The Slotcar Outhouse

Just a heads up to all you budding visitors to iLOL, its moved. iLOL has also changed the track mix at the new premises and introduced a large Carrera digital track for those interested in trying out or who currently enjoy this technology. Check the review here for more details of the current tracks...

Psssst, have you been down to iLOL lately ? Track number 5 .... and its extreme. Photo's coming very soon....it has a massive main straight with incline on and off, elevation and some very learn-able sections. A mixture of all the other tracks and yet a style of its own. 5 lanes, separate adjustable...

Jordan, There are no motors running 18k @ 12v that have the torque of the Ninco. The closest I have found is the one I used in the Autoart Veyron in the unmarked supercars and it pushed that AWD portly sow along just nicely at 2.8:1 gear ratio. Didn't quite have the brakes but hustled along well. It...

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE That Jamie fella is forever listening to us. Great bloke. His stock levels are increasing to...and selling fast. But the big improvement...he has discovered Polyurethane paint. A clear coat over the Acid Test track and my god...what a track for non mag racing. Its the facelift a...

Review Edited May 2011 to reflect the new address and the change in tracks. Outhouse regulars and newcomers it is my pleasure to provide the first full review of the latest Slot Car Centre on the Gold Coast. I have previously referred to iLOL Industries as a slot car super centre and I stand by thi...

A late buy in on the topic my friends, but as you would have noticed last legends round, I procured said Slot.it hairdryer. My logic for such a decision I feel is solid, but that is only because I said so. It all started at a particular round of a particular cup series at a local store circuit. Havi...

Fixed class, Ninco Lamborghini.

Nice one Eggy, sounds good. What about the Scaley Ferrari F430/Lamborghini Gallardo super resistant bodies. They are currently about $40 online, unbreakable, they are neck-n-neck in performance, and we can easily remove one of each of them and repaint so we could have yellow (standard Lambo), red St...

Can we all cope with 6 rounds of over powered trucks stumbling over themselves on ever other corner. If they are anything like the NINCO pro trucks grip is poor at best, without magnets they suffer massive understeer. However, if we were to add artificial lumps to the track to keep them at semi cont...

The Dodge Viper and the MERCEDES BENZ SLR McLAREN ROAD CAR are both in line so have different gearing (9/27 instead of sidewinder 11/36). Generally quicker on longer circuits. Theres a bit of knowledge out there on SCX tweaks, it may be hard to maintain parity. A closed can motor like Scaley is prob...

What about looking at the trophy class for what it is. Driver against driver. All other classes allow plenty of variation in make/model/brand etc. Therefore for trophy, have all the cars stock standard and the same. Everyone drives the same car, same brand, same make and model. Only allow tyre chang...
