Hi thank you for all you are sharing. I'm considering getting in the hobby with Carrera digital and was wondering if you could tell me if it would be more cost effective to buy 2 sets or just one and buy separately to expand the track cars and controllers? Also how many feet of track do you need to make it interesting? Thanks Mark

[@tomsidener]

I found it more cost effective at the time I bought my track, to buy 2 sets. I wanted 4 wireless controllers and an extra lane changer so that kind of sealed the two set decision for me. I also highly modified my control unit so it was good to have the extra, in case I messed it up. I do recommend trying to find the sets on sale. I currently have a 30 foot track but plan to expand it eventually once I move it to another room. That being said if you are racing with the pit lane, any length is interesting (and challenging) because you have to make split second decisions on whether to pit or try and push it to the next lap. Keep in mind that the control unit does not have the ability to show you the level of the gas tank so I recommend an app for that.

Great thank you for taking the time to reply. I was thinking that but wasn't quite sure. We'll see if I make the plunge here soon? Thanks again Mark

These are the 2 sets I ended up buying Race to Victory amzn.to/3Vx4MZo Bull and Horse amzn.to/4ahrEAa

@@tomsidener Thank you for that as well. I did have my eye on the Race to Victory so the other is very helpful. I'm also trying to decide how time consuming all the track cleaning, maintenance and tire truing might be.

@@mkoehler222 ​@mkoehler222 I had a scalextric years ago and the track cleaning and maintenance on the carrera is way less. I think it is because Carrera has stainless steel rails. I do a little tire truing but I do not get crazy with it. Must of my cars run just fine without it.
