Son : Dslot43 test drives are popular at this show too. Everyone's super keen. I want to have a go too.

Father : We could probably setup a starter set at our place so we could develop some skills.

Son : By the way, how come that guy's controller doesn't have a cable? Look! He's walking all around the place and still driving.

Father : He must be using the new 2.4GHz frequency KSD-01 Digital Wireless Controller. Son : Is that the same as an R/C car transmitter?

Son : Is that the same as an R/C car transmitter?

Father : I'll have to ask someone from Kyosho.

Kyosho Staff : The KSD-01 shares the acceleration adjustment with the high point setting familiar to R/C car transmitters as well as a punch function that sets the response speed and a brake adjustment function that sets the level of braking power. With the partial throttle function, braking characteristics can be relaxed when the magnetic downforce is still effective to reproduce coasting when throttle trigger is free. The memory allows up to 50 different settings to be stored. This function is valued highly by slot car fans and is increasingly used at competitive circuits.

Son : Theres more slot cars in this corner.

Kyosho Staff : From this Autumn, Kyosho will be distributing the German brand Carrera. With a reputation also built over 50 years, the name Carrera is synonymous in Europe with slot cars. With 1/32, 1/43 and 1/24 scale models, Carrera also has both analog and digital versions in its lineup. With the digital models, you can change lanes with a push on the controller button.

Father : Really? It's a bit like an R/C car isn't it?

Kyosho Staff : Just like a train changing tracks, where there is a section of track with an X crossing, the car can move into the next lane with a well timed push of a button on the controller. With this function, up to six cars can race on a two-lane track with the added excitement of overtaking. This ‘GO!!!’ Series is being released as a race course set including two Formula racers at a great value price. I recommend this strongly for beginners.

Father : Another brand that I can't resist. I could seriously get into slot cars.

Son : Let's get Mom involved too!
