basement slot car drifting

Posted by John on October 2, 2008

in the dark corners of an old basement, nick and i drift slot cars. they are 1:32 scale carrera slot cars, and they are a bit difficult to drift (not like the cars that can turn 360 degrees, ot like the easy drifting 1:43 scale ones. these are bigger and harder to drift, and they fall off often). the song is the tetris theme, korbeiniki, by ozma.

    looks like your still running magnets - take them out! it feels much more realistic and you cann drift much better. and when u wana race jus slot them back in!
    also, for CRAZY drifts put some tape over the tyres, its like running on ice lol
    also sprinkle some baby powder on the track where ur gona drift for smoke effects!

    This is really nice to see that slot cars are stil cool with todays young people. I grew up with slot cars and I own the very exact race set that these guys have. It is the Carrera Evolution featuring the Plymouth Superbird and the Plymouth Roadrunner stockers from the early 70’s. Ole Dan Gurney.
