A slot car track track allows electric toy cars to race around at different speeds. The cars fit into a slot which allows them to stay on the track without falling off. There are different sizes built for different expertise. You will find HO or micro, 1/43, 1/32, and 1/24 tracks.
Micro tracks are positioned as beginner tracks for kids given the name by Scalextric (Hornby Hobbies). Carrera Toys has its own kids’ tracks called Carrera Go, but they are 1/43 scale. These kids’ tracks have limits on how fast the cars go and are cheaper. The track length is also much smaller and will usually be an oval or figure eight.
HO scale is used for more advanced tracks, it’s commonly collected by adults. These tracks can be found in the early 80s to the present. This type of track is smaller but the cars can speed around the track very quickly. If you are working with a small space this would be the best track type.
Looking to get more detailed cars that reflect the real thing 1/32 and 1/24 are the best pics. These cars are miniature replicas of their true race counterparts. Be prepared to spend more money on these types of cars and tracks.
Slot car tracks can be very entertaining, used for birthday parties, or as a reason for adults to spend time with each other. They are great Christmas gifts as well. For large groups of users digital slot car tracks are better.
