What are the fastest Scalextric cars?
What are the fastest Scalextric cars?
The fastest slot car was a Scalextric Honda F1 replica, which reached a speed of 983.88 scale mph (1,583.4 scale kph) when it was controlled by Dallas Campbell (UK) of The Gadget Show at the Chatsworth Rally Show, Chatsworth, UK, on 6 June 2008.
What is the fastest drag slot car motor?
The fastest Modern motors are in Drag Racing. 135 MPH AA/FC motors are going at a rate of 280,000 RPM thru the lights.
How is Scalextric powered?
Power is fed through powerbase – PCB limits the power available to the track. As the car is further away from the powerbase it increases the amps drawn which then results in power drops. Power is fed direct to the track.
What is a race tuned Scalextric car?
A new ‘race-tuned’ motor, new high-grip tyres of soft rubber, a forward-mounted guide flag, and a special braking device built into the hand controller these are the Scalextric ‘extras’ that mean fantastic speed, instant acceleration, phenomenal track-holding and cornering, and perfect braking power.
How fast are drag slot cars?
The cars run on a track that is powered by electricity and just like real drag racing there is a racing tree The quickest finger normally leads to the winning car. And don’t blink or you might miss a race. The track is 27 feet long and that short run these cars can reach speeds up to 65 miles an hour.
What voltage does Scalextric use?
The Scalextric cars then have 2 contacts, usually made from flat braided wire that touch each conductor to carry the electric current into the car. The nominal electrical voltage has remained at 12 Volts to 14 Volts for both the power systems and the motors in the cars and the current draw has remained similar too.
What voltage do slot cars run on?
A slot car motor normally runs on 12/14 volts DC but the power coming out of your sockets at home is 230 volts AC (110v AC in USA), so it would be positively dangerous to plug your track straight into the mains supply!
