Enough is enough. Let's vote!

[the french guy]

I tried 1/43, 1/40, 1/32 (anolog an digital), 1/32 "competition" (digital system used for european endurance championship), and h0. I've got 2 tracks at home, a 4 lanes (h0) and a 3 lanes (1/32). I prefer the h0 scale

Ask another guy, he will say he preferes digital 1/32. Another one, analog 1/24. Another one, wood track 1/24 slot racing, another one, 1/40 classic french slot racing, etc, etc...

Usually, when we try to help a beginner in the slot racing forums I go, we ask him 3 things :

the room he has
the budget he has
the other friends or slot racing clubs he has in his aera.


then, we explain him the pros and cons of each scale (for example, h0 scale in france is quite unknown, so if you don't want to order online in USA you'd better choose another scale....other example, if you have a 2m x1meter room, you should choose h0 instead of bigger scales).

Finally, the guy makes his choice with all the informations we gave him. Most of the time, the guy goes naturally to the more fashionable scale of the moment (1/32 scale in europe). Sometimes, he choose another alternative. For me, it's a good guidance.


@Eflfanatic : I didn't understand that that poll was only for the mfca tournaments and ruleset. I believed it was dedicated also for a beginner guide.

Anyway, I tried to defend my foreign newbie point of view, with my little experience in other "technical" hobbies. :o Now I return to...my unlimited customized teams
