Andy P. Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hólà Sergio!No hay problema. 😉 Espanol peudo leer pero puedo muey bien hablar/escribirOK so my Spanish is pretty much exhausted at this point. :-DGood news: Almost all "H0" or "HO" cars work on almost tracks. In fact I run Scalextric (Scaley=Scalextric) Micro cars on Tyco track with no problems. H0 is sometimes called 1/87, 1/72 and also 1/64 and even 1/60. It doesn't really matter.A few observations: Scaley Micro cars tend to be much more "loose" than Tyco cars on Tyco track. They are harder to control because the Tyco rails are slightly lower than Scaley Micro rails and the magnetic force is not as strong. The material of the rails may be different too.I also think the motor is slightly slower. (my opinion)Scaley Micro use braids and not "shoes" so they must be taken care of as they will wear out.One important note:For historical reasons Scalextrix (Hornby) is called SuperSlot in many Spanish-Speaking countries and Sclextric Spain is called SCX most other places.Many people calls Scalextric (Hornby) "Scaley" because it is faster. :-DHave fun!

Sizes are in milimeters. Please let me know if this sizes of tracks are possible to use with the micro cars that you recommend me.Thank you so much for your kind help! 😀Big hugSergio/media/tinymce_upload/d02f8e4ff55e53ed92211d93f488c8d0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
