Has anyone converted a static model to slot racing?

philo, I have not done that since the 60's.  From around 65 to 68 a bunch of us hacked up lots of 3in1 kits for slot track battle.  I saw some really nice slots built and some really ugly ones.  I had forgotten terms like sidewinder, jail door frame.  There has not been a slot track in my area since around 70.  That hobby cut deep into my model $$ and time!!!

Gotta agree  with ROMMELKISTE;  come the think of it, sounds like we were doing the same thing at the same time 

But yeah, AMT, Revell, Monogram, maybe a vacuum formed 1/24 scale sedan,  Mustangs, Dodges, Ford Galaxie, Chevrolets, Pontiacs,were all possibles. 

  Some converted into police cruisers with blinking bubble gum lights .....well you got the idea.   Maybe not as fast as some on the track but hoops of fun on the rally nights. 

Haaa, the smell of oil and ozone- good times.

wish we had a track around here!  i235.photobucket.com/.../004_zps3db7c553.jpg

no fair you're just showing off your video skills-

oh and   

Thanks!that Superbee looks really mean1

I would have thought plastic kits to be a bit too heavy (every gram counts). Vac-formed petg would be better.

True but they look super cool!
