Dude, the race was so much fun! I want a rematch though 😄😄

FPV slot car racing is such a cool idea!
-
Wow, that brought back memories. late 1950s into the early 1960s spent hours and hours racing with my neighbor Tim in his living room. Slot cars, the track looks the same. Tim has now had a stroke and it's hard to talk with him, but the memories still live in my head. Thanks for sharing with a 74 yr. old guy who knows the fun in a slot car race.

Absolutely awesome, 2 big kids realising their former little kid selves dreams.
-
This reminds me of the Tom Scott video about how they trained tank drivers using the models and cameras. It's a cool way of making a game/simulation without a computer.
-
epic video bro!! ive wanted to do something like this when i was a kid
-
The concept and the execution of this project were just incredible. So so cool.
-
I loved those as a kid, all that has survived from them over all the years are the motors though. My set was incomplete, rusty, the magnets were dead and sometimes it smelled like shorted circuits, but it was still great fun.
-
As a guy who used to race slot cars with his family and friends WAY back in the 60s' and 70s' as a kid, I found this video ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 👍👍 PS: I believe that I still have my complete sets still buried in my closet somewhere from those LONG AGO days and now I want to go find them! 😁
-
What a wicked project I can only imagine how fun that must have been! It reminds me of that on game micro machines where you used to race miniature cars around worktops and desktops avoiding obstacles like glue that'd slow you down and across gaps using rulers as makeshift bridges. Thanks for the flashback to my childhood and goes to show that you're never too old to have fun and play with toys 😁 wicked video as always 👍 Thanks.

I launched countless slots cars into obstacles as a child. Actually, now that I think about it, these cars were one of the first things I ever managed to break, disassemble, and eventually learn to fix. My set had track that went up the wall, and I think I put a few dents in the ceiling. I always wanted to experience it in FPV, thanks for this video!

wow, just amazing. i used to have a scalextic set fro when i was a kid, through to the 90,s. i remember my dad always going to the model shop to buy new sets of brushes for the cars. And constantly fiddling with the metal track parts to get it all working.But when it all worked, it was amazing.
-
It was already exciting when you talked about this, but I didn't expect it to be such a neck and neck race. Just awesome!
-
This is awesome! Someone should definitely sell DIY kits that allow anyone to do this conversion.
-
That is the most amazing use of miniature technology I have in long time. I grew up in the days of huge indoor slot car tracks. Serious hobbyists spent fortunes on their slot cars. Once a week there would be very competitive racing. Putting mini cams on top of cars is brilliant. VR goggles is also brilliant. Seen it done racing drones, never seen it done with slot cars. Job well done mate.

We ALL won!!! I have never watched a videos in its entirety. However, this video was viewed with huge smile and excitement during EVERY second. Thank You for sharing your wisdom. My best wishes to all. You brought out the kid in me. 🙏
-
It's unreal fun. First I thought you did it for your kids, but then I saw two adult guys playing. I think your kids in future will be happy to have such dads. Keep doing this! You are cool!!!
-
This was so much fun! I loved racing these as a kid. Nice to see Matt making an appearance, also - great video!
-
I have found that designing the track/cars/and figures buildings etc. myself and 3d printing them to be the most fun you can have, even if you don't have room for a massive track like this.
