I'm new to slot car anything, I got a AW John Force drag strip for Christmas from my wife. I have been searching for a couple new cars, and I really don't know where to start. From what I have seen, the T Jet seems to be the most popular. Are the really skinny tires any good for drag racing? A lot of the T Jet cars I like have them, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on any of them. I'm just looking for a couple cars to have fun with that run about the same and look like they belong on a drag strip. Any suggestions on where to begin?

If you are just getting into drag racing I would recommend the Auto World X-tractions. They run well right out of the package and they are fairly cheap. We just held a proxy race using this chassis and had a good turn out. Here is a link to the elimination coverage. www.nitroslots.com/index.cgi?board=cdfs&action=display&thread=2169&page=1If you are going to run the t-jets with the skinny tires I would suggest using slip on silicone tires. They will give you enough traction to launch the cars. We ran a stock t-jet class at the finals this year. Here is a link to that race. www.nitroslots.com/index.cgi?board=lions&action=display&thread=2098&page=1If you are wanting a couple cars to play with, I do recommend the X-traction with muscle car bodies on them. |
