OUR FULL VIDEO REVIEW
Why Carrera?
- The Brand: Carrera is a leader in this hobby and has been for decades.
- Value: Carrera has a very appealing price point that is easy on even the tightest budgets.
- Quality: From the track components and of course THE CARS, Carrera produces a very solid and reliable system.
You will notice that many other slot car track owners have Carrera. Due to its quality, smooth surface, track width that accommodates two different scales (this 1/32 and the larger 1/24) and the vast selection of track and accessories to expand.
You will not see any comparison or negative comments about any other brands. As a long time enthusiast, I support almost ANY new set on the market regardless of brand. WHY? Because ANY set you choose simply achieves the goal of starting in our hobby.
What you will see is MY personal choice for this year for YOU to get started.
Why this set?
- The Cars!It’s all about the cars for me. The introduction of the new Next Gen NASCARS are a welcome sight. These models are very recognizable in the USA. So regardless if this set is for you or your younger racers, most know what NASCAR is.Plus these cars are durable and do not have an abundance of small mirrors or wings that usually always break with hard crashes (which let’s face it…that’s going to happen. A lot).
There are plenty of good sets out there. DO NOT worry about that “best” or perfect brand or set.
The BEST one is the one is the one you own.
