Hi Guys,  Coming from Scalextric in HO scale:


Star Wars Sets Available Mid-August!
Scalextric produces a new way to play with slot cars. Instead of the standard race game, the “Death Star Attack” is all about knocking your opponent off the track! This pursuit game provides two different starting points on the layout; the spaceships try to catch up to the enemy for a downright battle! Speeding around the glow-in-the-dark track and through the Death Star, the box the set comes in transforms into part of the adventure. A fight to the death, which will bring a smile to the victor’s face.
  Product Code: G1084T     MSRP: $99.99
Pre Orders welcome.  See you soon.  Joe

Hi Guys,  Some interesting new HO products:
In the store:  A needlepoint oiler (or whatever you want it for) with a protective cover for the needle.  I don’t know about you but I am forever dropping my oiler bottle and breaking the tip or bending it totally out of shape.  This new 2 ounce poly oiler bottle comes with a cap that covers the entire needle.  $3.00 and in stock.

A plastic replacement tip for your broken metal oiler tip.  Made for the smaller 1 ounce clear plastic bottle this plastic tip is yet another solution to the broken oiler tip problem.  $3.00 each

I have been sealing decals on my slot cars for years using a liquid polymer that you can apply with a Q-tip and, since it is self leveling, it dries to a smooth, even, hard, clear finish in less than an hour.  I have cars I sealed years ago and the finish is still intact and never yellowed.  I like this much better than clear sprays which often run or go on too thick.  A one ounce bottle is $5.99 and should be good for dozens of slot cars.

Back in stock:  GoGo Terminator tires and GoGo race bodies.  We stock GoGo, Greg’s Garage and Boneshaker ECHORR and Fray approved bodies.
Coming soon from Super Tires:  Super Tires, best known for their ‘no tear’ 1/32 and HO silicone tires is testing and close to releasing a line of rounded edge silicone tires for the Tuff Ones/JL/AW rear wheels.  Currently being tested are tires in the .428 (too low and probably will not be made) through .460 sizes.  Super tires anticipates making these tires in both Compound A (what you usually buy from me) and in a new compound aimed at the Fray and ECHORR racers.  Availability and price will be announced as soon as I have more information. 
A reminder:  The new NJhobby.net website is up and growing.  The site is currently at over 80 pages with more being added daily.  Coming soon  -a return of the Friday night race reports.  Stop by and check it out soon. 
We are currently trying to develop a manageable way to list/show our 100’s of vintage HO cars on the website.  If you have special wants please give a call.
The race schedule for the last 2 months of the HO season will be posted by this weekend.  Check the website.
See you soon.   Joe
