Car racing is always fun whether you are driving it or just merely controlling a miniature car remotely. Slot cars are scale models of actual cars that are guided by the slot on which they run. Slot car kit usually includes all of the basic parts like: chassis, wheels, tires, etc. Some slot cars are used as part of a scale model of a scenic layout. However, most of these are used in slot racing.

Collectors of automobile scale models invest so much time and money. There are three common sizes of slot cars: 1:24 scale, 1:32 scale and 1:64 scale. Larger models are easier to maintain because their parts are more accessible. It is difficult to find racing tracks for them though. Most common in home race tracks are the smaller 1:32 scale.
