Reviews
Congratulations Slot.it! And great taste with a legendary Australian band/song.
For those who do not receive our newsletter we thought you might be interested in this.
We recently received in the smaller Carrera GO range with a F1 set with Daniel's and Max Verstappen cars. We had to laugh at the image of the two drivers on the box. There is Daniel with his huge signature grin and there is Max with...nothing. So, we haven't had a competition for a while and thought what is your caption for this image? Simply email your answer to orders@armchairracer.com.a...u The winner - to be decided by the answer that gives us the biggest grin - will receive 20% off their order to the value of $500.

Daniel has arrived in 1:32 scale!
Isn't this great! No it's not a slot car/truck - but it is 1:32 scale which is our thing - so we will see these early 2019.
We have had an issue with the CONTACT US link on our web site the past few days. If you did not receive a response from us please try again so that we get your message and will then reply to it. Apologies for this inconvenience.
Things don't get much better than when you receive a bunch of really handsome cars.
One of our customers sent us these images of his Slot.it Opel Calibra white kit. He let us know it only took a few hours to make up and the logo (which is his company) was made on his own plotter. He also pointed out the damage at the front of the model after "a hard fight with friends". Simple but well done.
Look what can be done with a Thunderslot Lola white kit in a week!
Can't find the livery you like? Do it yourself - as one of our customers did - and the team supplied him with the paint from the 1:1 car.
Presenting the Scalextric V8's for 2018 - Lowndes and Van Gisbergen. These cars will only be available in the slot car set - no V8's will be sold separately in 2018. The set is due September.
Thought we would show you one of our customers tracks. We really like the way they have utilised the space and landscaped it.
If you are a Gulf fan then the new Sideways is something you should look at as it is supplied with an embroidered badge. For those just interested in a great car on the track then this is one you should look at as we get nothing but high praises on the Sideways Lamborghini range.
Look at this beauty that Scalextric have just advised will be released in 2018. Check this link to the actual car that was auctioned last year https://www.shannons.com.au/…/1970-ford -xw-falcon-gt-ho-ph…/
Yes we are on the move again. Armchair Racer will be re-locating in June, within walking distance of our present location. For logistic reasons there will be changes to our trading hours from mid April. For full details head across to our web page.
How is this for a man cave?
We like what Scalextric has done with the second version.
