Then, it wouldn't be Slot Racing, just be happy it didn't.

Carrera had a system called "Servo 132" (and of course Servo 140 and Servo 160) which worked similar to the TCR system.

If you're going t0 go slot-less then go all the way and just get into RC cars.
I like slot car racing because it's realatively simple, almost anyone can have fun right away. Some friends race RC cars, basically box stock and it's still a lot of time and effort - too much for me (plus I really am a poor RC driver). |

TCR was a lot of fun but had a few short comings -
1) The cars couldn't hold the inside lane around a curve. The car would just slide to the outside lane of the curve and ride against the barrier. 2) You can almost always run the entire track at full throttle. 3) The cars would sometimes get stuck between lanes as the middle of the track didn't have any rails. Usually one car was faster than the other. So both drivers would just hold down the controller at full throttle and the faster car would win. The Jam car made things more interesting as the faster or leading car would sometimes get slowed down by the Jam car and allow the other car to catch up. Best regards, Brian
