Hello from new forum member, been browsing and reading for awhile, so might as well join! Thanks, lots of great info here!
I was club racing on routed wood tracks without magnets, but no longer have that available as the track in our area closed (ran on regulated 10 volts iirc). I'm looking at Carrera and Scalextric plastic track set for a fun home setup, pros and cons to both.
I like the wider lane spacing or Carrera, but dislike thumb controllers.
Scalextric regular trigger controllers, but narrower lane spacing.
Nice to have room to wiggle sometimes especially when passing.
I'll be probably be setting up in my garage for now, later on I need to add some ceiling beams, sheetrock and insulation, but that's a big project and will take time. Later I want to route my own wood track, love running magnet free, also need to build a larger proper table. I've got my wood track cars still setup from before that I'll want to run, and have several unbuilt NIB. I've got a Professor Motor Pro Scale Racer controller with adjustable brakes and sensitivity.
Which track Scalextric or Carrera do you prefer and why? Would the included controllers be good enough or Professor Motor low cost home set use or?
