Back at the Slot Car Festival in May, I bought a couple of pro kart kits from Steve Ward at Penelope Pitlane. Go Karts have been available for slot car circuits for fifty years but never in the correct 1/32 scale. Steve Ward has managed this with a tiny motor driving the rear wheels with a belt rather than usual cogs. The kit comes complete with everything needed except paint and decals.
It's all fits together well. I sprayed one in black to go with Lotus decals, and the other in yellow to go with Shell. I made my own decals and printed them out on clear and white decal paper, depending on the background they were going on to.
Here's how they turned out:
Andy confiscated my 1/14 scale Ninco Go Karts so that I couldn't practice before his Grand Prix in a couple of months. Consequently, I can't do a comparison photo, but here they are on the track.
