Micro Scalextric

Anyone else got a set ?


Bought a set for the kids ( honest ) and must say it's bloody excellent !

Went for micro as the age range of my kids able to play it is from 4 - 11 yrs. Also, we don't have a huge space to set it up in. What's great is that the cars stay on the track really well, even at high speeds, so my 4 yr old can play too with no trouble at all. Much cheaper than the full scale stuff too.

We've already popped up the local model shop to buy a few bits of extra track. I think we may well be hooked already.

Yep, My kids were given that. Well simple and they can use it easily (age 2 & 4). Had to lock them out in the garden yesterday though, as they were interfering with my time trials.

Oh dear, it's started already.

I've been seeking out micro thrills on you tube and started perusing the wonderful world of slot car forums. Please, please, somebody help me before it's all too late.

I've heard of these 'gateway' hobbies and I don't want to end up just another statistic in the attic with...well...let me not even think about it

Yeah bought my son a set and he's four. Love it amazing how fast it is too. There is definite value on eBay too for track and new cars.
