Slot cars don't use radios for remote control. Instead, drivers tap into a track-based, 12-volt electrical system via a hand-held controller and conductive pads located at the front of each car. We have six "slots" or lanes which allows for up to six cars to race against one another. During a race, after a set time (usually 3 minutes), the cars and drivers change lanes until they have raced on all six lanes. With cars travelling at 17 to 30 miles per hour, depending upon the class of race car, the action is so fast and furious that it takes a computer to follow the competition and register race positions and standings. |
