Scalextric Porsche 991 STRIP & PREP
Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
In this video I prepare a Scalextric Porsche 991 RSR for competition. This is a basic "blueprinting" race prep for a box-stock club racing class in the UK. The only parts swap is the addition of polyurethane rear tyres, where all other modifications are simply to tune the existing chassis for preferable performance.

SCALEXTRIC vs CARRERA - The Ultimate Test!
Просмотров 444 тыс.3 года назад
It's common for people new to the world of 1:32 slot cars to ask the question; should they buy a set from Scalextric, or Carrera? In this video, cars and track from both brands will be put head to head, and given in-depth analysis to determine what's on offer.

Carrera make the best track .but both brands of cars are crap if you want to drive them.Thats compared to Slot it ,Avant slot ,NSR and thunder slot .
Man, this is a whole new universe opening up for me. I´m old but never knew this time of pre-RC was still such an elaborate scene. Love it, never stop.
Interesting video but I am a bit lost when it comes to the hand controller replacement you mentioned. I have tried to find them on ebay and only found two both second hand and they appeared to have a mains round pin plug attached to the end of the cable, this also confused me as my Scalextric controllers just plug into the Arc controller track! Could you give me a bit more info and maybe a link or two?
If you’re referring to Parma then there’s every chance they’ll be hard to find now. DS is the modern equivalent for a basic resistor controller. The three pin plugs you mention are standard for clubs in the UK, they’re 2 amp fittings based on old lighting sockets. Not mains! Unfortunately ARC doesn’t allow third party connectivity but if you’re able to source an older scalex powerbase with 3.5mm audio jack sockets then you can buy something like a DS controller that’s already fitted with jack plugs from a retailer. Take a look at Pendle Slot Racing, they carry DS.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe 🚗🚗👍👍😎😎
The first advice I would give anybody is NOT TO BUY CARS... 😬😬😬
Carrera lane changing. Enough said!
Cheers 👍
Thanx for that 👍
PLEASE TELL ME WHICH TOYBRANDS are compatibile with old 1/32 Polistil. I'm restoring a toytrack... then there have to run toys!
Recenctly started using a Glue Gun, impressed so far 👍
Great video, really learnt a lot from this
Do you have a list of good tires by scale ?thanks😊
Tyres really can be a minefield, I have a video covering some different kinds for 1/32 but it’s quite vague as there’s just too much to cover in detail. There’s so many factors to consider it’s impossible to give general recommendations. Thanks for watching
50 odd years ago, the first thing we bought was more track. And, MORE track. Design a new layout,.. Damn, we're a curve and two straights short. Jump in the car, off to the nearest (rural) town. Rinse and, repeat. Spent as much on petrol, driving to the shop.
Very informative...😊
ALL 2 TRUE....BUT I LOVE MY COLOSSAL COLLECTION 2 CHOSE FRIM...😊
Scalextric braid & guide setup are weak not as reliable as carerra. Very annoying setup in my opinion. Scalextric has way more better car selections by far. Carerra all the way for me. I do wish sh carerra would give us an option of solid black shoulders rather than the red & white. Not a fan of the white line either. But carerra is for me.
Thanks, excellent comparison review between the two brands, to my mind both are good! For myself I am happy staying Scalextric but got say will definitely have a go with Carrera at some time in the future, happy racing
"Profesional"... un slot es un juguete, y eso es bonito. Querer ponerse elitista y autodenominarse "pro" sin ganar un sueldo, sólo porque se hacen modificaciones en los coches, es ridículo, y da para que cualquier mecánico se pueda carcajear.
Nice to see most of the best brands are still Italian 💪🏻
There should be competitions on who can assemble and dissemble ready to put away the quickest!!! Would take a stoner or Elder hours to set up 😂😂😂 but I think simple is a sales pitch!
still running stock rubber tires on my Carrera's. But I do have some silicone coming to give a go. We may run silicone's on our GT cars.
OMG That is an awesome track! Suzuka is the track I want to recreate. My poor bank account!

Im not sure why this video is not as popular with only 6 comments. This is so important when racing on a commercial track. Every gram counts. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks for your comment! I can understand why the average viewer might find this video a little less interesting than some of my others but even I surprised myself with some of the findings made during filming. You’re right, every gram counts! Thanks for watching
Great review, however to have an accurate result, you would have to do this with multiple sets of cars, as not all motors are created equal.
How did you connect the lighting from the Carrera vehicle at the Scalextric Digital Decoder?
wow we can see who is a scalextric fan, and cant drive a real slotcar (Carrera)
Solid explanation
Is it possible to run Scalextric car on the Carrera trac?
Beautiful infos
I need the Disney Track Sets by Carrera, so i can do a real track, yours is just a street. For Digital too, 10 meters total, for me, how i arrange the track, G Forces, science, running the track on ARM. I suggest Carrera 1.32
Pliers are "long-nose" NOT side cutters and needle nose which are entirely different tools
owning scalextrix in the past; I find the the carrera cars to be more quality build.(using brass bearings for the axles instead of running them straight through the plastic for example)

They both cost about the same in the U.S., thanks to retailers gouging the prices on TruSpeeds. They're padding in the extortionate international shipping charge they paid and passing that on to customers.
Thank you, Gary, for the information. You pointed out a lot of items i wouldnt have thought of being a new slot car enthusiast.
I used to work in a toy shop. It was in the late 90s... We sold way more Carrera cars than Scalextric despite them being more money at that time.
I used to buy my slot cars from AUTO WORLD magazine 1960's...
I use Carrera, never have used Scalextric.
As long as you race like cars then there will be fair. ITs the same with all classes of cars. Parma, Flexie, and so on. Also I miss country of manufacture. Scalextric is made in China, Carrera made in Germany.
So don't collect cars but collect controllers. The worst start to a how too video in 2024 😂😂😂
Yea no shit 🤣🤣🤣 I thought he was gonna say add more track and shoulders
awesome.God bless.
There is a lot to digest in this video!
This takes me back to the late seventies ☺ My parents gave me a Fleischmann track when I was about 10 years old and though I liked it, I didn'tplay with it much because I hated the stupid unrealistic high speeds. These things go so fast that you can't even make out the color of the cars. My brother always floored his car while I craved realism and tried to run my cars slow and more in line with the scale. He always won hahahaha.
Carrera for the pros, Scaleextric for the kids.
Listen to this man. He knows what he's about.
As someone who is thinking of taking up this as a hobby, your videos are fascinating! You give a scientific and objective view. As an American, I wish you could teach journalists how to do their job like it used to be done.
