The choice of scale: from 1/50 to 1/24
The scale is the number one criterion to avoid making a mistake when purchasing. Each size of car is designed for a system of On-road very precise:
- 1/50 scale: This ultra-compact format is exclusive to the new technology Carrera Hybrid (intelligent cars controlled by smartphone which roll in free mode on special carpets, without any rails).
- 1/43 scale: It is the compact format par excellence. It brings together the small battery-powered cars in the range Carrera First (from 3 years) and the models in the range Carrera GO!!! (ideal for getting started with the joys of slots racing with real controllers).
- 1/32 scale: The queen size and history of the road circuit. It is found in the analog range Carrera Evolution and the digital range Carrera Digital 132.
- 1/24 scale: The XXL “Premium” format, reserved for the range Carrera Digital 124. These very imposing models require large rails to express their full potential.
Analog or Digital Car (Digital): what are the differences?
Beyond the size, the technology embedded under the chassis completely changes the gaming experience.
The analog car: This is classic slot mechanics racing (used on Carrera First, GO!!! and Evolution). The motor simply picks up current from the On-road via its brooms. The rule is immutable: one lane = one car.
The digital car (Digital) : It is equipped with an electronic chip. This innovation allows several cars to drive at the same time on the same lane! The chip allows you to change lanes to overtake your opponents, turn on the headlights, manage braking, or even program a "Pace" car Car"autonomous.
Compatibility: Which car to choose for your circuit?
Be careful, cars are not universal! To avoid order errors, here are the strict compatibility rules to respect depending on your circuit:
Compatibilities Carrera
- System Carrera Hybrid (1/50) : These cars without a guide On-road don't work that on the smart treadmill Carrera Hybrid. They will not go on any classic rail.
- System Carrera First (1/43) : These battery-operated models do not roll that exclusively on the blue rails of the range Carrera First. Although they share the same scale as the GO!!!, they are totally incompatible with the circuits of this other range.
- System Carrera GO!!! (1/43) : Cars in this range are not compatible that with the rails of the range Carrera GO!!! (and GO!!! More).
- System Carrera Evolution (1/32) : Evolution cars are designed for Evolution (analog) rails.
- Systems Carrera Digital (1/32 and 1/24): The cars Carrera Digital absolutely require a digital power base. Warning: a car Digital 124 requires a specific transformer (18V) and will not run at full power on a circuit Digital 132 (14.8V).
The cars Scalextric
The famous English brand offers models of great finesse. The cars Scalextric standard at 1/32 are analog and can theoretically run on a 1/32 analog circuit from another brand (like Carrera Evolution). Scalextric also offers the DPR system (Digital Plug Ready), allowing you to easily add a chip in seconds to make the car compatible with circuits Scalextric ARC Pro Digital.
