Planning on turning this old slot car into a Ho scale engine of some sort

Am I over volting the motor?

Help identifying these cars

Hi all! We found these cars in my grandparents’ house and we don’t know if they have any value today. Could someone help us identifying them?
Thanks!

My *original* Rush shrine!

In the past, I've shared my other Rush shrines, with one wall of my home office dedicated almost entirely to Rush memorabilia and my concert tickets (with a little Tull and Zappa on the side) and another wall with framed programs from the shows I attended, back to Hemispheres in 1979. When I published the last one here, over a year ago, I mentioned an upcoming surprise "in a couple of weeks". Well, it took me a very long time to get the pictures taken and posted, but now my wife and I are downsizing and sadly, I need to make it go away (I'm about to post it on local Craigslist). So, that provided motivation to finally get it done! (Note that the Rush stuff starts about 20 pages down, fyi.)

Anyway, here you have it... I hope you enjoy it! 😊

AFX or Carrera Hybrid?

I have a Carrera Digital 132 track, but I'm considering getting either an AFX HO or Carrera Hybrid track, just for a little variety and because they'd take up less space.

I've had HO tracks before, so I know what to expect from them. But Carrera Hybrid looks interesting.

So I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with both, which system you prefer, and why.

Thanks!

Artin 1:32 4-Lane Team Racing..

This is the set that got me back in the game. It’s pretty huge and it’s super solid! My Dad asked for it so I’m sending both my Artin 1:32 sets to him in Florida!

I built a crash test dummy simulator powered by a Pi Pico!

I used a pi pico 2w to control this slot car drag racing strip. I decided to have a little fun and 3D print a destructible car body to turn it into a crash test simulator 😂.

Recycled some leftover paints and decals into a custom M1 Procar livery

So the RCT launched a new club series: Carrera 124 BMW M1 Procar body, mildly modified and on a custom chassis that one of the club members developed. Spec series with a very tight rulebook.

The series was unexpectedly successful, pretty much the entire club has entered and we fielded about 50 cars. Since the catalogue is rather more limited, I grew bored and decided to repaint one of my bodies in a livery that could have been, but never was.

How rare are custom cars? I mean completely unique, hand-crafted

I'm new to this hobby and I'm wondering how freaky car I can use, like cosplay cars or non-real ones
