Hi Dave 👋

[@user-qj8wm3gz5t]

Great video-
Kindly advise on magnets and tyres, my Revo MK1 has very low road holding. Also once I installed the chip (scalextric) speed on car reduced a lot. My settings are 100%

[@slotr]

Your bad road holding is most likely the scalextric track, which is very slippery

[@JustSlotCars]

Do you have luck with the guide with the lane changers? I ended up using Slot Invasion guides. The blade is thinker and it makes good contact with the switch on the lane changer. The Revo would leave the flipper open

[@slotr]

I've got two revos now and have kept them on the standard guide and don't have an issue so far

[@user-qj8wm3gz5t]

Please send in more info on magnets + road holding. My MK1 has very scathy road holding

[@slotr]

I don't use the magnets, my car just runs good. Is your track dusty?

[@user-qj8wm3gz5t]

@@slotr tks for reply. My track is super clean with vacum cleaner and all. Used auto sol Only on metal and track kept 100%. Scalextrics ArcPro , but Revo cars without magnets they will fly off. Tyres are so thin - if tyres wider I think cars run more stable.

Do you record all your voiceovers after? Or live then mix the audio track in production?

[@slotr]

I can't talk and do at the same time so I record the do, edit down and then put the voice in after

@@slotr I should try that, i find i need a script to read in my head while I film or my video is too short for what I want to say lol
