Great episode! I had always wondered how some of the 1:43’s would stack up against some of the bigger cars and you were great in answering that question for me! I think I may get a few of these buggers and have a little competition race amongst them!
This track is without a doubt is the best layout I’ve ever seen! I’ve never seen the starting line we’re you have it! That is now my ideal dream track I’ll have to incorporate my banked #2 turn into it! And thanks for All you do for us slotties!
I don't understand your question "are they worth". I see them as another way to use your cars. I have a lot of SCX 1:32 track and at least as much Carrera 1:43 track as well as a decent amount of SCX 1:43 track (wish there was an adapter track to combine them). I've tried running the 1:32 on the Carrera 1:43 and they don't move at all so I'm guessing the power is lacking for the larger scale. As to the cars you tested I was really surprised at how well the Artin car performed. They sure don't look like they'd perform as well as the better looking/better detailed Carrera.
Hay Trav have you ever put a 1/32 scale car on a 1/43 scale track it's pretty funny. but I often see Kids bring there 1/43 cars to the track. And yes I have done this to. Your right it is fun. Take care Trav from your pal Helcat.
Good video. Question, can you drive a 1/32 on a 1/43 track? I'm new at this. I have a lot of 1/43 track ,which I can setup two tracks at one time. Thanks.
Hello Slotcarguy, I just like saying that , lol. So how is the Artin car setup? Is it running with a faster motor? And is that time a 1/32 scale killer? Best Regards , Jack
G’day Jack, Artin 1/43 slot cars run a Mabuchi type 6 volt motor designed to run on sets supplying 5-7.5 volts. I suspect the Slot Car Guy is running 12-14 volts. So yes, it’ll be fast, but it may not last as the Artin motors don’t have carbon brushes, just a very thin copper beryllium brush finger that may burn out at higher volts/ current. Artin 1/43 slot cars also generally run 10/27 gearing which is quite tall compared to Carrera’s (from memory) much shorter 8/34 gearing. This gives the Carrera GO cars the torque they require on short tracks to be able to quickly accelerate and complete the loops featured in most of their sets at the price of sacrificing top speed on a longer track. Carrera GO cars are also designed to run at 14.8 volts 0.3 amps per lane. I hope this helps. Roland 1/43 Slot Cars on Facebook
Hi there, just a question: What voltage were you running these 1:43 scale cars on your 1:32/1:24 scale track? Am I right in saying that Carrera-Go 1:43 scale car should run at 14.8volts?
@@thatslotcarguy Thanks, I was asked if Carrera GO would run on our Standard Scalextric Track, now I know it will if we adjust the Voltage (as I suspected) and should be great fun.
Apparently, Carrera made (or makes?) 143 digital cars which will run on 132/124 track. Have you ever seen or run any of these cars? I found precisely *one* on USA Amazon, and it was cheap, iirc, $35. I was thinking of getting it just for the novelty. Are there tuning products for this scale? i.e. tires, motors, etc.
How many practice laps before this was was shown I know the F1 cars I bought don't stay on the track on the corners.The 1/43 scale magnets wouldn't allow the F1s to work on my Carrera track so I took the magnets out and then they did race but soon as it came to the corners they kept sliding out of the slot ? if that is what the guides sit in, my choice is 1/32 much easier to handle without the magnets, the grandson & granddaughter loves it when the slot cars do the drift on the corners.
@@thatslotcarguy yea but it only works when you press the lever right down then press the trigger I figured this on the Xmas presant I just got the kids an that and it ended up with cars in the wall 😂
They lack straight line speed for a track that big. Except the Artin. That thing looked like a rocket. Beating the other 3 cars best times on the opening lap.
just got 2 1/43 scale slot cars SF71H & Mercedes AMG F1 W09 #1 the wheels kept spinning no grip #2 on lane 1 the car went anti clockwise lane 2 clockwise on my 1/32 - 1/24 scale Carrera analog track, front wheels not touching the track so I done some braid leveling but still rear wheels didn't have any traction. help needed please.
Try sanding the tyres with some sand paper, easiest way is to place the car on the track and hold some sand paper under the rears and slowly move the car from side to side keeping it level if possible. The car going in the wrong direction maybe wired wrong? You could re solder the wires in opposite position
@@thatslotcarguy thanks for the help, the other question why does 1 car run anti clockwise on lane 1 and on lane it runs clockwise ? the analog 1/32 have a switch to change polarity, I didn't finish high school, so with science this has me baffled. I did try using some sticky tape and run the tyres around to make it sticky ???? LOL didn't work.
@@thatslotcarguy done the sand paper but still certain parts of the track the car will stop and the wheels will spin talk about doing a burn out without smoking from the tyres.

Thanks for watching mate.
That little artin was a beast..it was really fun to drive
That was a fun comparison Trav 🤙🏼 that Artin has some serious straight line speed!
Thanks mate..the artin was a beast

Man it's my pleasure and thanks for the feedback
It’s only in 360p SD. Makes it look like a show from the 90’s. Thanks for sharing
👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
🤣🤣🤣 I think an upgrade is needed
Track time is NEVER wasted time! 😁
Good comparison ,the last one had the go down the straight 👍
Awesome Trav. Nice job. 👌
Hahaha… that was awesome Mate great video
Good honest review. 1/43 can be fun on larger tracks…
Hi Travis very interesting I like your thinking great youtube thank you regards rhys watsonia

Making an adapter isn’t very hard give it a go.
@@Racer-X-143 Any resources you could share?
Little buggers move pretty good.
Did you have to modify the guide pin/keel? To run on 1/32 track?

I haven't tested that but I don't think it would be a lot of fun as the cars would probably struggle to pass
Nice comparison. Did you run the Go cars stock or change the guides?
Completely stock
Hello Slotcarguy,
I just like saying that , lol.
So how is the Artin car setup? Is it running with a faster motor?
And is that time a 1/32 scale killer?
Best Regards ,

🤣🤣🤣 g'day mate.
The artin is a beast and it is most definitely a 1/32 killer

G'day , I was running the standard Carrera power supply,14.8 v
@@thatslotcarguy Thanks, I was asked if Carrera GO would run on our Standard Scalextric Track, now I know it will if we adjust the Voltage (as I suspected) and should be great fun.
@@Kamikaziidare I would not adjust the power output, 12v will be fine

I have 1/43 digital so I will check for you and upload a video
@@thatslotcarguy Cool! Thanks!

I would guess they would run the same speed if the voltage were equal
I just bought a Carrea 1/32 Analog race car set and i want to buy more track but all the track i can find says digital track ?
It’s all the same the evolution the 132 and 124 digital
You know theirs a turbo button on the ceorara go track
You mean a turbo button on the controller ?
@@thatslotcarguy yea but it only works when you press the lever right down then press the trigger I figured this on the Xmas presant I just got the kids an that and it ended up with cars in the wall 😂

When I try to run my 1:43 on my larger track, the magnets pull the car to the track so hard that it can’t move. Has anyone else had that problem?
Did you drove the Artin F1 on a 14.8 V, because the Artin are for 6 V
I did, absolute monster
Please do more with 1/43 scale cars
That looks like a nice rhythm layout IMHO. Is that your design?
This was one of my many designs I have made for the channel

The rail may have raised slightly in that spot, when it stops again have a closer look at the condition of that piece of track, it can raise or pinch
Still waiting on your ho scale review. 😁
That is coming...once I have a track design I will start reviewing HO
Anyone has resources to good 1/43th cars besides the Carrera go!!! ones? Would be highly appreciated!
If you can find kyosho d43 grab them, I would say the are the best available but no longer made
@@thatslotcarguy Thank you so much! Will they run on Carrera go!!! tracks?
@@proastroz5759 they sure will mate
@@thatslotcarguy Cheers mate, much appreciated! Looks like Ninco & SCX also have 1/43th cars - are they any good?
Keep the background noise down.
No please?
@@thatslotcarguy Well said.
