High Speed Thrills with Scalextric

Slot cars are those model electric cars that run on slotted track that keeps them from flying off. Scalextric are probably the best known manufacturer of slot car racing sets, cars and equipment.

Slot car racing is an engrossing, fun, safe and cheap hobby enjoyed by many thoursands of people. I’m sure that many people can remember the fun and thrills they had as children with their Scalextric sets. You will find that the Scalextric system hasn’t really fundamentally changed much since the 1950s. Old Scalextric cars from that early era are eagerly sought by slot car enthusiasts and good quality models can change hands for significant sums of money.It’s even possible to run those old Scalextric slot cars on modern track without having to modify the cars at all.

But todays Scalextric systems have entered the computer age with the introduction of the Sport digital systems. The original Scalextric systems would allow two cars to run alongside one another along dedicated tracks but the new digital system allows more than one car to share the same track and enables cars to change lanes. These new and innovative features provide a whole new level of fun and enjoyment which has helped the hobby to develop considerably in recent years.

Although it was originally a British invention Scalextric now has a huge and enthusiastic following in the United States. There are Scalextric representations of many popular races including the Indycar and NASCAR. One key factor that has helped to develop the popularity of Scalextric is that they actually encourage other manufacturers to produce slot cars and accessories for their systems. These days there are a variety of reputabel slot car manufacturers who produce some great cars suitable for Scalextric.

Another key aspect of Scalextric systems that make them appealing is that it is easy to start small and then expand. You can get a good starter system for as little as £40 ($70). Even the basic introductory system has everything you need to really enjoy the thrill of slot car racing.

There are many clubs for slot car racing enthusiasts where you can meet and learn from others who are keen on this engrossing hobby. There are many slot car racing meets throughout the year at various locations both in the UK and the US. Slot car enthusiasts often become involved in modifying their cars and optimising their motors, wheels and bearings for best performance.

If you are interested in getting into slot car racing I’d recommend starting with a low priced Scalextric Start Race Set and if you enjoy it then find a local slot car club to join. You’ll get to meet some exceptionally friendly people who are always happy to provide newcomers to the sport the benefit of their experience and skills.
