The parent in our tester-family said it best: "I played with something like this as a kid, although not as good." The same basic thrill you might remember from slot-car racing of yore is still the best part of the SCX Slot Car line, but there are little innovations like its deluxe tracks and meticulously detailed racers that make them instant-heirlooms for your grandchildren. There are analog and digital sets; the latter allows up to six players on the same circuit, and each car is perfectly modeled after real Nascar and Formula One racers. For a big holiday gift with a moderate price tag but exceptional wow-factor, we recommend the SCX Compact Nascar Tri-Oval Super Speedway Set, which comes with two Nascar racers and two analog controllers.
