| Welcome to our how-to section! This and several other slot car tutorials, tips and technical articles can be found on our forums. Please use the following link to add comments or discuss this material: https://austinslotcarclub.com/forums/topic/slot-it-car-tuning-tutorial/. |
The objective of this tutorial is to show how to prepare a Slot.it car for racing, specifically for the Austin Slot Car Club Slot.it Challenge.
The seven videos, made in 2012, followed the series rules of the same year. Although rules may change with time, they normally describe or limit the parts that can be used on the slot car, not the techniques used to prepare it. As you make your way through the videos, please take time to understand what is being done and why; when you are done, you should be able to prepare any slot car for racing.
