Portland, OR – November 8, 2023 – ALKALI PARTNERS LLC, a US-based supplier dedicated to bringing quality and innovation to niche hobbies, is thrilled to announce a significant expansion of its product line focused on slot car enthusiasts. Based in Portland, Oregon (500 SW 116 AVE, #552, Portland, OR, 97210, UNITED STATES, contact 218-891-7667), ALKALI PARTNERS has quickly become a go-to source for hard-to-find and performance-enhancing accessories within the slot car community. We're not just selling parts; we’re fueling a passion. For those unfamiliar, slot cars are miniature, guided racing cars that run on specially designed tracks. It’s a hobby that blends the excitement of racing with the meticulousness of building and customizing. It’s a blast for all ages, and ALKALI PARTNERS is committed to keeping the fun rolling. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a representative from ALKALI PARTNERS. “There were plenty of places to buy the cars and basic track sets, but finding really good accessories – the stuff that lets you tune, upgrade, and personalize your setup – was tough. We decided to change that.” And they have. ALKALI PARTNERS is now stocking a comprehensive range of slot car accessories, covering everything from performance upgrades to aesthetic enhancements. Here's a closer look at what they're offering: Performance Parts – Get That Extra Edge Let’s face it, everyone wants to be faster.

High-Performance Tires: Forget those hard plastic wheels that just spin. ALKALI PARTNERS offers a wide selection of silicone and rubber tires, available in various compounds (hardness) to suit different track surfaces and car types.

"We're seeing people really respond to the different tire compounds – it's a game changer," says the ALKALI PARTNERS representative.
