The ideal guide. September 2, 2007
This is one of 3 books written by author Robert Schleicher.This title covers advice on building cars,race tune cars,driving techniques,building scenery,organizing races,etc.
This book has several b&w photos but they should have been colour.
For anyone starting out with Slot Cars this is the first book you should consider.
 This bible is a good reference tool. August 30, 2006
If you have caught the slot car bug, this book should be a must have to get you up to speed. It has a nice selection of track designs that span across all current track manufactures(There is also a chapter for those wanting to create permanent tracks).
You can tell Robert Schleicher has been active in the hobby since the beginning. His descriptions and writing style are easy to understand. As well as up to date.
He goes into custom modification of tracks, and is appropriately detailed without boring you into a coma.
The only ding that I can give the book is it's frequent use of black and white photographs. The book uses heavy, quality paper throughout. All color pictures would have been nice.
Good book. Well worth the price
Excellent Reference For The Slot Car Enthusiast February 18, 2003
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is a very well done book on the slot car hobby for the beginner, novice and advanced enthusiast. I particularly found the information on various track layout designs, car tune-up and custom car building to be excellent. This book focuses on 1/32 scale and provides limited HO scale coverage. It has rekindled my interest in the hobby.
