I just came across this video slot car review and it was posted on Youtube 6 days ago.
Interesting that the title says "Japan's entry into the slot car world" - yet I did a search and some forums were discussing the G-Slot brand back in 2009?!
Personally, I had never heard of the brand until I came across this video.
Oh well, enjoy the video just the same!
Thank you.

G-slot has been out since 2009. They are not scaled 1/32 but are closer to 1/28.

That's the first car I recall coming with a spare set of racing tires. With some tuning & trued tires, you'd probably end up with a fine running race car. The odd scale could limit its usage.

I dunno, 1/28 scale is pretty close to what we call 1/24 scale (and I'm talking slot cars only, not model kits).
I am not a doctor, but I played one as a child with the girl next door.

It would have been nice to have someone review the car that actually knows slot cars! Cool looking but I agree with Bill--ODD scale size will not help sell this unique design. But his "man room" is totally cool!!
