I think I have Dslot fever

[ElSecundo]

I'm right there with you, Roland. Don't have as many as you do, but I'm crazy about these little devils. Addictive, fun little cars. :)

[pfuetze]

very nice field, Roland!
yep, they ARE nice!

[masmojo]

Yes, I have'em all so far (except the Japan only cars) and I have to pinch myself, to remind myself how cool it is to have REAL slot cars in this scale! I do wish they would do something about the stock tires, they are O.K. when new, but after a few months they start to get slicker and slicker. Sanding helps, but they are just Too hard!

You have a great collection, Roland. They are super cars.
ASCW will be a Gel Claws dealer for real soon. Tires in stock, in other words, and we think you will find them to be very good! And good looking. :D

Nice group of DSlots

At first I was against the dslot- high price, maybe a flash in the pan? But after getting a couple then running them I have to say I am impressed. They seem to have taken it where scx was heading, basically like mas pointed out, these are real deal slot cars! Now everybody in my 1/32 club has at least 1.
Looking forward to getting some of the newer releases along with a few dnano bodies. Maybe if we push hard enough they'll start pumping out some muscle, can-am, rally and other stuff us slot heads love... never hurts to dream,right :banana-rock:

I have a few "custom" DSlot43s. These are my 917s. The 917lh did not make the photo shoot. LOL

[dreinecke]

I've been extremely impressed with these cars! Nice collections!

[slothead]

Can the Dslot43 chassis be modified to mount under bodies with different wheelbases? Do they have guide flags or guide pins?

Anyone use them on a no-magnet wood track?

The Dslots run O.K. on wood and all mine have the stock tires (Except one). NOw I originally painted my tack with a textured paint that offers a little better grip, but it's just about worn smooth over the last few years. I found the aftermarket tires work better for a few laps, until they get a layer of dust on them and then they are about the same as the stock ones! They are much quieter though!! I run my Dslots @ about 11 volts, most of my other cars (like my SCX Compacts) run better around 10 Volts, but the D-slots have a bigger heavier motor.

Hmm.

I might get inspired to try one. Anyone know the rpm's for the stock and optional motors. I have the gearing numbers but not the motor. I read somewhere the Porsche may come already with uprated one? I'm thinking the green/orange Mazda. With some different tires.

[ElSecundo]

Mike, I use the Mazda 787b and the 956 on wood tracks with Paul Gage tires, and they're just great to drive. No need for a hotter motor.

In fact, much of the time it isn't really necessary to swap tires, but their compound seems to be a bit inconsistent. Switching to Pual Gage makes everything nice and consistent, and they run great together. :)

Kurt,

OK. They offer high grip "rubber" tires so maybe I'll get some of those included in the shipping box. I don't have a 1/43 car so I thought..... and the orange/green is quite pretty.
