Nice video. I have used both brands and some other brands also, and pretty much everything you said is true. I would add that Scalextric is working to improve their products, so some small details may change from this car to other models in the future. Also, I would recommend using a plastic-safe, light oil to lubricate the axle bushings on either brand, even the brass bushings on the Carrera. It helps keep the car running smoothly longer. Good job!
It's not a good video. He starts off saying there's a problem with the size of the display case, and shipping. Well that's not actually a problem at all. Most people are still buying from shops. This vid maker isn't experienced at this game. Both games are unique. They seem to be the same to inexperienced operators. If you want to experience smashing the cars, you'd buy scalextric product, cause that's built into the product. If you want to experience sliding the car around corners you'd buy product which isn't these 2 brands. Your cars need to have the pin guide instead of the sliding guides. You also DONT MODIFY these product. If you do, you're saying that you know more than ferrari do, for example. So you know when you see a RUclips vid maker modifying the slot cars, they're bullshit artists. They can't possibly know better than ferrari or Lamborghini. Those vid makers shouldn't be commenting. For example, 'trueing wheels' is ACTUALLY cutting out the engine sound of a slot car. The engine sound is actually the sound of a gearbox noise of a full size car. These are the elements a slotcar manufacturer gets to play with. If you cut the lumps off the wheels and tyres, you've ruined the engine rumble sound designed to be there from the slotcar makers.
@@dreyn7780 thank you for that info Dreyn 77 I just bought my 2nd Carrera track. My first one was the evolution track and my 2nd one is a digital one. Again thank you for the info.
Thanks I didnt know why when I converted my Carrara track to digital that my cars kept power to the wheels until you explained that digital track has power all the time and the cars use a chip to control their power to the wheels... Great video...
Liar! It's false information and its misleading the public. You're paying for a LIFESTLYE when you buy a brand product. If you buy more than 1 brand product you get multiple different lifestyles to experience during your short life on planet earth.
Also have to take in to account that scalextric is much cheaper then Carrera. I never understood Carrera prices here in the uk the Carrera digital cars are getting on for £80 a car compared to scalextric £45. Big difference.
There is a clear plastic cover behind the box of the Carrera 1/32 Ford GT that I purchased. Behind the cover are the instructions. Do you know how to remove the cover without breaking it? Thanks.
my Scalextric Ferrari F40 from the early 90s has brake lights that activate when you back off on the throttle, havent seen other ones with it as most of my other cars are SCX but i assume it isnt uncommon
Can you make a banana taste like an apple? Your answer is no. They're completely different toys. What you experience playing 1 toy is completely different to the other toy experience. A banana is a banana and an apple is an apple. Digital is digital etc... Can you use Monopoly money in the UNO game? This vid maker didn't educate you about slotcars.
@@dreyn7780 the answer is yes!!!! but ive only done it from Scalextric to Carrera it takes a bit of work soldering and hot glue but I made it work really and they are reliable mod
Very useful, thank you. if I was to start over again, I would go with Carrera. I started with Scalextric in 1967 and it is far too late to switch now 😊. Thanks again for the video.
symbian1530 : long answer to a quick question :) My thoughts, subjectively of course ... While I love Scalextric, I think Carrera has the digital thing so much better organised. They evolved into digital format seamlessly, as indicated by their 132 racing track system. Apart from a variety of lane changers, the functionality of their cars and CU have been designed from the ground up. In comparison, Scalextric have been scrambling to catch up, experiencing endless delays with their ARC system. Everything still smacks of digital being an “add-on”. The contrast is quite stark when viewing videos of both systems in action. The Carrera cars, with the ability to turn lights on when stationery and brake lights (essential for accident-free racing IMO) just seem so much more real. The variety of track designs, including corner lane changers that simulates racing lines, are seemingly endless. I have loved Scalextric since getting my first set in 1967, but they let their advantage slip for too many years and now are scrambling to catch up. It is difficult to find certain pieces, even simple ones such as straight track borders (apparently produced only in limited runs whenever they are able to do so). Scaley had fantastic track pieces in the past (such as that glorious Goodwood chicane that I had save up for monts to be able to buy), not to mention endless track-side goodies. While I race only ARCPro now, I still own all my tracks (including the Goodwood chicane) and 52 cars (most in mint condition) collected over the past 60 years. I applaud Scalextric for trying its best to get back to where it once was ... I just hope it is not too late. I support them whenever possible by buying new cars and following them on social media, but they are facing an uphill struggle.
@@edteach3r I disagree, the arc pro works well and it a good system. The carrera digital is hard to purchase in most countries. Scalextric is literally everywhere.
both are excellent. the choice is yours and you can't really make a bad choice of the two. other than that, it's all opinion, and we all know about that.
This vid is full of lies. You're supposed to listen to the brands before total strangers. Have you heard of the concept of 'stranger danger'? He's NOT an authority on either brand.
@@dreyn7780 brands doesn't care ! Its nice to watch a person who take time to do this review. I think that we have to support with smart comments and less judgment, this hobby needs people who add. Thats why is loosing popularity and is near to disapear!
Humans are famous for changing the rules to suit themselves. So, after all these years, you don't know anymore what is the truth and what is lies. We know by 2019, you're most likely to be totally wrong based on the fact that humans keep changing the rules and shifting the goal posts every year. We know human behaviour and so your words must be completely wrong and that human flaw is well documented. Over time humans endup saying the complete opposite words as if they're correct facts.
Brands DO care because they deliberately made different display boxes for the cars. They also maked different hand controllers to make sure you could experience the same feelings while using the slot cars. Both brands DO care about their social image and they spend ALOT of time and money working on appearence. ( slot car makeup). Just because you're lazy doesn't mean you get to influence other people to live how you live.
I adapted a few Carrera evolution cars to run on scalextric digital set up. It's not that difficult, taking about 10 mins if you are proficient with a soldering iron. The Carrera cars normally come with an optional smaller guide for running on scalextric track. Carrera has exclusive rights to Ferrari licence now so if you want modern Ferraris on a scalextric circuit you have to modify them.
@@babu7141 I can't answer that as I have never used a Carrera set up only scalextric. It was my brother's set up that I modified the cars for and we had a load of old cars and he'd never used a soldering iron. There are videos showing how to modify analog and carrera cars for scalextric digital and they take you through the steps. I don't know how to modify cars for a carrera digital set up. If you plan to use all scalextric or all carrera the choice is simple. If you plan to mix and match it becomes harder if you are going digital and not analog.
Can you convert a Carrera car to fit on Scalextric track. My son just bought a 1:32 scale Carrera Audi DTM car and we've just found that the steering guide is way to long on the Carrera and gets stuck with the angle of the track. Can you switch the brade set up to a shorter Scalextric version?
@@johnnyfuglestad349 I did cut it down. I used a hot Stanley knife and a little bit of light grade sandpaper. Did thd job. Are Carrera cars slower generally?
@@culfy118 yes carrera is very solid- great for kids, but heavy and slow compared to scalextric-wich in turn is slower than NSR, Slot it and revo slot. as for real cars you get what you are willing to pay. of the mainstream (cheap)manufacttures scalextric is generaly fastest.
Analog can only fit two cars on a track at a time and is limited to some of the features of digital, to race more than 2 cars you would need another set of track and controllers, Digital can have up 6 cars as well as have lane changing all on the same track, pitting and fueling, as well as braking
Scalextric made a FWD Mini Cooper waaaaay back (C76). It does work, I know as I had one for a while, but it spins the wheels more than you really want to make quick progress round a track. That's because the contact braids lift the front a little. But I think it's worth having one if you're an enthusiastic collector. Expect to pay £75 or so. There's one being auctioned on Ebay right now. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303391765982
Once you experience the build quality and performance gap between these and Slot.it , Sideways and NSR, cars, Scalextric and Carrera are just toys. For a very small increase in price there is (round!) alloy rims, metal gears, adjustable axles, soft tyres that grip, decent powerful motors and a range of cheap upgrade/replacement parts to make a fast slot-car even faster. You would need to fit your own digital chip if that's your thing.
You forgot to mention Hornby car's are much faster than Carrera and Hornby tyres aren't useless after 8mths, we very rarely race carrera cars at my slot car club because of these reasons
Scalextric miles behind the times. Their tracks dont sell so good anymore. The weight difference isnt that big a deal....not everybody is racing these things to make a living,
That's impossible to do because the display boxes of the different brands are different. Just looking at the object gives people a different experience. Both brands are valid and so are the other brands not in the vid. Sometimes being thrifty with money ruins your life and the lives of people around you. You can loose 20 years of your life listening to and believing a vid like this vid.
Carrera makes real tracks, scalextric needs a major redesign. Flimsy and narrow,wont take 1/24 cars. Dont have all the features the carrera tracks have. It matters that's why carrera sells so well. Real slot cars would be a slot.it if your going racing.
They're completely different product and they aren't the same product. An apple is an apple and when you experience an apple, you got the apple experience. Experiencing a banana is totally different to apples. You can compare apples to apples, but not bananas to apples.
Your behaviour is NOT acceptable in 2019. It's obvious that carrera and scalextric build completely different experiences for their customers. It's the dumb idiots who ALWAYS try to be thrifty with money and get around stuff they're NOT ABLE TO GET AROUND but they try 24/7 days a week. We're sick and tired of the morons doing this behaviour and telling us all to live as they do and destroy all our lives! The fact is, YOU GET A DIFFERENT LIFE when you buy the other brand of slot car. You can't even see the boxes of the cars are different shapes from the different brands. The box DOES INFLUENCE YOU. You're given a unique experience just looking at the cars in the box/ display packageing.
Dreyn 77 I think maybe you’re putting a little too much weight on toy cars in terms of evaluating the quality of your life. And i don’t think anyone here is telling you how to live your life...or choose your slot cars...or whatever. Maybe you should just focus on you and disregard any videos posted by anyone else that you think is trying to control your life. Either that, or you’re just the oddest RUclips troll ever. Oh, and thanks for the very detailed and drawn out explanation of how the apples and oranges metaphor works.
The only thing the same is they're slot cars. Everything about them is different. 1 car runs on AC, the other is built for DC, the guides are different lengths, the display boxes are totally different to display the items and protection. Just looking at the cars in the different display boxes cause you the viewer to experience a different image. From the first time you see a carrera product you experience something you'll never experience looking at scalextric product. If you buy only 1 brand you only get to live that lifestyle, you don't get the other brand lifestyle too. You don't look at a red object and Imagine it as being blue. You're saying that you can imagine the carrera slot car being exactly like the scalextric product, even though everything is different about the cars, including the display boxes. 1 car has a hand controller operated by a trigger. The other brand deliberately uses a thumb controller feature. EVERYTHING BEFORE YOUR EYES tells you the cars are all different and are impossible to compare, yet you puny humans keep trying to compare and so you can dismiss paying for another race track system. Admit you're a cheapass idiot and stop wasting everyone's life trying to argue scalextric is the same. It's NOT, they're both totally unique.
That doesn't stop them from trying to force us all to think like they do and live how they're living. The west treats citizens as if they're all born yesterday and have no knowledge and no social credibility.
