what happens when you hand slot car controllers to four kids aged 4 to 11? and let them slide Tjets with Tuffy rims around a 4-lane layout? hilarity ensues. watch the 4-year-old drive the orange Tuffy Bug. he can drive rings around the others. it's uncanny... he seems to drive this thing at 9/10ths constantly, like he's already figured out exactly how far he can push it on every curve. i keep watching him push it into corners, and thinking, he's never gonna stay on the track... and he comes right out the other side. it's like, there's no WAY that car should stick like that, I can't get it to do that...

the orange camaro is my 6-year-old trying to keep up with him. the camaro has wide delrin rears and brass fronts... the bug has JLTO rims all around with WJ's silicones. they are both stock Aurora Tjet motors, but the camaro can take the bug in a drag race. go figure. :thumbsup:

the other cars are a yellow resin Cyclone in Hooters livery (my 10-year-old) and a blue Eldon push car Camaro converted to run a Tjet chassis (my 11-year-old). in the 4th vid, watch for the shot where he tries to launch the Cyclone over the wall...

That one cracked me up too.

I wish I could get my 8 & 10 year-olds to behave as well on the track.

Rick,

Had a blast watching these videos...thanks for sharing!

Hey watch your language this may be on U-TUBE..lol

Bob...kids are what life is all about...zilla

Nice track! Looks like fun was had by all!

Rick,
Nice layout & great videos. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

Rick,

After seeing how much fun you guys had Fletcher and I went downstairs and started pulling every car out of the cases and began to race...Fun Times!

A new Sub Lime car Zooooooooooooomed around the track like Greased Lightning....man this slot car stuff is Fun! :)

Bob...they are all back behind glass till next time...zilla

Edit: Well today was Fletchers 5th Birthday party and he got this 4 lane HotWheels set. Well guess it will be a while before we race downstairs now. To be a kid again!!!!! When he found out that his orange track worked with this he got all excited...Bree was righting down which car won and how often. This thing has a 1,2,3,4 lane finish thingy that lets you know what order they came in every time!!!!!!! It folds up easily and is portable.
