A decade or more ago, when I was more actively running my cars and track, there were a fair amount of slot car YouTube videos online. Obviously there are even more today--but one major difference is that it's not just individual hobbyists uploading race videos, but help folks sharing their knowledge about how to build and tune cars, create tracks and scenery, print 3D parts and accessories, and much more. Better yet, most of these people have created their own video channels, so the number and quality of what's available is really better than ever.

One of my current favorites is John Kit, whose Scale Car Garage show appears on his Fast Sports Channel. John's videos are fun and packed with helpful and easy-to-understand information. He's covered diverse hobby topics like car building, casting car bodies and track figures, and shared a number of interesting slot projects he's been working on--including adding scenery to his own track, Kit's Spa. Another great thing about John's videos is that he doesn't assume his audience are slot car experts, so he doesn't use a lot of hobby jargon that many newbies might not understand.
Watch any of his videos, and it's easy to tell John enjoys his hobby as well as sharing it with others. It's also nice that over the years, he's taken the time to share his hobby with his daughter, who's become quite a talented car builder in her own right!
Whether you're a seasoned slot driver or a newcomer to the hobby, I encourage you to drop in at the Scale Car Garage and catch some of the action. I'm sure you'll have a good time.
