Hi just a quick question will Scalextric compact (scx) 1/43 cars work on a Carrera go track straight out of the box? 

Cheers

Back in the 90s and earlier, almost all 1/43 were manufactured by the largest slot car maker in the world,  artin.

(They even made actual 4 lane track pieces.)

They were sold under numerous brands including carrera at low prices and all were similar under the body.

 

Then mattel brought out a different design that still worked on artin track.

Prices on h o , 1/32  , and 1/24 cars started rising and 1/43 became the solution to the space requirement.

So then everyone had there solution and set prices went up.

Best answer to your question would be found by you searching the internet for reviews of each brand.

Do know slotforum, slotcarillustrated, and slotraceronline do have subforums for them too.

Niether of those products are from Hornby.

Please take the coversation to either SCX (Spanish Scalextric, maker of the "Compact" sreies) or Carrera.

Thanks
