Featuring videos on a variety of hobbies including slot cars, RC cars and trucks, RC airplanes, and more.
We have a large Carrera Digital 132/124 slot car track that is used in many videos to demonstrate such things as slot car reviews, slot car club racing, slot car and track maintenance, track design tips, and so forth. Much of the information in videos cross brands and scales thus sometimes can apply to Scalextric, Policar, Ninco, both analog and digital, and even HO scale like AFX and Tyco.
We also have a backyard RC track where we run 1/10 scale off-road RC vehicles, predominantly Team Associated SC10 short course trucks, and buggies like the RC10 B5, B6, and RB10 and the occasional Traxxas Slash or Bandit. The RC videos feature backyard track creation and maintenance, plus product reviews, and RC club racing.

DIY Slot Car Track Supports – Quick, Easy, and Cheap
Quickly make track supports to elevate sections of your Carrera, Scalextric, Policar, Ninco, GO!, AFX, or Tyco slot car track.
Using simple dimension lumber from your local home improvement store you can make dozens of track supports quickly and easily for very little money, and practically no money if you have scrap lumber already. The size of the wood to use depends on which slot car track you have. 2x10 is a good size for Carrera’s 1:24 scale track. 2x8 is the ideal size for 1:32 scale tracks such as Ninco, Policar, and Scalextric, and 2x4 lumber is ideal for HO scale track like AFX and Tyco.
For more realism on your slot car track, embellish the track supports with patterned shelf paper for a stone look, or print graphics, such as a concrete wall with graffiti and apply to the supports for a downtown urban look.

One of the frequently asked questions the channel receives is "what is the size of the table your Carrera Digital 124/132 slot car track is on?” Because the table is configured in an irregular shape, it is a difficult question to answer in a UA-cam comment reply. Therefore, a visual description is more appropriate.The slot car “table” is actually a collection of modular tables and table extensi...
A Tree Fell on Our RC Track

Our backyard RC track is branching out (so to speak) and not in a good way. A very large and very dead tree fell down on our RC track. No worries, though.

Unfortunately, the tree did nothing to smooth out the track. It is just as rough and bu...

Just got mine yesterday, and sure enough the shocks were exactly how you explained 😂 after a quick top off and toe and camber adjustment it was ripping perfectly for a beginner like me
What if there a wreck in/near the tunnel how are you gonna get the cars?
Great unit, pity you don’t post to UK
Great and helpful information!
Nice video. Good information. I have a 3D printer, but haven't figured out how to do my own design work, so for now, I'm limited to using other's designs, like this one. About all I've done is scaled things up or down to make them slightly bigger, or smaller, like track trestles. I will watch for more of your videos with 3D printing. Thanks for this one and all the other videos you do!
How long before sound is added just like on model railroad DCC engines?
You guy seem like you know how to have some harmless old time fun and a little construction and carpentry to go with it good for you guys enjoy
Where are you guys located at looks like a lot of fun man you guys look Cool say Cool 😎👍 man
Great video. Really appreciate the info. Thinking about jumping into this hobby feet first. 😆
To be honest I’m glad the tyres are so close, it helps with the fact that I have many cars some with stock tires and if I replace them they will still be competitive with the other cars in the same way witch I prefer thanks for sharing 🏁👍🏻
This fact also helps in our racing club. People aren't forced to change tires to remain competitive just because one or two other guys have changed to urethane.
Very very interesting. I just started getting cars last July. I hope their tires last forever but they wont. 😢 But for now it seems just truing the ones they came with gives about your best performance on carrera track you can get. Which is what i care about right now. Maybe other tracks would yield different results...
Thanks for this video! It was very helpful. It does sound like that eventually, if I want to keep playing with my Carrera cars, I will need to replace the tires, but just not right away. I hope to find your video on truing tires with sandpaper - I missed the link when it went by, and will look for videos on how to replace tires, that I hope you made, for when the time comes. Hopefully a long time from now. 🙂
If you haven't found it already, here's a link to the video on truing tires: ua-cam.com/video/qbJuwGGWkZU/v-deo.html
@johnniehobby Thanks. I watched it. Second time. Still very helpful. 🙂
My skateboard has urethane, and they slide, worse wet. Just a casual observation and a lot of blood loss.
Are you in a strip club talking about slot car😂😂😂
What about Carrara Go track
Nevermind. Stupid question (once I took a closer look at the track and watched your video.)
Switch to charcoal like a man and your troubles are half over .
Are you in Michigan ? Just wondering if anyone in this state likes what I do .
This must be popular since I'm having no luck finding a Pro X pit lane. Can the chip from a single Pro X lane change be used the same way ? Anyone done it ? I can find those pretty cheap.
Yes. You can use the decoder from the Pro-X lane changer and install it in the D132 pit entry. In terms of function, it will work however it may not be a perfect fit into the pit entry track piece. You may need to secure it with something other than the factory mounting locations, maybe hot glue or packing tape.
Hey Johnnie. Thanks for posting this video. I bought a Carrera DTM set back in August (because I had a feeling they would all be gone by October 1st) and set it up Christmas morning.
How do you like it?
Really good idea
Have you done a 2003 vintage car? I’ve got 7 of them and don’t have room to set up a 4 lane analog track.
Im looking to get into Carerra tracks and want to eventially build a large track with all the goodies . Qurstion I have is would it be possible to run more than one pit stop in order to extend the pit row , and if so, is there any real advantage to do so?
Little Billy & Susie got aced! You guys...lmao. Seriously, what a great job. Thanks for sharing this labor of hobby love.
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment.
What is the best height for the tables
Our table is 32-1/2 inches high. For comparison, kitchen countertops are about 36 inches from the floor and a dining table is approximately 30 inches.
You talk to much
Hi my club I’m A NYC run with both magnets out with silicone tires we run 1/24 and 1/32. Both mags out. turn voltage down on 1/32 to 12 v and 19 v for 1/24.
Step 1 decrease Mass by eliminating all DIGITAL NONSENSE!
I thought that was Axl Rose.
Very nice. I like the graffiti look. But Personally I wood also put some MDF to span the bridge supports before adding the track. Cheers.
Great video! Thanks for the information!
I see why there is no more grass by Billy and Susie
IMO, buy a used B6.4 for the same money. Unless you're giving it to a kid and plan to spend zero in upgrades.
Sounds like it works similarly to an RC car with a radio and receiver.
Thanks for all the info!
Looks great, thanks Jonnie
Another great tip!
Do you have the 3D printed clips for the curves? STL or other files? The mini clips are fine but I would like to print something sturdier. Thanks.
After extended testing, we are currently doing a slight re-design of the clips. They aren't ready yet but I'll let you know as soon as they are.
@ cool. I am also working on my own design. We will se how it works.
Considering the RB10 is a clone of the B5 which was a metric clone of the B it should have potential to be a great racer. Just need to add some good tires, shocks and a ball diff.
Love your Tuning of a new slot car tires. Also I really love your track layout is it out of the box or custom, can you share if?
The track is custom. Carrera sets are only 20-24 feet of track, so a lot more track was acquired to create the layout you see in the video. The track plan can be found here along with a couple other layouts we've run: subhumanracing.net/carrera-layouts/ Check out any of our newer videos to see our latest setup which is larger.
Great video. I watched the first Building a Digital Slot Car Track too, it was very good also. I have a questions. Is there any distance limit that must be maintained between lane change track pieces, ex. could you put two lane change tracks one after the other? Is there a limit to the number of lane change track pieces that can be in a track? I want to build a track with as many lane change opportunities as possible.
You can build a track with as many lane changers as you like. Too many consecutively could prove to be problematic, though. They will function as intended but depending on what part of the track they are on could prove to be detrimental to the driveability. Exactly why would take a couple paragraphs to explain. But, that gives me an idea for my next video.
Good video, I used wood scraps on my track. they do make sense! Thanks for posting!
Good one as always dude 🎉 The grafiti is a nice touch.
How in the world did you add that high-bank turn? I bought a 2/30deg one and cant' figure out how it's supposed to connect. I also coudln't figure out exactly how to add a bridge to the Nascar starter set I purchased. The instructions are pretty lackluster. I was hoping for something that'd show me how to connect everything as I'm not part of this community and am going in it blind.
I like the idea of the label and the internet thanks
well done and keep the videos coming.
Sure will.
I just saw these slot cars at a random visit to a hobby shop. Looks like a lot of fun for my kids! I'd like to know more like why I might want one over another and how my kids can enjoy these.
Great idea with the labels, makes it nice and easy😎😎
You have one of the best tracks i have seen!
Thank you. I appreciate the comment.
Great idea with the walls/stickers.. Thx Salami
You bet! Thanks for the comment.
Love it! Thanks!
