So having had Scalextric "Classic" track, then moving over to Ninco track( only to have them go out of business), and then switching to Scalextric Sport track, I must say that the Sport track is the slickest surface I have driven on.
How slick? Well I am having a very difficult job keeping cars on the track unless they have the strongest mag ets in them, and are positioned very close to the rear axle.
I have invested a lot in cars over the past year, and don't like the fact that unless I put silicone rear tires on them, they just don't handle like I was used to with my other tracks. In fact I don't recall ever having to buy silicone tires for my cars back then.
So This Is The Question. Should I try scuffing up the corners on my Scalextric Sport track? Thinking of using 800 grit sandpaper on the R1 & R2 curves that are 90 degree turns. At this point I say, What is the worst that can happen? Maybe it ruins the track pieces and I have to replace them? Hell I'm already forking out between 6 and 13 dollars on a pair of silicone. AND thats if they are even available. Thinking Carrera Evolution cars here.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
