21.01.2022 Here we have Ryan explain a frequent;y asked question for many slot car novice: How do you replace slot car metal pickup braids? These metal "fibres" are essential for slot cars to operate at their best. They are responsible for the seamless transfer of electrical power from the track to the car's motor, much like how electric model trains do. But unlike trains, cars go through the track at much faster speeds. This causes friction which inevitably wears down the braid ends. R...yan explains the difference between the two major brands - Scalextric and Carrera, as well as the subtle differences between the scales. Tune in and learn this fascinating aspect of high speed slot car racing and go beyond the box!
