Hi slotcar family. In 2019 I was with my grandpa in Tennessee on Worlds. In Pandemic time I have time to learn new things. I finally did this video. Have a great time see you soon. Jan Gotthardt
Lol man, the one dude with the Mad Max nightvision goggle looking things bopping his head... the dude who casually looks away at the thing that fell on the floor while still racing somehow...
high current. the motors pull~40 amps at start, cruise(full on) @ ~2 amps. 120,000+ rpm. this has been going on since the 70s actual 70mph+ ~mach2 @scale
I raced in the early '90's. My fastest time around a track like that was 2.4s. They were doing it at 1.65 which is insane. I think they were using glue in the corners.
After some practice it becomes easy like the car is a sixth sense. An extension of your body and mind. It also helps that drivers usually pick and stick with their favorite color car.
In scale speed, it would be faster than F1 cars, but yeah, it's not faster in reality. F1 cars aren't even the fastest in cornering. That title goes to F1 powerboats.
Just got into slot cars with my kids and this speed is insane. I love how at this caliber theyre barely even "cars" but more so just hunks of aerodynamic plastic on wheels, lmao. Very cool, though!
Faster than an F1 ONE CAR . well they go so fast l cant see the Little Buggers . At least l can see an F1 Car wizz by @ the Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 F1 GP 😅😅
I was thinking the same, cpt Kirk.. How on earth can they keep track of this? Unless it's all flatout it looks impossible to throttle control this. Insane fast.. And we are used to Warp and FTL, so we know what fast is. lol.
There was some tracks like this in southern Ontario. They all seemed to have come and gone. Would love to find a track. I still got all my cars, Ready to race!
Cars are ugly, the track is ugly, it is too fast to enjoy anything. Absolutely not my thing. I prefer by far slot cars looking like real ones and track looking more real with some landscape and decorations.
Pls, tell us: how fast is this? It's hard to guess on this scale, but it is UNSANE fast. Too much for myself to have fun, but impressive nevertheless. :)
Honestly the only real driving is on White, red purple and black, the other 4 lanes those guys were running flat out. And believe it or not, the ear is better than the eye at this level
