About WikiSlot
If you collect slot cars, you have probably felt overwhelmed at some point with the amount of models, brands and versions that have been released over the years.
Slot Cars have been produced for more than 80 years by, literally, hundreds of brands.
Some of them have disappeared, some have changed owners, some didn't pay too much attention on their catalog and just released cars without even a reference (or different car variations with the same reference)
Keeping a Slot Car collection organized it's not an easy task. We are going to try to make that a bit easier by creating this online database of slot cars released by brand.
By no means this is an easy task, but we think the effort is worth it. If you think you can help us with more info about some brand, pictures you might have or just to say hello please write us a line to [email protected].
How can you help?
If you have information (preferably in xls, csv or similar) about cars and it's not in our database or you think it can improve what we already have, please write us a line.
Also please consider taking a look to our books and product recommendations in Amazon, if you buy any of them you will help keeping the lights on.
And if you feel extra generous please consider supporting us in Patreon for just 2€/month

Model Racing: A Retro Realistic Slot Car Story
BUILD - RACE - WIN - REPEAT...The Rise & Fall of the Golden Years of Slot Car Racing Explained. Text includes articles from the main magazines of the period. Also includes a Worldwide Racing Directory, listing active slot car raceways from different countries in 5 continents...! By 1966, model-car racing was so popular that it threatened to replace bowling as the nation’s favorite indoor sport. For as grand as the outcome, the force that propelled slot-car racing into a national pastime was a simple one: the realism of the original slot cars. The builders and racers of these models knew that the quest for speed should not come at the cost of the way a car looked. Their design was at the heart of their very integrity. In this new effort, author, researcher and slot-car racer Carlo Tonalezzi charts the meteoric rise of this hobby-sport and photographs classic model racing cars in their natural habitat: The commercial racing tracks. Models made by Russkit, AMT, COX, MPC, Monogram, and more are captured on vintage tracks from the American Model Car Raceways. These realistic beauties were made during the Golden Years of Model Racing. True pieces of Americana, they are today as magnificent as ever. Read all about what really happened during this exciting period of model racing
