Race at home.
We’ll forgive you if you don’t know anything about slot car racing. Once upon a time it meant crowding into a cramped hobby store where enthusiastic kids and enthusiastic old men jockeyed for position around a surprisingly elaborate indoor race track exuding that weird old-timey energy that also comes from penny candy on the boardwalk and maybe pushing a hoop down a dirt road with a stick.
Today your local slot car track has probably been turned into a vape shop, unless of course you’re lucky enough to live near one that still exists to launder money or however else such a thing could stay in business during the Candy Crush era.
Regardless, if you want some slot car action we’re sorry to say that it’s probably going to have to take place on your living room floor. Oh hey, we have a deal for that!
This set has everything you need to build fun cars and race them on rad tracks that you (and kids, probably) can configure any which way. As for the actual racing, it works just like the old-fashioned ones, which as far as we know involves pushing the “go” button and sometimes releasing it again. It’s pretty cool, to be honest.
And if you really can’t see yourself breaking one of these out anytime soon, it’s the perfect thing to buy now and keep handy for inevitable gifting needs. Like if you have a nephew who insists on getting nothing but Roblox NFTs for his birthday, you can dust off your trusty emergency slot car track and set the kid straight before more damage is done.
Just buy one!
