| On offer at 25% discount - limited to current stocks Building on the huge success and popularity of the Aspects of Modelling series designed primarily for railway modellers, Ian Allan Publishing is now extending the coverage of the series to encompass some of the other most popular hobby modelling areas. The first of these titles looks in detail at an area of increasing popularlty worldwide, that of slot car racing, which is practised both at an organised club level, but also at home using Scalextric and other similar manufacturers' products. Most of those pursuing the hobby quickly move on from just racing cars to want to learn how to improve the performance of their cars, control systems (including computer applications), track layouts, power supplies, driving skills, etc. There is a wealth of advice in the community on these subjects, but this book brings together all this disparate knowledge into one practical ‘how to' volume. The practical features are illustrated by a fantastic range of photographs, diagrams and plans showing players how to make the most of their racing circuit design. Contents:
