the controllers do not look like artin controllers. i think these are 1/43 scale. there is a brand from china called chilford, you dont see them much and ive heard you have to order them by the container from hong kong, so usually only large chains will carry them

I was shopping with the wife and kid this evening and I saw the same set on clearance from $139 down to $99.The store it was in is a department store here in SE NY called Fillenes.

That looks like an Artin set...

Chilford? You mean Childford (http://www.childford.com/home.htm)? Isn't that the company that someone here posted about a couple weeks ago, said that they make the slot car chassis for JL/RC2?

Hey your right i got the name wrong.

If you look at their web site they have a four-lane set without loops that is very similar to the one offered by Kaufman's. The controllers are very distinctive, and Kaufman set controllers look identical to the controllers on the Childford web site.

I've seen the sets on eBay occasionally and on the Web once a while, but I've never seen one in person. Has anyone actually ever used (okay played with) a Childford set?

Not yet but I have one on the way so I'll let everyone know in a week or two.

Check out the kits they sell for kids to customize and build an F1 1/43 race car to use in their/any sets! It's the "Inventive Child" option in their products on the Childwood site.:)

so has anyone else heard where u can get childford raceing sets in the usa
