Best slot cars for beginners

  • 536 views

The slot cars are powered by a small electric motor to be able to run on a track that has a thin groove as each lane has a groove. The cars each have a small blade that fits into the groove on the track. With the blade fitted into the groove, a small amount of electricity would be gathered and this is where the powers the vehicles come from to be able to move around the track.

Slot car race sets for beginners

There are 2 types of controllers that are used these are analog and electric. The electric controllers are most recommended for beginners since it has an added control ability to use with a variety of cars. Analog controllers work slightly differently to be able to deliver the needed amount of voltage to the slot car.

As a beginner, you should look for a 1:32 slot car set before you try a large scale slot car sets.

In the set, you should get a car/s, the track, controller, and power supply. You could add more tracks eventually to build up and expand the size and shape of your set.

After taking in all the information so far about how the cars work, the scales, the tracks it’s probably going to seem quite daunting.

For a beginner, very simple tracks on a 1:32 scale would be best.
