I love fast cars, but these are too fast

Sensors in the track at the starting line. Its all computerized. Skip to the 3:15 mark or so and youll see a shot of it.
Not on those ones.... That's a wood track, group 27 motor class from what I can see..... Only thing holding them down is the bodies with the wings on them.
This is a group 27 1:24 car like they're racing, basically a wire frame with a big motor and tires...
When you see them in slow motion the wings flatten down and put downforce on the cars.... Then you need to figure out gearing, make sure you put some sticky glue on the rear tires and some braid juice on the front braids that pick up the electric signal....
The hardest part is making sure where you are on the track to make sure youre not on the outside of people in turns, they can goose the throttle more to get the ass end of their car to swing out even more and knock you off track.
That was the fun part of it knocking people off the track =)
Used to goto dj hot slots and jk raceway a lot..

how much is that, given that it does not look like a whole lotta stuff?
You can get one for around $100 I'm sure for the group 27, Group 12 like I used to have would be like $60'ish.... Those are new prices, I'm sure you can find used stuff much cheaper.
Then you can spend over $100 on the controller if I'm not mistaken... I always had a generic cheap controller.... They can get a little nuts with heat sinks and crap on them:
The problem is those guys are nuts and rewind their own motors and do all kinds of stuff to get every single ounce of speed out of them possible.
Everyone has soldering stations out so they can chance stuff, they prolly have dozens of sets of rear tires, new braid out the wazoo, etc...
drag race slot cars. mash throttle for .5 seconds, walk to end of track
i guess the fun has to be in building the car itself and the competitiveness of racing
Or build your own sweet track with a return road...

I still have my wing cars! Raced the full chassis guys then got into the fancy wire frame chassis cars. They did 70mph easy!
I spent lots of time at slot tracks when I was young... Way cheaper than real cars!
