A fairly newbe here, we built this 48 foot + big high bank oval about a year ago sits on a 16'x24' table & found that the slot it brand cars are the ones to beat.
They are stupid fast out of the box. My question is will slot it ever produce or have they ever made cars of American muscle cars or Nascar type cars?. We have digital chipped slot it cars with Careara chips & have put Scalley nascar, late model plastic bodies on them found on ebay. One more question guys, how do we go about making our track into a 4 lane? dealers up here in north Mich. are very few & far between & are in the dark as what we want to do. Our original Carrera Daytona track has been added onto also with jumper wires so you know what we are working with.
Thanks for your time, Gary

Gary,
There is a product produced by Slot.It that is EXACTLY what you are looking for. It is the HRS2 Chassis. If you purchase thr RTR version, all you need ti provide is the body of your choice. It is adjustable for both wheelbase and guide lead. Very easy to setup and enjoy.
I have built several cars using it and all of them are "Slot.It fast!"

SCX also built NASCARs using a design very similar to Slot.It's design. They were very quick, and had machined aluminum wheels and all the nice goodies that made for a fast car.
Don't expect Slot.It to ever make NASCARs. Could happen, but very, very unlikely.

Thanks guys for all the info,, will tell the others that race with us also & pass this great site on to them. I personally like the slot it brand best. 3 guys have shown up with Scalley build your own cot plain white cars that run decent, but man them slot it cars smoke 'em.
Will try & post some pics. of our track & cars after it gets moved to our new addition alongside of the race shop where the 1 to 1 race cars are.
Any ideas where to get layouts on building a digital 4 lane oval Carrera track with cross overs from lane 4 to lane 1?.
I have seen on you tube some monster 4 lane digital Carrera tracks but not much info on it.
Our closest dealer is Professor Motor a 4 hr drive south one way, but would like to also support shops on here so we need to know what to get & have it ready to pick up or shipped out.
This is a great site & love all the info we get!. We are having a blast racing, wrecking & building them in the long winter months when we are not summer racing on a dirt oval.
There might be a another shortage in Michigan soon on getting more Carrera d132 chips :lol:

I have found that most pan type LMP type chassis of any brand is pretty close in wheelbase to Nascar bodies. it may take a little trimming on the sides of the pan but otherwise fit well.
Awhile back, I bought 10 SCX Pro Audi LMP chassis on Ebay for $2.50 each explicitly for use under oval cars. I haven't used them yet but my experience with SCX Pro Nascars tells me that they ought run pretty well in circle track dress.
I have a Flyer Daytona Prototype chassis set up with CB Design Nascar type wheels and urethane tires and a 20Kish Colgate Motion toothbrush long can motor. I first had it set up on a Carrera Dodge COT Nascar Body but now it is under a 78 Camaro Circle track car. Now it is set up with even bigger CB Design wheels (15x12's vs. 15x8's) That chassis, regardless of which body is present, smokes on my wood oval. It holds the track record running the current Camaro set up.

It's hard to beat putting a scaly body on a HRS chassie. You mad the hell out of the scaly chassie but it wont touch the HRS. I was in the middle of doing four scaly cars on the HRS. Once my shoulder is out of this sling I will finish the rest. They are very fast. I have a thread in the 1/32 section on this forum.
