This
listing is ONE (1) TYCO TCR, Total Control Racing, vintage 1993
Slotless HO scale slot car RACE SET. The components are all New Old
Factory Stock that was originally intended to be used to assemble race
sets. All
track needs some scotch-brite pad brightening of the rails. WD-40 on a
rag will help rejuvenate the track appearance & will help to repel
moisture.
Three cars are included: BLUE NISSAN 300ZX, YELLOW PORSCHE WHALE TAIL & A RED FERRARI F40.
Track is designed to set up on a typical 8' folding table.
The
TYCO TCR system will accept vehicles like Aurora Speedsteer or Ideal
TCR as well. On my web site, under guides, i have several in depth
essays on TCR racing. The AC powered system works well & has a
degree of difficulty that is unexpected. Although the entire track
system has integrated guardrails, flying off the track is still probable
at higher speeds. Shifting lanes is actuated with a steering wheel on
the controller. Applying the wheel while going too slow results in a
vehicle stall; do it too late, & the corner wall divider, takes you
out.
Adding a JAM car (available separate) creates
a situation where one has to get around the moving obstacle! Using a
second JAM vehicle allows one car to go in each direction to warm up
the track. Typical is a Mustang 5.0 or an Emergency Van. A WARM TRACK
MAKES FOR A WELL PERFORMING TRACK.
TCR RACING IS A HOBBY & NOT A TOY.
Adult
supervision, setup & participation are CRUCIAL to a good user
experience. Everything is included to get started. Parts, Vehicles &
Track Accessories are widely available.
