That's an AMF King track, 155ft lap length that they cover in about two seconds. They're 24th scale unlimited slot cars, motors do about 120,000 rpm. Whe I raced on a King in the late 1960s we had Johnson 16D motors and took about six seconds to do a lap!

It's a skillful as RC cars, and if you tried it you'd not stay on the track for long! Watch some YouTube videos of 12th scale finals and you'd say the same thing. Modified 12th cars look crazy fast on video, and just as hard to control!

Nice spot, Nick. Thank you for bringing back some great memories of my slot racing days a long time ago!
