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.
