Please be advised that all electric slot car track rails oxidize. Even newly manufactured electric slot car track rails oxidize. That is why many manufacturers include a small piece of sandpaper in most sets to periodically rub oxidation from track rails. This is required regular maintenance and most likely will need to be done prior to using the track for the first time. Instead of using sand paper, we recommend unplugging the power pack and rubbing a Quarter Coin on the track rails as a better way to remove track rail oxidation. CAUTION: Slot Car Racing and collecting is an adult hobby and does not offer the same experience as new high tech toys and video games. Slot Car Racing is a hobby requiring mechanical skills and dexterity for driving.
This hobby will require almost as much time in track and car maintenance as in actual racing. For those who know and love this hobby, this is part of the FUN of HO-SLOT-CARS. However, with adult supervision, the My First ScaleXtric Race Sets can be a great introduction to the world of electric slot car racing.
What should I consider before ordering? There are two basic categories of HO Slot Cars: Modern Magnet Cars and Vintage T-Jet Style Cars. Modern'magnet' cars have'magnet' downforce and will run very fast right out of the packaging.
Vintage Style NOS (New-Old-Stock) Aurora T-Jet 500 cars will require regular maintenance including tuning, cleaning, and oiling just like they did back in the day. AURORA's classic'Pancake' TJet chassis design from the 1960's is the preferred choice of racing clubs and vintage slot car enthusiasts. Slot Car Racing is an adult hobby and does not offer the same experience as new high tech toys and video games. There are adult racing clubs all over the country dedicated to racing both Vintage Style and Modern Magnet Style slot cars.
