Slot.It delivers miniature marvels

While slot car racing's level of realism and performance options are being dramatically enhanced by developments in the realm of digital electronics by the likes of industry leaders

Carrera

and

Scalextric

, the time-honored art of providing realism in the cars remains a primary objective for many, and Italy's Slot.It delivers it in spades with its remarkably detailed 1:32 scale cars like this Matra Simca MS670B from the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans (ABOVE), delivered in display-ready boxes suitable for cars that are as much eye-candy as many diecast models. But they are rugged enough to race as well.

Since its foundation in 1988, Slot.It has also established itself as the reference brand for upgrade parts and competition slot cars, as well as a variety of accessories.

Hornby America serves as the U.S. importer-distributor of the Slot.It brand. Visit them at
