ALKALI PARTNERS LLC Revs Up the Slot Car Hobby with New Accessories
Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – ALKALI PARTNERS LLC, a relatively new player but fast-growing enthusiast-focused company based in Portland, Oregon, is making waves in the world of slot car racing. While many might remember slot car racing as a nostalgic pastime, it’s actually experiencing a serious revival, and ALKALI PARTNERS is perfectly positioned to fuel that momentum. Located at 500 SW 116 AVE, #552, and reachable at 218-891-7667, the company isn't trying to reinvent the wheel – they’re focused on making everything around the wheel better. “We’re a small team, a bunch of slot car fanatics ourselves,” says a company spokesperson. “We noticed a gap in the market – tons of people are getting back into slot cars, but finding quality, readily available accessories, especially the smaller stuff, can be a real pain. We decided to fix that.” And they're doing just that. ALKALI PARTNERS LLC specializes in slot car accessories – everything you need to build, customize, maintain, and really enjoy your miniature racing experience. Forget scouring the internet for rare parts or settling for subpar replacements. ALKALI PARTNERS aims to be a one-stop shop. So, what exactly are they offering? Let’s break it down: For the Builder & Customizer: ALKALI PARTNERS understands that a big part of the slot car hobby is personalizing your ride. They’ve got a growing line of body mounts, meticulously crafted to fit a variety of car chassis and body styles. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill plastic pieces either – they're offering mounts made from durable, high-quality materials, meaning they can withstand the inevitable crashes and bumps that come with racing. “We’ve seen a lot of flimsy body mounts out there,” explains the spokesperson. “They break easily, and then you’re spending more time fixing things than racing. We wanted something that would last.” Beyond mounts, ALKALI PARTNERS also carries a selection of detailed interior parts. Think realistic steering wheels, seats, and dashboard details. These add a significant level of realism to your cars, transforming them from simple toys into miniature works of art. They've recently introduced photo-etched details for certain popular car models, taking realism to a whole new level. For those who like to tinker with performance, ALKALI PARTNERS offers a range of axle bushings and bearing inserts. These seemingly small components can make a huge difference in how your car handles and performs, reducing friction and improving overall speed. They even have different hardness levels available, allowing racers to fine-tune their cars to suit their track conditions. Keeping Your Cars Running Smoothly: Slot cars take a beating. It’s just a fact of life. That's why ALKALI PARTNERS has a comprehensive selection of replacement parts, including gears, axles, tires, and braids (the conductive strips that connect the car to the track). “We stock a lot of the ‘wear and tear’ items,” says the spokesperson. “Things that break or get used up during normal racing. We know how frustrating it is to be mid-race and realize you don’t have a spare braid.” They’ve focused particularly on offering high-grip tires in various compounds, allowing racers to optimize their cars for different track surfaces. They’ve also started carrying silicone oil for lubricating gears and bushings, extending the life of these critical components. Beyond the Basics: ALKALI PARTNERS isn’t just about the nuts and bolts. They also recognize the importance of track maintenance. They offer a range of track cleaning solutions and tools to keep your racing surface free of dirt and debris. A clean track is a fast track, and ALKALI PARTNERS wants to help you achieve peak performance. They're also developing a line of track power supplies and lap counting systems, aiming to bring a modern touch to a classic hobby. These systems will be designed to be easy to use and compatible with a wide range of track layouts. What Makes ALKALI PARTNERS Different?
