What an utterly brilliant idea!

That sums up my childhood in the sixties, a Mamod TE1 and Scalextric - brilliant!

Why is this not on the TV? beats F1 any day. This is what makes the Great Britain great.

Mamod Scalextric? LOL It's wonderful to watch.

Faster moving than I'd ever imagined 😊

Yeah they run surprisingly well on the track. The roller when it was first fired up was so fast it was out of control and had to be stopped from flying off the table on the tight curve. The little wiggle in the track before the tight bend is to slow them before they hit this point. Having seen this I am really inspired to build even a small version of this for my own Mamods. Thanks for your comment. 👍

This video pleases me so much, Mamod mated with Scalextric, what's not to like?!. I remember my Dad having a Mamod like the first one we see (but it had a "roof") when I was kid, but it wasn't that easy to use within the confines of the house or garden. A track setup like this with that clever guide at the front would have kept us entertained for hours and hours😁👍

You're quite right, they had a removable canopy- you could run them with it on or off.

Are they using slicks, or full wets.

ha ha ha ha that's different, my grandad used to drive a real one for threshing

Wish I'd thought of that.

I wonder if this could be made to work with standard Scalextric track unpowered, similar guide frame but offset?

Hi, Thanks for you comment. The groove is a lot bigger and deeper than on Scalextric and the Mamod has a lot of force behind it. Even on this one of them was trying to carry on straight on the tight bend, so unfortunately I doubt it would work. 👍👍👍
