Will the new 1/43 SCX cars work on Artin track? Just asking regarding the slot depths / guide pins and other general compatibility issues.

I have a couple of the generic tuner cars and need to know if they'd work on Artin track. :confused:

Thanks!

Hey doba!

Yes, they should work just fine. It's the Carrera GO! cars that you have watch out for - they use the thickest pins for guides and are a lot deeper than SCX and Artin.

I know several 1/43 slot car racers using Artin track with SCX so you are good to go!

Hello! We sell tones of the Carrera 1/43 cars.....we run them on our 1/32 track. We have a class for them. All we do to the 1/43 Carrera cars, is grind down the guide pin and that's all she wrote. The carrera 1/43 cars are of better quality and look moe real...than the SCX and Artin 1/43 car, but the Artin cars are the fastest out of the 3 1/43 companies. We race the Carerra 1/43 at 20V...they do have very good brakes and they kick butt. The kids run them at 12V and they are fast and a blast. The Carrera cars do handle the best...I mean it. Try they you will like them. The best handling 1/43 Carrera cars, are the Nascars, LMPs and the F1s.
