Cyclone incoming!

[@davidwarr8600]

As a 76 year old I go way back to the very early days of slot car racing. In the 60’s slot car racing was huge. Every hobby shop carried all types of cars, sets and parts. Now you have to search on line and never really know what you are buying until it arrives. I do agree that the hobby is better than ever as far as the cars and sets are concerned but where are these hobbyists. I don’t know where they are. I am on my own and that isn’t much fun. You’re spot on with your editorial. I am also in the British sports car hobby and we are all old with very few young people. Our club seems to be holding on for the moment but I am afraid in ten years there may be no one left.

[@anthonybejarno4532]

Dave, nice video and commentary. I agree that we need more $7.99 good quality motors. I’m finding it fun to try small low cost tweaks on cars rather entertaining and tips from the KZbinrs out there is so helpful. Even though I have many digital cars I’m starting to get converted to analog, there’s just something appealing to the simplicity of a great quality analog cars like Revo, NSR, and others. I’m holding pretty firm to the digital world for those times I want to race a bunch of cars with my friends and family. As to why I would like a motor; I recently had my first motor go up in smoke on me so I actually need a new motor to replace one that went belly up. Thanks for all you do to promote the hobby, I look forward to your weekly videos.

[@frugtaylor648]

Thanks as always for the great reveiw! Your spot on with the importance of this particular motor! Love that this is availible for such a great price. LEB has always been one of my favorite suppliers for their patience with us customers with questions! 😂

[@Slotspeed-scale-racing]

Thanks for keeping us updated Dave. Also from my perspective our fantastic hobby is growing - indeed. We all should keep it fun. Have a great Sunday!

[@johnbassett3468]

Love to test it up against the ThunderSlot motor!

[@Doug-MagneticRacing_ThinkScalo]

Jenson B's FLY Porsche is a must!! Beautiful. Your correct on the editorial, a lot of people tho are far too serious and it puts others off joining the hobby. Lets just keep it fun (with serious notes lol) its an awesome hobby. Cheers for the news Dave

[@Dennis-rq6jf]

Thanks Dave, good rant.

[@donaldbarker1917]

Spread the motor love, my way Dave. So many future wanna be builds for me. Enjoy the community talks. 🏁

[@chrisfreter3629]

Thank you for another Friday Slot Car News! I like what you said about the new Cyclone motor. I went ahead and ordered a pair from LEB to give them a try. I needed a some slot car its and bits anyways, so I added them after watching your video. Again thanks and I hope the home treatments are going well for you.

[@lewismumby2040]

Hi Dave, I watched this back on Saturday. I definitely agree with you that things are not the same these days. I went to a swap meet in February and the average age of the people who attended I reckon was around 60 years old. I would put this down to the temporary set up tracks rather than having a dedicated space for them. I believe our hobby is niche and advancement in technology now means that children generally spend more time on their mobile phones rather than in the company of other humans so both technology and society issues exist. What great value those motors are! Who doesn’t want an $8 motor? I love the work all the slot car UTubers do and they are the true promoters of the hobby. Keep up the great work 👍🏻💕

[@Chris65018]

I am building my first scratch built slot car, so this would be a GREAT addition. Great video as always, Chris.

[@MarkRecktenwald-l9t]

Hi Dave. Love the weekly updates. Would like to try the cyclone motor in one of my custom artin slot cars. Thank you

[@macwhite22]

Hi Dave, I just ordered the TA71 Renault A110 and I've love to put one of those motors in it. Thanks Dave love the news!

[@richardwhitney3356]

Dave, I don't buy a lot of cars but when I do I tend to buy 2 of the same car in different liverys. That way I can race evenly against each other and I have a baseline car to test various tuneup ideas and methods against. Plus it saves on postage, or at least thats what i tell SWMBO. I'd love to have one of these motors for some side by side testing. But mostly I'd just like to get something with your autograph on it!

[@kidvolt]

We'd love to try a Cyclone. We live to test!

[@CoachK-Royals]

Have multiple sluggish cars that could updating. Love to try one of these motors to tryout! Great show Dave…

[@_Dave_S]

Great stuff Dave, thank you for the news! I would put one of those motors to good use, as I want to start making my own chassis, and it would go great with the first gen Firebird build I want to do. Cheers!

[@johnbassett3468]

Wish somebody would do a Scirocco in 1:32

[@keithfilkins2043]

Thanks Dave, that sounds like a perfect motor for my Jim Hall trans-am car!

[@ChrisSeekers]

Great stuff as usual Dave and thank you for your contribution to our hobby!

[@fredflint5645]

Thanks for keeping us updated. A lot of great cars are coming out. There are so many, it's hard to decide which ones to buy.

[@JerryKnight-v3c]

Building a monte carlo Fastback as a tribute to my old partner at work battling cancer . Would love to have one of those motors to swap out the stock one. Look forward to your weekly show .

[@johnsweet8508]

Excellent commentary, Dave. The slot car online community, however defined, has taken the lead on marketing, car tuning, track building, scenery, and the whole works. Let's face it...most of us probably make car buying decisions based on what you and others feature in your content.

[@consco3667]

For sure

[@scottyhp]

I’m brand new to the hobby. I have 5 cars (all 1/32). I love learning and I think it would be fun to do my first motor replace/install. So that’s my pitch 😂

[@Dafingers1]

Been a long day. Just getting caught up. Hope your doing well. Seen your post on fb. I v @ home.. hope it went well.. have a great weekend, Dave. Sorry i have been slacking...Cheers

[@JeffAmes-ir3iu]

I would like to try one in one of my Custom 3D chassis

[@michaelgutrhie6291]

Great show again Dave, would like to test one of the new Cyclone motor in at Tran AM car.

[@robertchapman7773]

I would love to get one before that SH in Oz. Just so I can be prepared to call him out Keep up the Great work Dave

[@vinmirarchi]

If I was fortunate enough to get a motor, I'd install it in my Revo 1995 Mazda Rx-7. I can dream.

[@stevenmantegani4313]

Thanks Dave! These Cyclone motors would be a good replacement in some of my club cars.

[@GST_Racing]

I would love to try one if they would fit in Carrera 1/32. I love their price point. I agree with you we need more like it!

[@charlesnavarra8574]

Dave, a cyclone motor be nice to have. At our race group we have box stock rules yet nobody seems to be box stock. They run motors for 24 hours, they grease up every moving bit, they trim chassis, they might even be zapping these c can motors. But some are just to freaking fast to be box stock. Even thought about hand out motors to attempt to be bix stock. Just a sad deal to be bix stock in an ENHANCED field of racers!

[@boykinater]

Great show Dave! 😁

[@robsylvia9593]

Dave, Always look forward to Friday. I run just Carrera and Slot it. I would like to put a Cyclone in a Slot It Mercedes Sauber C9. Thanks for the News! Rob

[@dominicmasi8328]

Those VW Scirocco's look great. I agree the Marcos is a hideous car. Of those tribute liveries in my opinion the STP is the best.

[@RevJimiBanks]

Hi Dave love your show! I would love to have a cyclone motor. I have a scalextric car that the motor has given up the ghost and I am unsure what to get as a replacement. Thanks for considering me!

[@richardlange9094]

Ok, I have never replaced a motor. So if I am lucky enough to get one I will attempt the motor change an a older car.

[@pistolpete651]

Would like to try the new motor in some of my 1/25th 2nd gen NASCAR scratch builds.

[@PeterLufrano]

Ooh! Dave I’d love to get my hands on one if the new motors! I’ve been building 1/25 scale models and converting them to slot cars, so I’ve been trying all sorts of different motors!

[@PorscheRacer61]

I would like one to compare it against others in it like the predators etc. Thanks for the opportunity to get one.

[@montymccoy5336]

more love needed now put me in on the cyclone 😊

[@lychanthropeusa]

Cause I have a MRRC Chap F and a printed Oliver chassis. That motor would be great in that car. 😃

[@stevenfaulkner2880]

Great show as always Dave. Would love to try out that motor in a slot it Ferrari 512M that I’m working on.

[@Offroadadventures111]

I'd love to try one of those cyclone motors out

[@markfoglesong5846]

I had a 1969 Mercury Cyclone as a teenager! I could use another !

[@mrnimbus730]

I was the 1992 Amature State Champion in 16d Flexi's. Did one season in pro and then the business went bust. Never got a real run in the pro's. As quick as it started, it ended.

[@clinttalbot9093]

Yikes- $7.99 - can't beat that with a stick!

[@LanceH-gt6oi]

I had a slot car set when I was a child. I'm 58 and I bought me a new one or just bought me a carrera because I never forgot the feeling that I got from that first set. I never forgot that and I'm glad I got another one now I don't know what took me so long.

[@Drummerboy67]

Thanks Dave 🏎️🏎️🏎️

[@CarlE.Dorsey]

I have a Riggen car that needs to come back to life, so I would welcome a new motor. You have hit the nail on the head with you commentary of the demise of the hobby. I am hoping that I can bring some interest where I live. I am hoping to get kids who are not involved in anything and hopefully slot car racing will fill a void!

[@montymccoy5336]

❤BLTN Ola Dave & all😊

[@AndrewBacon-kp8em]

I'm just getting the confidence to do scratch builds, I'd love to be considered for a motor please.

[@MarkRecktenwald-l9t]

I installed a cyclone motor in one of my Artin 1/32 cars and it runs much better

[@LanceH-gt6oi]

I'm waiting for some track coming to mail.And I just managed to add about 3 more square feet. I'm looking at almost 7 by seven area here

[@XA351GT]

If there are slot car ads on facebook I sure haven't seen many if any I can remember. I see ads for everything else , but not slot cars .

[@Ryan-bx5nk]

I would like to try that motor since the motor i bought for my 12 year slot it draws to much current, for the carrera track i race on at my local hobby shop.

[@consco3667]

Oh yes. Wife and I will be getting 2 of those scirrocos

[@CircuitSociety]

I'd like a motor because I've never swapped a motor and would love to do a video on it!

[@Taaaarail]

Dave you are obviously a fan/student of David Letterman!

[@SlotCarNewsOfficial]

he's a big influence yes LOL

[@DropDownRacing-jt3yn]

I’d like to try one of the cyclones if there are any left. Thanks

[@soccergoalkeepertech]

Dave I would love to receive one of these Cyclone motor to complete my build of a 1/24 Lamborghini Centenario. Thank you in advance😊

[@LanceH-gt6oi]

I just put my. Old A f x controller from the 70s inside of A RC remote control for a off-road. Buggy, and it's set right in there and close it back up. Let the trigger hanging out and I got me a big a** hand fitting controller now. Until I upgrade, s. I'm digging it. I've got that full size.You can even act like you're steering cause.You're not got the little steering wheel on there too but yeah I had e too small for my hand and I don't like tumb triggers
