they stoled from the carrera s,!!!

Had the Afx and Tyco HO scale sets growing up, many great racing days from that.

@@ultralordd7625 yeah,,,,me too , I even had the Hotwheels race track,,and the cars would whip around from these 2 sponge type materials located in a overpass

Me too.

@John October I've replaced them over the years but the original ones were like you say, rock hard!

@John October I'm amazed how well the track holds up tbh! Hardly any rust on the metal rails.

My Carrera Slot Cars all have tire rot and goo coming from the Tires. I’m switching to Scalextric and selling Carrera garbage Slot Cars and Set

Digital is expensive

Just got my Peter Brock A9X two door Toranas with no problem in Melbourne.

Rip that magnet out 👍

@@beatbox894 good point or I might just find a faster pinion when I get round to it trial and error they say 👍

@@renegade-master29 it’s amazing how well they stick aye.... I dragged the old mini metros out to feel a bit of adrenaline on the lanes again haha. Fair shout, I’m very much looking forward to delving into the modding side of it all. I true my tyres and that’s about it.

@@beatbox894 same as tru and WD40 my tires bought the latest Mk 1 escort not long back it's nice for just having a quiet cruise around the track from time to time just like your daily commute to shops lol

@@beatbox894 Get racing at a club and then the fun starts on a big track and a proper controller. Best thing I ever did was racing at a club, you will be blown away how fast the cars go without magnets and the competition and modification needed to be competitive. You just can't reach those speeds at home or the experience of having to pick breaking points and having control of the breaks and throttle on your car.

If companies don’t keep up they get left behind. You can still get a digital kit for 6 cars with out the need of screens. I’m currently looking to update to the first series of digital. Very inexpensive brilliant upgrade if you got a few pals who want to race simultaneously. Ps, why is it rarely used 😔 once a month minimum for me 😝

Very very true I'm with you and welcome to the New World I did enjoy a good game of conquers in the school playground back in the 80's 🤗

@@renegade-master29 😅 this’ll make you feel old then. I was doing the same in the late 90’s while using scalextric most days. Surely though if conquers was your analogy would you not still be pushing around wooden trains 😝😉 Arcpro has an analogue feature which means running all our golden oldie vehicles is still a thing 👍

@@beatbox894 hahaha I'll have to look into that arcpro now you've said that 🤗🤖

@@beatbox894 The one that gets me is "run your model railway from your phone". WHY??????

Microchip Shortage and the War in Ukraine and NATO screwing around with China and Taiwan is what is causing all these manufacturing problems.

@Dawson O Donovan Ok cool ;) Hopefully the bridge supports are included for the different layout they show on their web site to. Happy driving ;)

SCX advance digital set and up to 9 cars on track, you might be able to get Scalextric shipped to you if you have model shop that stock it but likely all SCX in Spain.

Both are fun..I race slots in the winter. Greetings from the Great White North.

@@Dracoool well greetings to you from down south and happy holidays as well!!:)

Depends, if your racing hobby grade slot cars then you might enjoy it more. Part of the fun of slot cars is modifying them. Scalextric use to offer a racing chassis but have discontinued it. Also making challenging tracks really takes the racing up a level, the tracks you get in a scalextric set are often basic. For a proper ARC pro track layout with boarders expect to pay £1000 -2000. When you talk hobby grade RC and hobby grade slot cars standard Scalextric cars aren't really hobby grade. Why not try racing slot cars at a club? A lot of clubs do race Scalextric cars like btcc or gt and will allow modifications to the cars.

@@SlotCar2021 ...I race on a four lane wooden track with no magnets..we also built a drag strip with a real tree..most of the cars are modified within strict rules..we do race stock Scalextric as well..Slotit..NSR..and some vintage classes too. You are right working on the cars is part of the fun.

@@Dracoool very nice, I am looking to join a local club with a wooden track. I have a modified rally scalextric start car running without a magnet on sport track and have just finished a pendle mini which is running without a magnet no weight, slot.it motor mount with a 20k mabuchi motor and it is faster than a scalextric with a strong magnet. I also have Tamiya DTM 1/10 scale mercedes stock 540 motor running old radio controller and a RIP max Husky 1/24 scale truck with aluminium chassis, upgraded metal shocks and drive shaft. I don't race RC just have fun with them.

To be fair if your running ARC pro I can't see how that isn't fun. Buy some more track, add jumps, add hairpins. If you have basic set then expand it.

No worries, found it - it's by Revell

Lots of other makes available to race with a more inspired range of classics. Revell Monogram not the greatest running though. Also finished production about ten years ago.

Hi Will, we are sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Arc Pro set. Please get in contact with our customer services, details can be found here: support.scalextric.com/hc/en-gb/sections/360004555340-Contact-Us

Does anyone know what the price is on this platinum digitaL pro is

Hi Ronald, we have a range of cars available on our website: uk.scalextric.com/catalogue/cars Thanks for watching!

@@OfficialScalextric hey are you able to give me a listing of two cars that will work on my Scalextric pro platinum ,cause I can't find the digital cars

@@ronaldwilson3932 just buy any car that is digital plug ready and get a chip for it. If you look on the tech specs on the website it should say dpr and yes next to it.

Buy secondhand and it's not expensive at all. There is skill in driving and winning races. Scalextric is more of a toy, if you want to get into proper racing then you can scratch build cars or modify scalextric cars with aftermarket chassis, motors and run them without magnets. The older 6 car digital bases can be hooked up to pc and you can use race control systems. There are also clubs all over so that is a cheap way into it and they usually run wooden tracks. You can get a large Arc pro layout for £300 with 6 cars and 6 controllers or run an analogue set up on Arc air for about half that. You could also run 6 car old digital system for as little as £150, best thing to do is look secondhand.

I didn't have issues for a while but the other day it just didn't work. Magic app works every single time without issue.

That was first said forty years ago with RC booming. But Scalextric and many new slot makes still here.

It’s called slot car racing for a reason.

Agree, they could do with a bigger range of classics. I guess they are missing out on your money. I think Scalextric are sitting firmly in the toy / collector market with the ARC pro as more serious option for racing. If only they had kept producing their performance chassis. It is still a great system overall for the price. I have carrera too and that is very nice and a beautiful build quality. I haven't tried Ninco but have heard good things.
