Thanks for the positive comments! These videos were made by a club founder and leadering racer who has been involved in slot cars since he was a teen (starting in Brazil). Ary Barbosa (Autorama) has experience including racing 1-24 flexi and piano wire cars (e.g. at “Z-Raceway” in Austin before it finally closed in 2004) plus extensive 1/32 RTR experience. He is a consistent podium winner and one of our excellent mentors. Other helpful videos and posts are made by another founder, Marty Muehlegger (Porshce-917) and our concours expert Russell Mill (Chap-65) and miniatures craftsman Marc Tyler (Datto).
Compared to some other slot-car tutorials, factors of the high quality of our videos include: — minimum hemming and hawing, — we get to the point instead of talking aimlessly as we wave the car or part around, — no overly produced or poorly matched music, — Fairly high quality camera work – the camera is stable, focused and contains the subject, — we don’t endlessly repeat instructions or easy to find best practices.
Please visit our Youtube channel for races (Six series with six rounds = 36 per year) and other tutorials. Please search this site is also filled with other hidden Gems of knowledge and opinion, and visit our Facebook page for helpful posts and pictures.
