Obtaining a Scalextric set We don't routinely keep race ready sets in stock all year due to lack of space but we can get them in to to order at any time - just contact us via the link at the top of the page. Also please note we are not a "Scalextric Collectors' Centre" so cannot offer the limited edition cars and sets that are only available through those outlets. However Hamleys (see link below) should have them. If you are unable to find the set you want on this site, please try the links below to major retailers who usually carry a lot of stock and may also have some special discounts.

Special orders of Scalextric sets If you need to place an order for multiple sets, see our Special Orders section for more information.

Play.com Play.com are based in the Channel Islands and offer a wide selection of entertainment products (including Scalextric sets) with free shipping. Scalextric is usually in their "Gadgets" section or you can type "Scalextric" in the search box. Hard to find cheaper.

Argos Argos are well worth a look as each year they often have some special exclusive sets and car packs only available through their stores. Again a general search on Scalextric will bring up everything they have. Available for collection or delivery.

Toys R Us Toys R Us also carry a fair bit of Scalextric and are probably the best place to find all the Micro Scalextric sets including the special character editions.

Amazon Amazon also supply a selection of Scalextric sets, available with free delivery. This is also the place to visit for Scalextric books such as The Slot Car Handbook.

Hamleys Williams F1 team sponsors, Hamleys, are not the cheapest place to buy your slot car sets by any means, but are included here because like Argos they do commission some "Hamleys specials" from time to time and this is the only place you will find these sought-after bits of kit. And the top floor of Hamleys in London's Regent Street is always a fun place to visit for anyone interested in slot cars, remote control, model railways and all that kind of thing. Hamleys also offer Scalextric Collector Centre limited edition cars.

Scalextric starter sets for kids We get a number of enquiries from parents who want to start their children off with a Scalextric set. All analogue 1/32 scale Scalextric sets could be upgraded to digital at a later date, so no worries about having to throw it away and start again from scratch for digital. And once upgraded with a digital chip, cars that were previously analogue can run on either analogue or digital tracks. Please note that the powerbase and hand throttles from analogue sets are not compatible with the digital format; you would replace them with the ones from the conversion kit. All Scalextric sets are designed for UK operation at 230V and come with a 3-pin 13 amp plug fitted.

Sport World sets Unfortunately Scalextric have discontinued support for Sport World internet racing which was not proving popular enough to remain viable. However if you would like to try an alternative form of internet racing, see the "Live For Speed" section of our modelmotorracing.com site.

Soldering Should you require a soldering iron to fit the chips into your old cars, we recommend looking through those offered by Maplin, especially the small pocket battery or lighter fuel powered ones which are ideal for the job.

Conversion examples Converting old analogue sets to digital Modern sets like this are very digital-friendly, and the latest analogue cars have chip holders and holes for the under-car sensor already installed. Simply add a chip to each car and replace the "Sport" analogue power- base and hand control units with the digital ones. Older sets like this one, still used the modern "Sport" track, so the power and control units are again a direct swap but analogue lap counters are no use (swap it with a digital one). As the cars pre-date digital, although they can still be chipped for digital, you have to make the LED hole and seat the chip yourself. If your set is older still, it probably has "Classic" track in it. To use this in a digital circuit you need the C8222 converter straights. The cars' magnets are not as strong as modern ones but they can still be chipped for digital and make for a different driving challenge.
