I've started work on a links page, gathering together various useful sites from all over the place into one convenient location.

It's available from the INFO section on the left of the home page, but to save you an extra click....

The bestest ever slot car links and bookmarks page!!!!    

 
I'm sure there are additions needed, so let me know, and I'll add them.

Below is an index of scenic item manufacturers/suppliers for reference purposes. If you know any I have missed please add them to the thread and I will incorporate them.

If you spot any broken links please let me know so I can fix them.

Is there such a thing as a look-up table that lists different slot car manufacturers in 1/32 scale and the axle dia. and wheel and gear grub screw specs they use?

Having bought a few used slots at Gaydon there are some missing wheel, gear and chassis (front axle height) grub screws that need replacing as well as the odd body mounting or chassis adjustment screw.

Varying magnet size/strengths are not an issue as they'll be run magless.

Makes are:

Carrera - I think this has been fitted with NSR alloy rear wheels and tyres - but on a standard knurled axle! A plain replacement axle is required.
Ninco 'Lightning'
ScaleAuto
Scalextric/Hornby (Why are some marked Scalextric and others Hornby? Is there a difference?)
Vanquish/MG 

I already had Fly, Monogram, Revell and SCX cars which need similar info.

Is there a single replacement guide that would fit them all (or the majority) and be suitable for Scalextric Sport track?

Posting videos from YouTube to SlotRacer is very easy. It is probably the world's biggest and best known hosting site but there are many others such as Vimeo. The procedure is similar for all.
First find the video you want to post, and open it.
 
Below the video, click on the "Share" button. If you are using Vimeo then the 'share' button is on the right hand side.
   
 
   A new panel will open. Select and copy the code in the text box. 
     
On a PC you can use "Ctrl+C" on the keyboard, or right click and choose "Copy". For Android you can tap and hold in the reply box, then tap "Copy" from the toolbar. On a Mac it's "Command+C".

If you want to have the video play from a particular point, pause the video at the point of your choice. Then check the little box labelled "Start at:" and copy the new code.
   

Now sign into SlotRacer and place the cursor where you want to post the video. Click on the 'insert a video' button (circled - looks like a film strip) at the top of the reply box.
   

A drop down menu will appear. Just select the source host and paste in the previously copied link then press 'insert'. Job done - simples!
   

IMPORTANT
You must use the 'insert a video' button as described. DO NOT just paste the link into the post or the video will not embed.
Also you must delete the http:// bit in the drop down before pasting your link or it won't work.

This week - please put up your lists and suppliers for spares, parts, clever ideas for building,
