Digital slot car sets now available

dbkline — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:09:45 +0000

Time Machine just brought in SCX’s new line of digital slot cars. I got a demo of these from the SCX rep and was knocked out of my seat. You can buy a pit stop add-on that actually tracks how much gas you use. As you have less gas your car gets lighter. When you near the bottom of the tank your car actually starts to shake. When you fill up you have to decide how much gas to take. It’s a realistic racing experience and probably the best slot car set ever made.
