I hope you kept the slot car set HK...be worth a mint now.
Nope. It wore out to the extent that the chrome contact strips on the track were worn through. Had lots of fun with it. When rally cross at Katoomba was on TV I even created jumps etc. and lots of mods to the cars. Even bigger electric motors.
As luck would have it, I still have my 70's era "Scalextric Super Speed" car set (complete inc transformer). Box is a little worse for wear, but all there.

I have no idea if it's worth anything as like yours HK, it got well used. It was the NASAR style track with banked corners, but we could still get them to crash off....Arh the fun. I also modded the set. When I got bored going in circles, I pulled the track apart and used the straits to make a drag strip...Even more fun. Wish I'd gotten into engine mods too then like you HK.
