Carrera is a model name of a l.l scale car by Porsche. the Carrera type 908, 906, these are, like most Porsches of the time- Rear engined and they were racing cars. The body design was copied by car model makers including slot cars. Therefore Carrera is a model of a real car- not a slot-car manufacturer like Aurora, Scalextric, etc.
Porsche's Carrera is the name of one of his L.L cars. Like most Porsches of the time, the Carrera his Types 908 and 906 were rear-engined racing cars. Car modelers, especially those who make slot cars, emulate body styles, and as a result Carrera is not the maker of slot his cars such as Aurora and Scalextric. Rather it is a model of a real car.

Will 146 scale carrera cars work on scalextric?
If you have a big enough track I suppose... But they will probably be slower. Tell me if you do it though I LOVE scalextric!!!!
Are 1 43 scale slot cars compatible with 1 40 scale slot car tracks?
The short answer is maybe...some will and some won't. The only company that made 1/40 scale cars and track was Carrera; Profi, Car Racing, and Servo140 slotless. The biggest issue will be with the guide pins of one manufacturer being too wid to fit in the trakc of another manufacturer. I think the Artin guide pins are too wide for Carrera, but the Carrera cars should work fine on Artin tracks. But since the Carrera cars are slightly larger they may not fit side by side on Artin track. My advice is to stick with the scale you currently have, you'll save money time, and headaches buy going with what you have. Artin is easy enough to find here i the US. But if you're stuck with the Carrera 1/40 stuff you will have to shop eBay Germany to get the parts you need. Prices are cheap, but shipping can be astronomical. Be sure to get a shipping quote before you bid; sometimes the people will inflate the shipping costs to cover the inconvenience they feel for shipping internationally.

Yes , new models do come with interchangeable guides and braids. However if you want to use the car on a scalextrix setup, then you"'ll need to modify the car by removing both the carrera digital chip and switch and installing a scalextrix module.

Will strombecker return to producing slot cars?
Strombecker was and I believe still is a furniture company that got into originally wooden model airplanes as a way of ( ahead of the curve) recycling scrap wood from the main line of work- Furniture. They did survive plastics-wise into slot car era that is now extinct. Popular interest in slot cars has tended to mirror the declining interest in real-life racing cars, on which most of the scale ones were based . Slot Car magazines such as Car Model and Model Car & Track were intersperesed with articles on real race tracks such as Daytona, Le Mans, Nurburgring ( Nuremburg area) and the then successul action of Ford GT"s Chaparrals etc. It is a bit like asking Baseball cards to show any real vitality if, and this might not be a total blitz- say, baseball was abolished. there would be some residual market, but not much. one ( slot racing) was tied to the other real car racing. For some bizarre reason the game ( Slot Cars) did not appeal to the distaff set, no 99"s Powder Puffs, or Donna Mae Mims types- you never saw girls around slot tracks.

How does a Scalextric car work?
Scalextric cars work by using the metal conductor on the track as an electrical circuit. The cars have conductors on the underside which conduct the electricity from the mains on the wall. After conducting the electricity, it then passes through the motor of the car turning a small cog which then turns two other larger cogs. These cogs are attached to the wheels which then use friction to propell the car across the track! SIMPLE!
