Scalextric after 40 years of making the old plastic track decided in 2003 to change the texture and the way the track joins together. The track is the same width and smoother which allows a better grip. There is also a deeper slot for the guide pin. The join has been changed to enable the track to be put together and pulled apart more easily. The old track - which is still available is called "Classic" and the new track is called "Sport". There is an adaptor track (Code C8222) to join the different types together. The new Scalextric electronic lap counter/timer includes the adaptor track. SCX track joins directly onto the old Scalextric Classic track. Ninco is wider than Scalextric / SCX however it enables F1 cars to corner together. The Ninco chicane will join Scalextric Classic and SCX track together. All Scalextric sets with the new Sport track now have braking built into the hand controls. This is an option on most SCX sets and standard on all Ninco sets. We stock a complete range of Carrera track. Carrera track uses stainless steel in the rails on the track and it will not rust like the other brands. We have a Digital Carrera track set up in the shop for customers to use. We stock a complete range of Scalextric, SCX and Ninco Track. All the cars in the 1/32 scale?Scalextric, SCX, Fly, Ninco, Spirit, Carrera and Revell will run on all of the above tracks - with the exclusion of the Trucks by FLY and Go-Karts by Ninco which will only run on Carrera and Ninco track because they are too wide for the narrower Scalextric and SCX track.

A track plan booklet by Scalextric is available at the shop - 31 different track plans are included with 4 lane layouts.

In 2004 Scalextric introduced the world to Digital Slot Car Racing. With Digital control you can have up to 6 cars racing in a lane at the same time all with individual control. There are lane changing sections to enable the driver to swap lanes. The Digital controllers have 3 controls - brake, lane change and throttle. It uses standard Scalextric Sport track. Old cars can be fitted with a decoder to make them into digital control. There is a conversion set to enable you to upgrade your old track to digital or you can buy a complete digital starter set. We sell and stock Carrera Digital and Ninco Digital sets and track. Try out the Carrera Digital system on the shop display. SCX Digital Slot Car sets, cars, track and accessories are available to special order at reduced prices.
