Welcome to Slotcarcentre.co.uk, the premier place on the net to find out about Scalextric Digital and buy all your Scalextric Digital (and analogue) equipment.

Watch the McLaren video below which shows Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton getting in some Scalextric training ahead of the 2010 British Grand Prix on a digital Santander Silverstone layout. The racing is managed by the new C7042 6-car digital powerbase which is due in the shops in the autumn.


Scalextric Sport Digital (SSD) is just like regular 1:32 scale Scalextric - it's not a separate system and it's the same size. But there are now special extra lane-change sections where cars can swap lanes and overtake each other thanks to the latest digital control unit. Just swap your analogue powerbase for a digital one, with digital hand controllers and digital cars. Otherwise the track is just regular "Sport" Scalextric track as supplied in analogue sets, but now, instead of racing just two cars, you can race up to 6 at once on a two or three lane track. Your old cars can be upgraded too. See the "DIGITAL RACING INFORMATION" section of the margin for more details of what you can do with Digital and how to upgrade your old stuff. And don't forget to visit our special offers page
too!

About us

If you are new to the world of Scalextric, or reacquainting yourself, welcome on board! We have been an authorised Scalextric stockist, part of modelmotorracing.com based in Cheddar, Somerset, since the beginnings of digital slot car racing in 2004-5. Slotcarcentre.co.uk is a proper enthusiasts' store, with its own small Scalextric club/display/test track and with items physically in stock and sent out from our premises. So we don't just sell these products but we actually use them ourselves too.

Some other Scalextric web stores are little more than an auction site or a big retailer's affiliate scheme "front end". But here you will find everything you need to create your own Scalextric Sport Digital race track - along with standard analogue cars and equipment, and the digital chips to convert analogue cars. We are now the second largest retailer of Hornby Scalextric items in the whole of the Wales and West UK region.

The Scalextric range of cars is large, but even so, there are other manufacturers whose 1:32 scale cars can be chipped for SSD, so we also supply SSD-compatible products from makers such as Ninco, Flyslot, Carrera, NSR and Slot-It - including the Slot-It SSD conversion chip - plus some Hornby Skale Scenics for your trackside modelling projects, and Micro Scalextric. You can also race against other users of this web site and virtual racers from around the world via the on-line multiplayer motorsport simulators Live For Speed and iRacing.com.

You can phone during the hours above and leave a message at other times, someone will always get back to you if we are not available. Being amongst the most experienced SSD users in the country, for anything you need, cars, track, parts or just advice, you are in the right place for down-to-earth, honest information, and a safe, reliable shopping experience with payments securely processed by Netbanx and Natwest.

Our prices include VAT, postage and packing to UK addresses, the price you see is the price you pay and should be competitive in relation to other sites - see this Scalextric price comparison. You don't need to log in or open an account to be able to shop. If you are abroad we only charge you the extra post and packaging in bands to your part of the world "at cost".

iPhone and iPod links

We have just added a new section to this site (in the margin) with links into the Apple iTunes store for applications, videos and games that may be of interest to the motor sport fan. Included are the latest F1 timing apps and the James May Toy Stories Scalextric episode.

Troubleshooting guide
If you are experiencing a problem with your SSD circuit, click here to view our PDF troubleshooting guide. Rather than call or email with a vague problem such as "my car won't go" or "my controller's not working", work through the guide before calling for help as most issues are covered in there. It contains lots of useful ideas to help you track down, step by step, the possible cause of a problem, based on our many years' experience of the system. Then if you are still struggling ask a question via the contact form.

Racing with the NSCC
As well as running our own circuit and shop, we are also involved with the NSCC which promotes the hobby both in the UK and around the world. If you are a keen racer or collector, and wish to get more out of your slot cars, we really do recommend joining. Members receive a monthly journal, have access to limited edition club cars, early access to swapmeets, and also get invited to Hornby/NSCC weekend events. This year's club car is a Scalextric Jaguar XKR (pictured). Head over to the National Scalextric Collectors Club web site for more information. You can join on line by credit/debit card.
