SLOT CAR WITH SPIN-OUT RECOVERY SYSTEM

摘要

A slot car and track system that can simulate a slot car spin-out delay while avoiding the need to manually re-align the slot car on the track. The spin-out delay is created using a guide that extends from the slot car into the slot car track. The guide triggers electronics when the slot car chassis achieves a turning angle near that necessary to cause a spin-out. Once triggered, the electronics cease power to the slot car motor for a specified period of time. Once the time has elapsed, power is once again restored to the slot car motor. Because power to the slot car motor is ceased before the slot car spins-out or becomes detached from the track, manual re-alignment of the slot car on the track is unnecessary.

主权项

1. A slot car with spin-out recovery system, the slot car comprising:
a) a slot car track having at least one slot; b) a slot car chassis; c) at least one drive motor; and d) at least one guide extending distally from the chassis, the at least one guide attached to an electronic array that ceases power to the at least one drive motor for a set period of time if the at least one guide triggers at least one micro-switch when the slot car is at a predetermined degree of turn.
