Thanks to Alan at the ScaleRacing Center in Tacoma, Wa for this sneak preview of upcoming RevoSlot releases...

Here are a few of the cars that will be released in the next few months...

   

The two IGOL Ferrari F40s - plus the twin pack - are expected late August / early September.

   

A brand new mould - the McLaren F1 GTR - will appear in two liveries at the end of September / beginning of October.

And two new Porsche 911 GT2 liveries are due in November...

Hopefully someone can do a better job than me of linking to it but for the first time ever, according to the circuit owners, the Silverstone Classic will be live streamed for the full three days of the event:

It's chucking it down!

I am really looking forward to this batch of bodies   Arriving next week. Printed . Will take huge cleaning and sanding but hey it is the only way to get them. I also have a few arriving from the states but do not have any pics yet.

This is a very loose and small version of a permanent Scalextric Sport track that I will build to mimic the great Japanese Suzuka track.

The permanent track will be about 4 times longer than this mini version, in the mini version I could just about tell you where Degner 1 is and Spoon along with the bridge section, after the bridge the track has a bit of a Laguna Seca corkscrew on to the start finish straight.

One reason that I built this track was to test Sport World on a different track to the one that I have done a lot of SW proving tests upon.

There is a YouTube video below, not a bad race with 20 year old cars bought off of Ebay

Final race result as in the You Tube video.

   

The control tower is one that we have repaired. All the MOSFET's and 3A3 chips have been replaced.

A good bit of fun.

Here is my track, it is  named Kempston Park as I live in Kempston, Bedfordshire, a play on a horse racing track with a similar name. It ws built with 4 lanes but I rarely have that many racing so I have decided to remove the inside lane to allow more room for scenery.

As my first step towards scenery I have bought the Magneticracing Reims multi pack:

The track is very much a work in progress. I was motivated to get the race management system installed when I agreed to host a proxy race as part of a series organised by Colin at http://www.rsslotracing.com I used race coordinator https://www.racecoordinator.net

The shed that houses the track is 12' x24' and lives at the bottom of my garden.

Cheers,

John

2020 Builds

    The "East Devon Slot Racing Club,
 Which meets Friday evenings at the Awliscombe Parish Hall, Awliscombe, Honiton, Devon, EX14 3PJ
Plan to resume our racing meetings from the 6th August. Some of the members set up the track last Friday for a bit of testing of the equipment after its long period of disuse. A few minor repairs are now being made, and the club will be meeting again this Friday for a bit more testing, with a return to regular racing the following week.
The doors open at 7 o'clock and we start the racing at 8 o'clock.
Any questions about the club please Email: daves.winters-lane@hotmail.co.uk

WASP 3D printed figures and trackside accessories are excellent and normally sold on eBay. MCslots are now a distributor of the range and  they sell on eBay as well. There is no price difference between the two there.

If you want to save some money then forget eBay and go to Mcslots website direct.  LINK 

All items are cheaper there. Figures are £5.40 instead of £6 and the other stuff is cheaper as well. UK postage is still included and service levels appear good. I have just bought a phone box for £6.30 instead of £7 on eBay which only took a couple of days to arrive. If you are buying several items then the savings really add up.
