Accelerate into the new world of 1:32 scale slot racing.  Available in a selection of ready-to-race sets, Scalextric Start provides everything for the rookie racer.

Scalextric "Start" If you ever looked at buying analogue Scalextric sets for the younger racer in the past you may have been a bit underwhelmed by the variety of circuit layout available to you for an outlay of £60 to £80. Basically you were limited to a small oval or a figure of eight.

Scalextric Start addresses that problem by introducing a new type of track, cheaper to produce and easier for young fingers to assemble, available in exactly this price band and capable of producing more interesting layouts with just two track pieces, a straight and a single radius of curve. It's essentially the same geometry as Micro Scalextric, but blown up to 1:32 scale.

There are three ready to race sets, with features including easy-to-connect/disconnect track pieces, super tough "fantasy" cars (not based on real ones so no licensing and hence extra cost issues), multiple circuit options, and special hand controllers with skill level settings to ensure that even the most wayward racer can stay on the track.

There is also a Start-to-Sport converter to enable you to connect it in to standard Sport track, so you can still use your Start track and cars even when the kids have graduated to more delicate cars and more complex circuits, so you don't have to worry about it falling into disuse when the kids grow up. Sets come with decal stickers to apply to the otherwise plain cars. Alternatively, why not make your own, using this waterslide transfer paper.

These sets bring greater enjoyment to the younger racer discovering Scalextric for the first time, and help them to develop their throttle-handling skills before moving on to the standard analogue and digital sets. Even so, the Start cars use standard braid fittings and the underpans are already drilled with the hole for the digital LED so can easily be retro-fitted for digital if desired (they are not DPR

Scalextric Digital Conversion Set Ref: C7056

Conversion set for any analogue Scalextric system; 4 car powerbase, two hand throttles, power supply, lanechanger and balancing track pieces, but no cars. Ideal if you have an existing analogue set you want to upgrade. Use C8222 converter pieces with this to introduce older classic track to your layout, or C8525 converters to connect "Start" track up to digital.

If you are trying out digital for the first time and need some cars, look for twin packs or those marked "super-resistant" and don't forget the digital plug modules to go in them.
