It became available to the public in October of that year and used a much smaller track geometry to the standard Scalextric product. Many of the Micro MR-1 models were re-badged products manufactured by Marchon, Inc. In 1995, again at the Olympia toy fair, a new track system was introduced along with new vehicles.
A typical, 1:32 scale, Audi R8R slot car by Carrera Slot cars are usually models of actual automobiles, though some have bodies purpose-designed for miniature racing. Most enthusiasts use commercially available slot cars (often modified for better performance), others motorize static models, and some "scratch-build", creating their own mechanisms and bodies from basic parts and materials.
In 1960, the company branched out into electric car racing toys similar to Scalextric but whereas Scalextric adopted the popular 1/32 scale, Wrenn produced their "Formula 152 model racing system" to 1/52, and with a twin conductor rail on each side of the 'slot' the system was capable of running three cars at a time on each lane.
A team of model makers have spent hundreds of hours recreating a Scalextric version of the iconic Silverstone circuit - home of the British Grand Prix. The 82ft-long detailed replica is made up of ...
The sidewinder and to an extent the anglewinder configurations are often seen as superior for slot racing cars. This is because when accelerating, the reverse torque of the motor transfers weight to the front of the vehicle, and therefore the guide that keeps it on the track. This allows the slot racer to accelerate through corners.
To bring back racing to the former race track of Brooklands in Surrey, James May decides to rebuild the track in Scalextric, while training up a team of volunteer racers to compete against a team of experienced Scalextric racers. For his expert engineer and designer, the challenges of building the track include dealing with busy roads, a lake ...
Scalextric Digital allows you to race multiple cars on any lane with the ability to switch lanes and overtake with the press of a button on your hand controller. Scalextric Digital uses the exact same track pieces as the standard analogue system but with additional items such as lane changers, powerbase and controllers.
A track geometry car (also known as a track recording car) is an automated track inspection vehicle on a rail transport system used to test several parameters of the track geometry without obstructing normal railroad operations. Some of the parameters generally measured include position, curvature, alignment of the track, smoothness, and the ...
