded/ custom go track with power supply and better controller station. Copper taped rails to run HO on as well

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

@Bluepanther80 sounds cool ....I'm thinking of buying a Carrera go track for a portable demo circuit . I could ring the 132 minis on it + the Ho 🤗thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@droneon29]

Evening Harry, thats a nippy little car, and I get what you mean about how cars like that are perfect for us learners, I remember flying off at every corner back in my youth, looks like loads of fun ......colin 😀

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thanks Colin.yes I think this style will be perfect for beginners and well within budget too .I had four beginners racing last week and they did surprisingly well with the bigger 132 cars. Thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍

[@BSslotcars]

Thanks for the shout out! The 1/43 is a nice size slot car. what voltage you running 14.8? The 1/43 work so well and grip to our policar track surface so good we run 16.1v and probably can go even higher. The cars don't bottom out on our track we actually true all there tires also but I did notice some of those DTM cars like you have the magnet is real close other ones are not that low in the car. They do run much better with just a little tire truing just to get some of the out of roundness off you don't need to go crazy making sure all the rubber hits perfectly to the track and hey work much better. Your going to like the F1 cars those are really nice! Happy slotting!

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Cheers Steve ,I have a couple of F1s on the way . Yes that car had almost zero ground clearance. But it was fixable....those tryes definitely need trueing . Some day ile maybe buy a machine for doing it .at the moment I just use some wet n dry paper .appreciate you commenting mate 🤗

[@CK4RC]

Cool car and good run!

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thank you ...they are quite good for small models 👌

[@markphillips5368]

Remove the magnet and replace with a small amount of lead weight. This will help with the sticking issue and the car will slide out around the curves.

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Hi 🤗I might play around with it a bit more later Mark . These will be for beginners so I'm keeping them as simple to race as possible 😁

[@_Dave_S]

Great vid Harry! I've got several of the GO cars. I tried one without the magnet, but it was terrible, even on my Policar track, so I just leave the magnets in these lol. I wish someone made aftermarket tires to try for these, then they might do okay without the magnet and weight added. But these are just cheap little cars, so they are fine the way they are to me, still very fun. Cheers!

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

I agree totally Dave ...I will leave the magnets in and just enjoy them as they are 🤗 but they are fun little cars 👍

[@AnthonyBatemanSr]

You have a nice section of car, bro. I don’t know if I’ll get any career go it’s nice to see you. Enjoy them.👍🏽👍🏽

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thanks, Anthony. They suit as budget racers, so in my area ,that could be a big plus, hopefully . Stay safe Anthony 😊

[@AnthonyBatemanSr]

You’re welcome Harry🎉

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thanks Anthony 🤗

[@SwiftSlots]

Try the SCX 1:43, they have a proper guide 🙂

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Hi Rob 😊I have already ordered some Scx compact cars . I have already noticed that they get good reviews for build quality 🤗

[@Nodramaslots]

I was just wondering this the other day. So glad you made this video.

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

That's cool that you were thinking about them ,I have ordered some more in 143 scale to do a comparison with the Carrera go cars .Thanks for watching 🤗

[@AnthonyBatemanSr]

So maybe tonight, Harry I can get something done or show what I purchase. Have a great night bro looking forward to your new stuff you put on your channel.

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Always enjoy seeing what you are up too Anthony 😊

[@sonykroket]

Excellent

Thank you Harry “ I appreciate it Bro!

[@milohajek]

Hello Harry, great shirt 👍

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Thank you ...anything to promote the idea around my local area is a plus I hope 🤗

[@Nodramaslots]

I’m looking to get some 1/43 rally cars. With magnets 🤣

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Take the plunge mate .you will like them 😊

[@mattiapresti7295]

I read that Ninco 1/32 is the most similar track to Polistil 1/32 , does somebody found that Ninco's 1/43 fit well on their 1/32 track? Or, the best, has somebody already tried on Polistil?

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

@mattiapresti7295 to be honest I don't know anyone who runs on Polistil track . But I would recommend Steve at BS slotcars because he is very knowledgeable on a lot of this stull . I haven't bought Ninco cars in years mate but did love then in the past . Check out Steve's channel and I guarantee if you ask he will reply .Appreciate you watching and commenting 🙂...Harry

[@Lews_SlotCarTesting]

Interesting video! As you know we have fun racing Carrera Go 1/43 slot cars on our 1/24 scale Carrera track like yours. I do have one F1 Carrera Go 1/43 scale Slot Car the number 5 red F1 RayBan Shell that has substantially smaller diameter tires than the other Carrera Go 1/43 scale Slot Car the number 14 BWT blue and pink F1 car. The red #5 does hang occasionally and my friends convinced me the tire diameter is what the problem is as there is no visible rubbing in that area you filed down on your Audi. The BWT F1 is a brilliant runner with no problems. But neither match the generic Ali Express F1 that is my fastest car ever that cost less than 10.00usa delivered. It was also pointed out to me that the high torque motors in these Carrera Go cars need the magnets. So if you want to run that Audi with no magnets then get a lower torque motor for it now that you shaved that underside down a bit no larger diameter tires should be needed. Yes 4 F1s would be something to behold! Glad you are getting into the 1/43 scale and you might be surprised with the HO slot cars as we are as they work great on the same track!🏁

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

I really enjoyed the 143, and after shaving that bit from the magnet mount, it runs great with no more sticking . I have ordered 2 F1 cars ,one from Carrera and one from SCX ,they should be here next week so I'm interested to see how they run before committing to which brand I prefer 🤗 1/43 will definitely have a place in the collection but I won't get any Ho scale as I was never a fan . But I'm happy I now have 3 different scales that can be run on the track 🙂Appreciate you watching and commenting mate 🤗

[@slotvalleyracing]

Sand the bump on the car is a good idea!

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

Hi Dan 👋 yes it certainly helped a lot and I'm really pleased with how it ran ...ile be getting a few more plus some SCX compact 143 😁

[@mattiapresti7295]

After this video, I definitively choosen that ASAP I'll do a trip to the toy shop and buy directly a pair of Carrera Go cars to bring back to life my Polistil 1/32 toy track, thoose cars shouldn't be less compatible than any cheap other 1/32, as I won't spend 120€ for two cars for a track saved from trashing. Polistil is even less powerful, about half the power of an average 15V track, so, I won't have skidding problems

[@SCALE_SLOTCARS_AND_RC]

@mattiapresti7295 yes the carrera go and scx cars are really budget friendly. I would recommend the carrera before the scx but some prefer the scx cars .I appreciate you watching 🤗...Harry
