This is a thorny subject! Slot cars may seem expensive,but if you look at the prices of some statics (which tend to be 1/43rd and you could argue do nothing*),then perhaps they don't look so bad. I would also imagine actually assembling a mass-produced slot car takes a bit more work-soldering wires to motors etc. Having said that,I still think some "specialist" slot cars are silly prices-and yet they still sell. As with Forbidden Planet type products,If people will buy them,who can blame the makers for selling them?

*I mean no criticism of static collectors-if I had the space and the budget,I would have lots of statics!
