Each set includes everything you need to go: high-detail cars, strong, reliable track, power, and controllers, so you can build your circuit and start racing straight away. The larger 1:32 scale gives the cars real presence on the track, with authentic liveries and realistic proportions. Strong magnetic grip, smooth track joints and easy to use hand controllers come together to create fast, close racing that both newcomers and long time fans can enjoy. Standard Sets are the heart of the Scalextric experience, simple to put together, easy to extend, and made to bring the atmosphere of a real race circuit into your home. Micro Scalextric Sets (1:64) Micro Scalextric Sets – Big Fun in Compact 1:64 Scale Micro Scalextric is ideal for the younger racer. At 1:64 scale, it offers the thrills and spills of full sized slot car racing in a compact format that fits comfortably into family life. The smaller size works well in bedrooms, playrooms and on table top layouts, without needing a large, permanent space. Micro track pieces are quick to assemble and easy to pack away, while the cars are designed to be tough enough for everyday play. Simple, comfortable controllers help smaller hands stay in charge as children learn when to push for speed and when to ease off for corners. With fun themes, flexible layouts and the same spirit of friendly competition as the larger system, Micro Scalextric is a great way to introduce children to Scalextric racing. My First Scalextric (1:64, Age 3+) My First Scalextric – The Ideal First Step for Young Racers My First Scalextric is a great introduction to slot car racing for children. Featuring easy to assemble track, two super resistant cars and controllers, these sets are the ideal starting point for kids aged 3+. Designed at a compact 1:64 scale, My First Scalextric layouts fit easily on most tables or play mats. Bright, appealing cars and a simple track shape help young drivers focus on staying on the circuit. The durable track and cars are built to handle enthusiastic play, and the child friendly controllers make it easy to understand the basics of going faster and slowing down. My First Scalextric brings the fun of racing to the youngest fans and helps build coordination, confidence and a lasting love of Scalextric.

Track Track and Borders – Build, Expand and Refine Your Circuit Scalextric track and borders give you what you need to grow your layout and keep racing interesting.
