Default Carrera slot car set

Mille Miglia set I believe - have to go look to confirm. In good shape except a friend broke some tabs on the banked turn. Still works or you could replace. I would use a non banked variety. Came with a Jag d type and a open Aston. I also have a Trans Am Camaro and Mustang, Ferrari 512s, Porsche 917, 908 and a Lola t70. These have all been used and show some wear. Not collectibles. Would like to get $200. I have more than that in the cars alone.

I'd guess 1/32. More importantly, who made the other cars as carreras aren't the quickest slot cars.

Yes, it is 1/32. I tried to buy the cars in twos to race each other. I actually like the carrera cars because you can make the tails swing out for drifts. The muscle cars are scalextric sports, the Lola, 908 and 512s are Fly and the 917 is SCX.

No disrespect intended. Heck I own a couple of carreras. Its just that Ninco and scalectrix are ususally the quickest. Waiting to hear back from Fly fans......

Any pics? Oh and are they all stock?

Yes, they are stock. I never got that into it. No disrespect taken. I don't have any pics, but I could take some if somebody was interested.

hmmm....that's not a bad deal considering the cars involved!

anybody considering real slots should get in on this. the scalextric muscle cars are a blast to drive.

and fwiw my carrera classic nascar Torino is one of my favorite cars to drive. gets sideways with the best of 'em!

by FAR my fastest current car is the Revell Monogram Porsche 550. waaaaay too fast at full power (for me anyways).
