Getting In The Groove With Slot Cars

Before I became involved with radio controlled vehicles, my first scale model love was slot cars. If you thought slot cars were merely toys for children, think again. Just like RC vehicles, there are both the toy variety and the hobby variety of slot cars. Sure, RCs can do neat tricks, pop wheelies, and jump hills -- but if your main interest is speed and precision driving, then slot cars are a great RC-related hobby.
