1:32 slot car set with Superbird option, 5 1/2 inch cars, w/ '70 Hemi Cuda

[SeattleCharger]

Saw this slot car set in a car/gift catalog.     Has a Cuda and Camaro, but you can also get a Superbird.   Cars are almost half a foot long.   Its a little spendy, don't know the quality,   looks pretty cool though.     I am not a model expert, but the cars look pretty detailed, drivers inside, cool rims.

Ah yeah, those tracks are awsome. I bought one a few years ago that has a Superbird and a Dodge Daytona. I was hoping to get a 500 to go on the track but no such luck so far, my wife won't spring the $45 to get one of the 2 500's they offer.


You can get just the winged cars on an oval track I think its called the Winged Wonder's track or something like that. The track when set up takes up an entire room, I think it is like 13 feet long and 8 feet wide.

Yeah we opened mine up and I let my 2 year old drive the Superbird. Three laps in his car was of the track and broke a little piece off of it. I don't really mind, as the cars seem pretty easy at this point to find another one and replace them.

I'd love the black 500 but can't get the wife to buy one for me.

[BigBlockSam]

yea thats a cool one

After having snow dumped on us all day, it's nice to see something so freakin awesome - I will now put out a series of hints as to what my s.o. should get me for X-Mas. -dave

[OneBadSuperbird]

Those sets and cars are way, way cool!

I don't have one of the race sets yet but I bought the #99 Charlie Glotzbach Daytona.  I took it to the local slot car racing facility but was too paranoid to take it out on the track so I left it in the box and bought a really cool '75 Greenwood Corvette and raced it instead.  Them cars run really good.

[BigBlockSam]

yea there to nice to crash and you know your gonna crash

[OneBadSuperbird]

LOL yeah really!   When I raced the Greenwood Vette at the local track, I pretty much babied it except on the long straights where I'd open it up a bit.   There was one straight where I didn't let out soon enough at the end of the straiight and it was a banked curve (six or eight lane track) and the Vette slid through the entire curve on it's roof!   Amazingly enought, there wasn't a mark on it!   I pulled it off the track and put it right back in the lexan display case that it came in.   Even though it was JUST a Vette, I didn't want to ruin the beauriful paint and detail on it.   I need to find me some beater slot cars!  

[69_500]

No need for some beater cars. Just come to my house and your more than welcome to beat up on mine on  the slot track. I have a blast playing with mine with my son. And being that he is only 2, he hasn't quite grasped the idea of letting off the throttle to go through the corners. So they tend to go off track every once in a while.

[BigBlockSam]

thats what happens when you get old. you grasp the concept of value. these darn cars cost money. when i was a kid i destroyed all my toys.   

[69_500]

Yeah but they are a ton of fun to play with.

Oh wait was that another comment about my young age?

Maybe you should consider putting some pillows on the outsides of the curves!

I think that's what happened to me, I got old! 

I do still have ALL my old AFX slot cars from when I was a kid though!  Some of em are hammered and some of em are still in pretty decent shape! 

[OneBadSuperbird]

That Daytona and Superbird are way cool.   And the black 500 is really cool.     

  Here's the Daytona and Superbird from that link you put on here.      Looks like the same brand set, you could buy both and probably all the track would fit together?     That would be quite a nice collection of Mopars.  2 Superbirds, a 500, a Daytona, and a Hemi Cuda.

[BigBlockSam]

that would be a cool layout. nice cars

Yeah it would!  I need to start clearing out my basement and make room for comething like that

[ChargerBill]

I'd love to have that set-up...sweet! I had the Hotwheels s;otcar track when I was a kid...3 sets put together - it was huge. My dad and I would race head to head for hours, but of course they didn't have Mopars for those sets that I remember...had 2 differently painted Camaros. I remember it was a blast .

[69_500]

Yeah mainly at car shows is when I get ribbed on about my age. Most people that don't know me assume that my car is my dad's. Then again some of those people remember my dad, so I guess that isn't too far of a fetch for them to think that.

BigblockSam, your saying I'm older than you are? Hmmmm,

Oh and John, I have some of the old AFX cars too. Funny story about one of those. I have a blue Daytona that is in the case, and the case has never been opened but yet the car is broken. The car was broken when I got it years ago. The entire roof is off of the car. Package has never been opened, and  the car is still fastened to the baseplate. One of these days' I'll get another blue one, and maybe I'll take the convertible one and play with it.
