Lack of front differential springs to mind so they drive themselves off the track, or a band each side but the front axle is not a solid one. My fave rally car is the Ur quattro, maybe a crazy Kubelwagen could be built as a fun car for me, who knows.

We’ve seen a unidirectional clutched bearing on some Slotit models, designed for regulating the front wheels of 4WD cars. They’ve also done some aftermarket chassis that support these bearings for some older m Scalextric Rally cars like the RS200. Be nice if something like that could turn these models around. Thanks for watching!

Interesting review .I've yet to try these more modern scalextric rally cars . I would like to remove the band and see how they run without the front wheels being driven .....Harry

There's another question. Here in the continent, Carrera 140€, Scalextric 240€, Policar 120€. Almost for the price of a single Scalextric set I can buy Carrera and Policar together, and Scalextric's cars aren't cheaper than other slotcars. This is why I need solid justification to buy Scalextric

Price wise? Carrera. Ease of obtaining spare parts? Carrera. Selection of Buildings and accessories ? Carrera. Variety of slot cars? 50 - 50. Track connections and usability? Carrera. What am I stuck with? Unfortunately not Carrera!

Sadly, the best track surface which I believe is defunct, was SCX. in terms of realism, most real tracks have super close racing ala Scalextric which mean you can bump your opponent to upset his rhythm and perhaps knock him off the track. Carrera is beautiful track, but not as realistic in terms of clse racing (save for 1/16th). Takes up much more room, so build an insulated shed.

I loved Slot Cars when I was a kid so Im going to get back into it as a hobby. So if I go with the Scalextric cars and Carrera Track, I personally dont think I would like the thumb throttle. Are the controllers replaceable on the Carrera Tracks if I buy an aftermarket controller with the trigger?
@slotcarazing Ай бұрын
I’m not aware of an off-shelf solution for aftermarket hand controllers and Carrera Evolution, but it’s certainly possible with some small modifications. Carrera Digital has a couple of plug and play options that are definitely transformative in giving better control, I have a video discussing two of these. Thanks for watching!

good video, poor cars. Hopefully scalextrics ask themselves the same questions and will improve their design drastically otherwise I won't buy any more scalextric cars. The btcc series was nice and with disca touring car formula we actually drive these. But the money and effort you always have to invest in a scalextric to make it fun to drive is not a cool thing.

Sad to say, but I am not surprised at all. Scalextric cars are simply bad designed. Ninco cars, out of the box with the magnet removed are way better. Even the Ninco raid trucks are great....I am sure that with some third-party pieces these cars can be make to go well. But this will make an expensive slotcar to a very expensive slotcar.

Found a few loose scalextric cars on the car boot for £1 each, looks like the sell on ebay for ok money, one was a jaguar XJ220 blue number 11 livery, with lights, mika hakkinen f1 and another f1 benetton car, are these toys or decent cars? Good channel I found you while looking fir scalextric videos, very informative 👍🏻
@slotcarazing Ай бұрын
They’re toys, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be enjoyed. Slot car prices are pretty high on eBay right now so it can be difficult to determine value there. Make sure you’re checking completed listings if you want to see what people are really paying. Thanks for watching, have fun with them!

@slotcarazing 2 ай бұрын
You’ll need a Carrera chip in the Scalextric Car. My recommendation would be to use the Slotit SP43 chip which is for Carrera Digital, it’ll be easier to fit into a Scalextric than an actual Carrera chip will be. Thanks for watching, have fun!

I suggest you contact a slot car supplier directly. You’ll need to order each and every piece of track individually. Depending on the length of the track you could be looking around ten thousand, more if it’s very long and six or eight lanes.

Interesting video but I am a bit lost when it comes to the hand controller replacement you mentioned. I have tried to find them on ebay and only found two both second hand and they appeared to have a mains round pin plug attached to the end of the cable, this also confused me as my Scalextric controllers just plug into the Arc controller track! Could you give me a bit more info and maybe a link or two?
@slotcarazing 2 ай бұрын
If you’re referring to Parma then there’s every chance they’ll be hard to find now. DS is the modern equivalent for a basic resistor controller. The three pin plugs you mention are standard for clubs in the UK, they’re 2 amp fittings based on old lighting sockets. Not mains! Unfortunately ARC doesn’t allow third party connectivity but if you’re able to source an older scalex powerbase with 3.5mm audio jack sockets then you can buy something like a DS controller that’s already fitted with jack plugs from a retailer. Take a look at Pendle Slot Racing, they carry DS.

Scalextric braid & guide setup are weak not as reliable as carerra. Very annoying setup in my opinion. Scalextric has way more better car selections by far. Carerra all the way for me. I do wish sh carerra would give us an option of solid black shoulders rather than the red & white. Not a fan of the white line either. But carerra is for me.
