    Thank you so much for this video . I was second guessing myself that I invested in the wrong brand . I choose Carrerra but I find I like the Scaletric car offerings over the Carrerra selections . So , I very much appreciate what you showed regarding the conversion. Any tips on how to improve the contact connections ? My brushes seem to have many dead spots around the track . Also , keeping the track clean ? Any help would be appreciated, Any suggested links to KZread posts . Thanks !

    @markmed9091 I clean the track with a swifter and then I have the Carrera track cleaning truck that I dampen the cloth on and drive it around. I have a video on how I clean the track I made a while back, before I bought the truck.. as for the braids I clean them with wd40

    Nice list. Just picked up the RSR recently and it is a great car. Along with a McLaren, Mercedes AMG, and an Audi R8 on the way today. Those 917's really destroyed the Can-Am racing of the 70's. I've got two topless 917's and the 917k from the same era. Including 3 McClarens and two Lolo T222's. The Lola T222's are some of the sexiest road machines, only beaten out by the Maseratis' that Carrera released in 2007-2008. Unfortunately I passed up on one and now they're up about 150 dollars. Got to love this hobby though. All these incredible licenced vehicles are amazing. This year I'm concentrating on GT3 and DTM. I go through spurts every few years. And yes, I definitely have a Chevy Bel Air along with the Plymouth Fury ( Christine ? ) in stock colors. The change to digital was fantastic and a game changer. The ability to have children race without them flying off the track is amazing. I use the speed settings all the time actually. Keeps the cars at a little more realistic speed for scale and also protects the cars.

    If you buy the Autorehnnbahnplaner software, it will give you the ability to design the track and have it fit properly, using 1/3rd and 1/4 straights if they are needed. The software is designed for all of the Carrera track systems and is a brilliant piece of software in my opinion.

    Hi "Garage of Slotcars", track-wise, what set(s)/box(es) did you use to build your 54~56 foot layout? I mean, what do I need to buy (component list) to build such a layout aside from the cars? Thank you for taking the time and effort to "(re-)educate" an older generation and to initiate a younger generation to genuine vintage "wholesome" hobbies we (elders) grew up with (slot cars, train sets, construction sets, ...). May Peace be with you, Ciao, L

    The set i started with, they don't sell anymore. Any Carrera 1/32 digital set will have everything you need to get started. Then you can add the pit lane, and Bluetooth adapter for the app and more track pieces as you go. I started small and grew the layout little by little
