Scalextrci Start

[Beardy10]

Thinking of getting one of these for my son.....he was given a Micro Scalextric last year which was rubbish and promprly returned to Amazon. Have a gift voucher to use and was wondering if anyone had any experience of "start". Read some mixed reviews along the lines that the controllers aren't great...also be interested to know if the reduced speed setting stops the cars flying off the track.

Hadn't thought about it like that...though at £55 for a full set of cars track it's about the same cost as two proper cars that would get trashed! It's apparently compatible with the proper stuff too with an adaptor piece.

50&, 75% and 88&.
The pacer function is brill.
My 6 car powerbase (C7042) has just arrived.................

Now this has really got me interested. The whole idea of looking at "start" was because you could restrict the cars speed to let my little lad learn without getting frustrated. At 50pct power do the cars come off at all?

Not really but depends on you car/track too.

Just realised how expensive this controller is! Hmmm
