5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference For The Slot Car Enthusiast, February 17, 2003
By ME Forry "Hobbyist" (Hamilton, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This is a very well done book on the slot car hobby for the beginner, novice and advanced enthusiast. I particularly found the information on various track layout designs, car tune-up and custom car building to be excellent. This book focuses on 1/32 scale and provides limited HO scale coverage. It has rekindled my interest in the hobby.

(REAL NAME)   
This is one of 3 books written by author Robert Schleicher.This title covers advice on building cars,race tune cars,driving techniques,building scenery,organizing races,etc.

This book has several b&w photos but they should have been colour.

For anyone starting out with Slot Cars this is the first book you should consider.
