Scalextric tracks operate using a system of electrified slot car racing. Each slot on the track has a conductive rail that powers the cars, which are equipped with a small guide blade that fits into the slot, allowing them to stay on the track. When the user presses the throttle on the controller, it sends electricity to the car, propelling it forward. The speed can be controlled by varying the amount of electricity delivered, allowing for dynamic racing experiences.

How does a Scalextric car work?
Scalextric cars work by using the metal conductor on the track as an electrical circuit. The cars have conductors on the underside which conduct the electricity from the mains on the wall. After conducting the electricity, it then passes through the motor of the car turning a small cog which then turns two other larger cogs. These cogs are attached to the wheels which then use friction to propell the car across the track! SIMPLE!
Can you use new scalextric cars on old track?
