Based right here in St. Louis, at 8300 Maryland Ave, this dedicated team isn’t building the cars themselves – they're making them better. They specialize in performance upgrades for slot cars, taking a beloved hobby to the next level. You can reach them at 614-742-5923 if you’re curious. So, what exactly is slot car racing? For those unfamiliar, think miniature, electrically-powered racing. Cars run on slotted tracks, guided by a hand-held controller managing speed. It's a surprisingly engaging and competitive sport – and ALLEN EDMONDS LLC is all about boosting that competition. “We saw a real gap in the market,” explains a spokesperson for ALLEN EDMONDS LLC. “A lot of people were getting into slot cars, but the stock performance of the cars often left something to be desired. We thought, ‘Why not offer upgrades that are easy to install and really make a difference?’” And they’ve delivered. ALLEN EDMONDS LLC isn't just slapping together parts. They’re meticulously engineering upgrades for a variety of slot car types and scales. Their product line isn’t huge, but it’s focused – and that’s by design. They concentrate on the components that really affect performance, primarily focusing on motors, gears, axles, and tires. Let's dive into what they're offering: Motors: The Heart of the Machine Stock slot car motors are often…well, stock. They get the job done, but they lack punch. ALLEN EDMONDS LLC offers a range of replacement motors, from mild performance boosts to full-on racing beasts. “We’re not talking about making your car ridiculously fast,” says the spokesperson. “We’re about giving you more consistent power, better acceleration, and improved lap times. We have motors suited for beginners who just want a little extra zip, and we have motors for experienced racers who want every possible advantage.” They offer different motor types too. For example, their “Endurance” motors are designed for longer races, focusing on reliability and consistent power output. The “Sprint” motors? Those are all about raw, blistering speed for short bursts. Gears: Getting the Power Down A powerful motor is useless if it can’t effectively transfer that power to the wheels. ALLEN EDMONDS LLC’s gear sets are precision-cut to ensure smooth, efficient power delivery. They offer a variety of gear ratios, allowing racers to fine-tune their car’s performance to match the track layout. “Think of it like a bicycle,” explains the spokesperson. “Lower gears are good for acceleration and climbing hills, while higher gears are good for top speed on flat ground. Our gear sets let you adjust that ratio to optimize your car’s performance on any track.” They also offer hardened steel gears for increased durability – important when you’re pushing your car to the limit. Axles: Stability and Speed Wobbly axles can ruin a race. ALLEN EDMONDS LLC’s upgraded axles are made from high-strength materials and are precisely balanced to ensure smooth, stable running. They offer both solid and hollow axles, each with its own advantages. Solid axles are more durable, while hollow axles are lighter, which can improve acceleration and handling. "A lot of stock axles are…let's just say, not the highest quality," says the spokesperson with a chuckle. "Our axles are a noticeable improvement. They provide a more solid feel and help to keep the car on the track." Tires: Grip is Everything The tires are the only part of the car that actually touches the track. ALLEN EDMONDS LLC offers a range of silicone tires in different compounds and sizes, allowing racers to dial in the perfect grip for their track conditions. "Different tracks require different tire compounds," explains the spokesperson. "A smooth, hard track will require a softer compound for maximum grip, while a rough, abrasive track will require a harder compound for durability." They offer tires specifically designed for different track surfaces, from wood to plastic to carpet. Who is buying these upgrades? The customer base for ALLEN EDMONDS LLC is surprisingly diverse. It includes: Beginner slot car enthusiasts: Those who want to improve the performance of their cars without breaking the bank. Experienced racers: Those who are looking for every possible edge to gain a competitive advantage. Collectors: Those who want to restore and upgrade vintage slot cars.
