Hey Joe, this sounds very interesting, if somewhat confusing. When I saw "1/87" I was thinking someone finally did a true scale HO but these look like TJets to me. That's cool.

The online description mentions "12 - 16 volt DC motor." Do these have something other than the stock gray lam arms that are in most of the NOS chassis or did you commission a new lower voltage arm? There's also links for race dates and race rules. Are the races limited to these specific cars? If there are only 500 of these being produced in total I'd think that most of them will be racing on a collector's wall peg.

You mention 10 cars per state. Will there be some distinguishing characteristic for each state's car? Will each state have a unique body type, color, etc.?

AfxToo, I think the ten different cars are just 10 cars numbered 00-09. It sounds pretty cool, but at $50-$100 each? As for the races, I'm hoping any stock Tjet type car is allowed. And It would be cool if a Pittsburgh date can be made.

Hello AfxToo,

...These look like TJets to me. That's cool.
I am pleased to hear this. Yes, these are Model Motoring bodies.

The online description mentions "12 - 16 volt DC motor."...
The chassis used in ALL IRaceSlotCars™ will be vintage 1960’s NOS chassis.

[QUOTE=AfxToo]...Are the races limited to these specific cars?
For now, the races will be limited to these specific body styles.

If there are only 500 of these being produced in total I'd think that most of them will be racing on a collector's wall peg.
My guess is that the entire IRaceSlotCars USA Edition (http://www.iraceslotcars.com/usa_edition/)™ black version run of 500 will probably remain sealed “on a collector’s wall peg.”

You mention 10 cars per state. Will there be some distinguishing characteristic for each state's car?
Yes, there be three (3) distinguishing characteristics for each state’s car. One (1) on each car and two (2) on each package.

Will each state have a unique body type, color, etc.?
The body style will be the same for each state. However, there will soon be different body colors available.

Thank you.

another worth $80
and the rest worth $50

Hello videojimmy,

what makes one car worth $100, another worth $80 and the rest worth $50
Great question. There are only going to be 10 cars made in black for each state. Each IRaceSlotCars USA Edition (http://www.iraceslotcars.com/usa_edition/)™ state car runs from 00 to 09. The higher premium is based upon the numbering system with 00 being the highest priced and 09 being the lowest priced.

Thank you.

Thanks for getting back to me
Good luck with all that.

To me it just sounds like another way to grossly overpay for a toy car, no offense

I think it is a very cool idea for a collector.

I also really like the way it just happening, rather than havingto hear a year of its goingto happen first.

Hopefully, the racer will like the economical version of these which will be available sometime in March or perhaps sooner.
