Robert Schleicher wrote the book on slot car racing-literally. In the three short years since Schleicher's Slot Car Racing: Tips, Tricks & Track Plans was published, the hobby has been virtually transformed by new products and technologies.

Building on the popularity of the Aspects of Modelling series designed primarily for railway modellers, Ian Allan Publishing is extending the coverage of the series to encompass other hobby modelling areas. The first of these titles looks in detail at an area of increasing popularlty worldwide, that of slot car racing, which is practiced both at an organized club level, but also at home using Scalextric and other similar manufacturers' products. Most of those pursuing the hobby quickly move on from just racing cars to want to learn how to improve the performance of their cars, control systems (including computer applications), track layouts, power supplies, driving skills etc. There is a wealth of advice in the community on these subjects, but this book brings together all this disparate knowledge into one practical 'how to' volume. In the style of the series the practical text is supplemented by clear photographs and diagrams to guide the reader.

Slot cars represent one of the fastest growing segments of the hobby market. This comprehensive history and guidebook offers enthusiasts a wealth of information for participating in virtually all aspects of the hobby. Author and slot-car aficionado Bob Schleicher examines the most popular scales produced from the 1960s to today - HO and 1/32 - and provides advice on obtaining the most collectible models, as well as instruction for detailing car bodies and tuning chassis, motors and tires for optimum performance. In addition, there is information on designing and building track layouts and discussion of the two major schools of slot-car racing: "scale" racing, in which enthusiasts strive to create accurate replicas of their favorite vintage and modern race cars, and all-out slot racing featuring high-tech replicas built strictly for speed, not realism. Robert Schleicher is a scale-model and slot-car enthusiast whose writing has appeared in Boy's Life and Popular Mechanics magazines.

It is a fair claim to make that, in the history of the slot car racing hobby, there has been nothing previously published that parallels this text. When the author set out on a journey to build a slot car track based on the Scalextric product, little did he appreciate all the considerations that this encompassed. It was soon realised that the building process involved considerably more than mapping out a design and assembling track pieces, for this alone did not assure a good outcome. Many choices needed to be made that together contributed to the outcome – a slot car track. Making a track was relatively easy. Making it to be ‘good’ was a different matter altogether. But what is it that makes a good slot car track, and how should its construction be approached? What steps can be taken to avoid a ‘pot luck’ outcome? This book, detailing the journey from conception to delivery, applies a methodical approach founded on architecture underpinnings to building a slot car track. It takes the reader through the many considerations and design choices in a narrative that describes what actually occurred and eventuated in the author’s 10 year journey. Contained within is a detailed slot car track architecture framework. Comprising over 62 aspects spanning 10 domains, the framework details the many hundreds of considerations that the budding track builder needs to work through regardless of whether the track is analogue, digital, set track or routed. Even then ‘good’ is not assured for there is no specific design formula, however the likelihood of achieving a ‘good’ slot car track outcome is significantly enhanced when the unique intellectual property contained herein is applied. Slot Cars and Architecture – Track Design & Construction Insights is an enjoyable and essential reference for those seeking to build ‘good’ a slot car track, and for those who enjoy the slot car racing hobby.
