If you didn`t get the joke, Peso Generale is Dollar Genral. Well, I went there this morning and they had a slot car set that looked half decent, and I bought it. It was $10, came with 2 F1s and 16 pieces of track. Battery powered, and not too bad. The only problem is the connecters which hold the track together break often. Well, Ill post pics if anyone wants them.

I already have so much Tyco and other brand Slot track that I don't need any more.  And I'll bet those are the S gauge size ( 1/43 ), and not HO size cars? I like slot cars, I built a small track set-up on a corkboard, but haven't got it tacked down yet. Same with my N gauge triple-siding on a corkboard. Need to finish some of these small projects.

I Think It is 1/64. That is What Scalextric Is.

It Feels to small to be 1/43 but to big for 1/64

AMC - Do you have the newer Tyco track or the old style as pictured.
CVT - That set must be old style TYco if the connecters are breaking easily!
A few pieces of my "old style" collection...

walt, I have a little bit of EVERYTHING - Old Tyco, new, newer, Ideal slotless, Matchbox slot track, Aurora, AF/X, LifeLike, almost any kind you can mention, I have at least a set's worth of it. One set I DON'T have yet is the Tyco Turbo train slot track, the slot car kind, not train track kind. Have been outbid on those usually, not highly pursuing it, but if I get a deal, I'll buy a set. Love those train crossovers. I think they just repro'd the train crossover by LifeLike, so not sure what adapters will be necessary there. But at $20 apiece, I ain't buying right now. Yeeks!
