"What's that you say Frank?"

Straight down to business this week, Neil had an update on his Carrera car that was deslotting at the hint of any pressure on the trigger. He had follow the advice received a couple of weeks ago on a chat and, voila, it had turned into a bit of a performer. But more to the point, Neil had experienced that moment when you tell a car who's the boss...and the car actually listens.

John showed us how he had incorporated the wonderful model house he gave us a tour round a couple of weeks ago. It looked great, the only down side being the anti-ram raid bollards erected round it to prevent it getting damaged by errant slot cars.

Greg showed us round his two nes cars, the increasingly popular Pioneer Legends. First off was the inevitable blue and yellow version, followed by the more radical yellow and blue version. Lots of tuning tips for those interested.

In response to a number of requests from viewers, Greg then gave us a quick run through of the features of the various digital racing systems on the market; what they are, what you need, what they add to the slotting experience. A great primer if you are looking to get into digital.

Dennis had nothing to show us...so that couldn't happen. Off he went to see what he could find...oh yeah, here's a Sideways M6, but with a brass chassis by Dennis. Not an obvious combination, but what the heck, it looked cool. Dennis than gave us a run down on the race afternoon he had rushed off to after last week's Chat. And prompted by a question from the floor, the Chat went into a run down of the different race classes clube run, which are the popular ones and which ones have historically never really caught on.

And to finish off, the Chat returned to the ever popular topic of tyre choice. With NSR bringing out the Evo version of their race tyres and immediately turning the remaining non-Evo stock into collectors items, and Slot.it ending F22 & N22 production, where should racers go to get their grip fix? Some suggestions, and one possible future classic!

Not quite the end though, what's that you say Frank...?
