Well, go to the great plaines audio site (Altec repair and sales of there version of altec drivers, very nice) scroll down to the altec forum, then go to a post entitled Photo phun with VOTT 210, or something like that. There is tons of stuff on the web apparently the slot car craze is being rekindled by those of us who were into it as kids, and many new people a well. I just bought two big sets to combine for a giagantic 4- lane...I can almost smell the wintergreen oil! Russellc

I must be stupid or something because I still can't find it. But anyways, I am NOT talking about slot cars. Tose aren't any fun. I am talking about precision RC cars that don't run in slots - they go anywhere. They small, run on batteries (so they can be used in doors), are very very precise and very fast. They make slot cars look like kids stuff. The cars are not toys and can can be pricy $80 - $150, but they are well made, very durable, and last a long time. They are not easy to drive - it takes some time. Look up Mini-Z by Koyosho. They are not very common in the US and can be hard to find, but in Asia, where I first saw them, they are a rage.

I've seen them and they are as you say. that being said, I just am not into R/C stuff. Slot cars are a little more advanced than what you say...there are ho scale cars that cost the money you're talking about, and 1/24 scale full on cars can go beyond that pricing (80- 150 bucks) I've some friends into the rc cars, it just isn't my bag. Their cars are quite a bit larger than 1/24 scale, and cost is WAY beyond 150.00. A couple of guys had some cars with gas powered motors (model airplane, but large) with miniature centrifical clutches like old mini bikes and go carts. Just a preference, but I always prefered control line airplanes to r/c as well. The main thing about the article was this guys use of the VOTT speakers (210) as a "table" for his track. russellc
