Upgrade any Circuit 1, 2, or 3 race set to the next size by purchasing specially boxed Expansion Packs

Scalextric now offers 3 new track expansion packs which are designed to expand and enhance your home racing sets.  These packs were designed to add on to the new 1999 sets, but they will work just as well with the older sets as well.   There are no differences in the track pieces themselves, but the borders and crash barriers have a whole new look.  Buying these packs also saves money over buying the track pieces individually.

Each boxed expansion pack includes all the track pieces necessary to upgrade to the next level circuit as well as all of the new sand trap borders needed.

The expansion packs are made to upgrade each circuit to the next level. So Circuit 1 + Expansion pack A will give you Circuit 2, Circuit 2 + Expansion pack B will give you Circuit 3, Circuit 3 + Expansion pack C will give you Circuit 4.

Ninco Home Racing Sets

Ninco scale racing products are made in Spain where the hobby is very popular, especially for the WRC Rally enthusiasts.  Ninco products are very well made and they use a flexible vinyl material similar to Scalextric so the track is somewhat flexible.  This feature prevents breakage and permits some flex in the turns if you choose to create a gentle banked curve.  Ninco track is a full inch wider than Scalextric, but not as wide as Carrera track.   We stock the most popular Ninco race sets, offering you a variety of choices to match your budget.  Ninco’s largest set, the DTM touring car set includes 30 feet of track.  This set is also the greatest value.  Check out the details of all the Ninco race sets we stock below.

Ninco Race Sets do allow you to run all the common brands of slot cars like Fly, Scalextric, SCX, Vanquish, Slot-it, MRRC, and Carrera and even some old vintage stuff.  Ninco uses a 14.8 volt wall transformer common to the other popular brands.  You may also add a second power supply to any Ninco track with the purchase of another transformer and a dual power track.  Ninco also offers electronic timing accessories as well as upgraded controllers and even an adapter track to connect to Scalextric/SCX track in case you are already committed to either of those.  Sport Craft stocks all Ninco track pieces and accessories and our knowledgeable sales staff can assist you with your questions.   Please scroll down to learn more about the fine Ninco products we offer.

Scalextric now have a truely global appeal, with the latest models appealing to fans of all motor racing genres, and now with the forthcoming Scalextric Moto GP motor bikes, due in 2004, Scalextric are destined to take Slot Car Racing to new heights.
