Carrera 143 Digital Makes its way to the UK

The items we were most looking forward this year have arrived. Carrera Go has now got a digital counterpart.

How Carrera has managed to digitalise their 1:43 scale cars and offer digital racing in a small scale.
We think this is a fantastic idea and allows a wider age appeal for this product over all other types of slot car racing. Ideal for younger racers due to the smaller scale but also allows many years of fun up to teenage years all on one set.

No we don’t expect the cars to last that long but there is no reason why the rest will not last if looked after.
There are a range of straight lane change over’s that can be purchased separately and a wide range of car. The range is not as extensive as the Carrera go range but there is still a fair amount for cars considering that the new range has only just been released.

There is as ever, branded box sets, the most popular is expected to be the Mario Wii set. Carrera digital 143 does only allow up to 3 cars to race at once but on the smaller tracks we would expect this to be more than enough.

Carrera Digital 143 cars and track in stock

We have received the Carrera digital 143 items that will accompany the sets that are due for release before Christmas.
The items that have arrived are replacement black boxes or powerbase, controllers, 4 cars and a selection of lane change pieces.

We are very excited about the release of a digital race set in the smaller form. As expected it had to come from Carrera, we believe that they are the market leaders in digital with their full size digital sets and accessories being far superior to Scalextric’s version. It is more expensive but the track can accept 1:24 scale cars so it’s not a surprise really. Digital racing in the smaller scale is ideal for younger kids and we feel that the set will mean that it will extend the range of ages of the users so it can be appealing to ages 6-14. Not many toys have that type of appeal across such a wide range of ages.
