Wow, that brought back memories. late 1950s into the early 1960s spent hours and hours racing with my neighbor Tim in his living room. Slot cars, the track looks the same. Tim has now had a stroke and it's hard to talk with him, but the memories still live in my head. Thanks for sharing with a 74 yr. old guy who knows the fun in a slot car race.

I loved those as a kid, all that has survived from them over all the years are the motors though. My set was incomplete, rusty, the magnets were dead and sometimes it smelled like shorted circuits, but it was still great fun.

Slot car racing is still extremely popular in some places.

The concept and the execution of this project were just incredible. So so cool.

What a wicked project I can only imagine how fun that must have been! It reminds me of that on game micro machines where you used to race miniature cars around worktops and desktops avoiding obstacles like glue that'd slow you down and across gaps using rulers as makeshift bridges. Thanks for the flashback to my childhood and goes to show that you're never too old to have fun and play with toys 😁 wicked video as always 👍 Thanks.

My last racing I was in grade 11, 1978....I am 61 and also have my old slot stuff in a box somewhere....I really really want to find that box! My carcass is older but my mind is still just a kid. - Cheers

I can't wait until my son is old enough for slot cars. One of my best childhood memories is racing my dad on Christmas morning.

This is awesome! Someone should definitely sell DIY kits that allow anyone to do this conversion.

I used to have a ton of these as a kid, probably what got me into RC!

Driving under an actual Mini was such a cool touch.

It was already exciting when you talked about this, but I didn't expect it to be such a neck and neck race. Just awesome!

It's unreal fun. First I thought you did it for your kids, but then I saw two adult guys playing. I think your kids in future will be happy to have such dads. Keep doing this! You are cool!!!

I launched countless slots cars into obstacles as a child. Actually, now that I think about it, these cars were one of the first things I ever managed to break, disassemble, and eventually learn to fix. My set had track that went up the wall, and I think I put a few dents in the ceiling. I always wanted to experience it in FPV, thanks for this video!

In my youth 60 years ago, guys made their own track. I had Minic cars and a railroad crossing, beat the train.

This was so much fun! I loved racing these as a kid. Nice to see Matt making an appearance, also - great video!

I’m shocked how good the mini radio camera quality is!

wow, just amazing. i used to have a scalextic set fro when i was a kid, through to the 90,s. i remember my dad always going to the model shop to buy new sets of brushes for the cars. And constantly fiddling with the metal track parts to get it all working.But when it all worked, it was amazing.

That is the most amazing use of miniature technology I have in long time. I grew up in the days of huge indoor slot car tracks. Serious hobbyists spent fortunes on their slot cars. Once a week there would be very competitive racing. Putting mini cams on top of cars is brilliant. VR goggles is also brilliant. Seen it done racing drones, never seen it done with slot cars. Job well done mate.

This was a really cool idea and looked like a lot of fun! I could see this being a thing at arcades and other gaming places, especially with more lanes and cool worlds to drive around in!

Really fun video! You guys have fun chemistry together and Id love to see more collabs from you two! Perhaps a plane collab or something?

LOVE IT !!! Two guys I follow regularly (love the weird, whacky, and often highly polished/professional DIY projects that Mat @ DIYPerks creates) and ProjectAir crazy land/air/water speed ideas... But this? GOOD OLD FASHIONED FUN with a modern twist!! Brilliant!!! 👌👏 😎🇬🇧

Haven't seen anything more fun than this besides fpv flying

This may not be my favorite video you've done. But it's near the top. It's always great to see someone accomplish something I've always wanted to do.

I would love to see you guys attach some rc cars to a sim racing wheel and pedals and try to go around this track like that!

That was so fun to watch. I can’t imagine how fun it was to race. Not to mention to build that awesome circuit! Great job!

This is the first video I have ever watched with an in-video sponsored ad where I was interested in researching/buying the product. Lord Teebob sounds good to me!

Can we talk about Matt instantly replacing his car on that jump crash at the end?? That shii ain't easy with goggles on!

Fantastic work, James! Really well done!!! 😃 Great race both of you! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Always thought these were lame when I was a kid (Well there were RC cars in the 90's so...) This takes it to another level!

YES Please!!!! Re-match with a spiral and a loop in the track. Had a Scalextric track about 34 years ago .. what a joy this was to watch!!!!

That looks like so much fun and I put a FPV camera on my rc car yesterday and explored the house with it and this reminds me of that.

Yea I think the dude meant FPV on VR goggles, FPV is on another level of fun, if you want to kick it up a notch look into HD FPV 🍻😄

We used to spray furniture polish on certain parts of the track to make it more interesting

Awesome idea .. And Super Awesome to watch from the car view camera .. Well Done !!!

The set we used to have had track pieces for doing loops and all sorts of other crazy track designs, would love to see a part 2 using some of those!

Looks like a blast! If you do another it'd be cool to see if you could take advantage of the ability to run vertical. I'm not sure they'd run if the track was flat to the wall but running horizontally, but if they did it'd be cool to do a "quarter loop" up onto the wall, drive up the wall, do a 90 degree turn, some straight, another 90 degree turn and then drive straight back down the wall. Also a sort of mirror maze that hides a sharp last second turn could be interesting as well as something like the tinywhoop light tunnels that flighttest has.

Matt then turned the whole track into a brass and wood laptop. Good work fellas!

Ha, ha!...Boy was that fun! (I'm an oldster,...at 68 years old),.....and I used love playing with my slot cars,..in the USA in the early 1960s until 1969. Back then the cars were simpler and we did't have that magnetic, feature. The tracks looked the same. People had small tracks in their parents houses, but we also had public tracks to go to. Public tracks were sponsored by large department stores, with toy departments, where the slot cars were sold. A few hobby stores, also sponsored public tracks,....on all the tracks I ran on, we had to pay by the hour,....and for a kid, it could get costly. I had slot cars in two scales. I preferred the 1/24 inch scaled size. Me and my pals had so much fun with this hobby,....we built our cars from kits and parts swapped with other kids cars. We sometimes fabricated parts, from metal & plastic stock materials. I belonged to a slot car club, in it we ran the smaller scaled cars, and used our plastic scale models for the bodies. It was fun to be a "spotter" at those large public tracks, where there were 10 or more tracks. We ran and saved cars that got stuck along the way or ones that got bumped off the track. Thanks guys! It was a trip down memory lane, for me. Cool!

I've been putting off doing a micro FPV plane...no longer, this looks like way too much fun, awesome project!

That was really enjoyable to watch. Probably already exists, but a TV programme series where people have to build a different course each week and then race their cars with FPV.

You need to add a rocket motor in the car for an extra boost! The idea of putting this online would definitely be interesting too.

Very cool! The long track and camera makes it so much more fun!

I love seeing your guys great sportsmanship! Keep on rocking 😎🤟

That 90 degree hill climb is hilarious 😂😂

What power was the TX? That seems to have pretty good reception for such a small unit. I've never had such success with cheap units from Banggood.

Pretty cool. To avoid the sharp bends at joints you can make custom track pieces. Gently warm a piece and bend it carefully.

Brilliant! When I play racing video games I always run with the "in-car" view. You have done this with slot cars. This concept is very intriguing and entertaining. Great job!

Very cool and those slot cars brought back some great memories! Thanks for making this video.

Great formula and fun it seems. 55 and still excited watching. Thanks guys.

I was not expecting that much exercise to be involved. Highly entertaining!

That was a Hoot!!! I played with slot cars in my youth and had many many hours of enjoyment! Having the FPV system would've been awesome! Great video guys!

I have a permanent 1/64th scale and 1/32nd scale track and grew up racing 1/24th scale. Needless to say I love slot cars. This looks like so much fun. I'm definitely doing this.

Excellent video, idea, and execution! I enjoyed this very much!

This brings back memories of slot cars when I was a kid. This would be so much fun.

I would absolutely watch this as a competitive sport. It looks so like so much fun!

You guys look like you had a ball with this. I love how you went into the testing and construction. Great video.

This gives me masive flashbacks to the old scalextric episode of James May's Toy stories! Loved that episode so I of course enjoyed this video very much!

Hey I grew up in the 80s where racing sets we're the best thing to find under the Christmas tree.. Thanks for the awesome memories... the race was super cool 😎 😁😁😁

This is so cool, what James May did at Brooklands a decade or so ago, has been eclipsed by a much smaller, yet more thought out idea! Nice sporting pair of lads, Competitive yest sporting.

Cool vid man seemed like great fun. How about going for a land speed record and modifying them for a drag race?

Being a 80s kid I always got slot car set up for Christmas every year. They were alot of fun. I actually think I still have them all packed away in boxes in the attic. Watching this video makes me wanna go find them.

This is honestly so awesome! Excellent work! 🙌🏻✌🏼

Better than any Scalextric set i had in the 70s 80s , Brilliant to watch , Big thumbs up .

You are a complete unadulterated genius to come up with this idea if only I had something like this when I played with my Aurora AFX and Tyco tracks it would have been awesome I think you should patent this idea make it where the video is admitting through the windshield and Revitalize slot tracks I would buy more than one I think kids would get back into this Hobby. Thanks for sharing this with all of us it made my day.
