    I built these wheel stander cars a few years back just for fun. They're not fast but fun to watch. WHEELIE SLOT CAR 00003.jpg WHEELIE SLOT CAR 00004.jpg

    These can be slammed but need a portion of the rear window removed for rear gear clearance on the top gear plate... IMG_20210208_154243.jpg
    A portion of the deck lid also needs to be cut.... I only wish I had a spare body to mess with... :(:rolleyes:

    There used to be a track right in my town, which kinda made sense with the NASCAR and indy races here. Lots of race fans around town in the summers. It closed up shop tho.

    I'd love to have a large scale track. My ho will have to do, just because I can't justify losing that much space, and I already have way too many hobbies. My wife would kill me. I just started playing banjo and that's already got her at a tipping point. Our bedroom looks like there's an orchestra spending the night at our house, instruments everywhere.... Lol
