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.
What else can I help you with?
Is scx compatible with carrera?
SCX and Carrera are both slot car brands, but they are not directly compatible due to differences in track dimensions, slot sizes, and car designs. SCX tracks typically have a narrower slot compared to Carrera, which can lead to issues when trying to use SCX cars on Carrera tracks and vice versa. However, some hobbyists modify their cars or use adapters to create a mixed setup, but this requires additional work and may not provide optimal performance.
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!!!!
Is carrera go compatible with scaletrix?
Carrera Go and Scalextric are two different slot car systems with distinct track designs, cars, and controllers, which makes them generally incompatible with each other. While both are popular for slot car racing, their tracks and electrical systems are not designed to work together. However, some enthusiasts may create custom solutions to combine elements from both systems, but this typically requires modifications and may not be straightforward.
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.
Can carrera slot cars work on scalextric tracks?
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.
How does the scalextric track work?
Scalextric tracks operate using a system of electrified slot car racing. Each slot on the track has a conductive rail that powers the cars, which are equipped with a small guide blade that fits into the slot, allowing them to stay on the track. When the user presses the throttle on the controller, it sends electricity to the car, propelling it forward. The speed can be controlled by varying the amount of electricity delivered, allowing for dynamic racing experiences.
Does scx work with scalextric?
Yes, Carrera does work on Scalextric. You may find that the guide is a little bigger/thicker on the Carrera cars, however by filing the guide thinner with an emery board or file usually does the trick.

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.
