Their home base is in Prague in the Czech Republic and they have been involved with t...

Once you have screwed a few bodies to a few chassis I guarantee it won’t be long before you are making those components that you have previously bought in kit form. The chassis may well come first and as such lend themselves to more artistic approach than say a body does. Once the art of chassis b...

I like the finish on the chassis, and if you are going to run it, Paul Gage tyres will make all the difference.

Another plausible fix littleshark, I recommend if you are doing it this way to use a 1/16th drill bit in a pin vice if you have one. I also suggest that if you are not in a hurry, remove the offending axle to do the repair, why's this? Trust me, if you get glue into the axle bearing you are going to...

Have you tried EJ's ?

I suspect I have heard this mob before, hard to make the lyrics out but what a concept! Surfing slotters!

Hi Greg A classic slotcar indeed, on closer scrutiny most older slotcars carry marks of time. Damage is usually caused by the model having been stored in a place with something of weight stored on top of it. In these cases the mild application of heat (up to 80C should get most of the defect out and...

After having moderate success with the Stingray I decided to look round my classic 60's slotcars, surprise surprise after I picked two models for the same treatment. The same faults applied, the drivers trays had been glued in badly, windows had frosted glue around the edges, and weren't coming out ...

This car is a one off moulding from the guys at MJK carried out several years ago, but never, to my knowledge, ...

http://www.slotcarouthouse.com/photos/Img_2190_zps1gognb8l.jpg It sometimes happens that during the course of racing a model can become broken. Usually the bits that break are changeable 'consumable’ parts like wheels, guides wings etc. But sometimes there are disasters of a more serious and init...

Hi All Generally a good turn out last night with 12 in attendance and some good classes on the board. First up was the surprise Carrera Hot Rod ten lap challenge, not sure who won it but judging by the expression on the racers faces, they were either having fun or had a severe bout of wind! Next up ...

I would use a broad strip of hot glue down either side of the motor. Make sure the motor and chassis are clean and there is no oily residue anywhere. Do one side at a time and let it cool, you will need to position the motor/chassis at an angle as the glue will run in the early stages of cooling. Al...
