Hi all, quick question:
I would like to be able to run 1/43 cars on my carrera track. I'm kind of in the dark about this, will it work? What kind of pwr supply volts and ohms for controllers would I need?
Lots of the 1/43 cars look so good, just need a reason to get on board.
Thx- Bub

Thanks - this sport/hobby is so much fun and I appreciate the info.
I'll pick up a car and try it out with my 13.8 v pwr and 45ohm parma controllers.

That will work but I find that they work good at 12v and 2 amps they fly at that setting on my track that is with a stock motor and the mag lowered a bit

I imaging the 1/43s are a couple $$$$ less than a 1/24 too.
The 1/43 Carrera and SCX motors are pretty tough; I sometimes crank my pyramid all the way up to 18 and haven't burnt one yet. (Chips on the other hand are a differeent story)

Glad I asked about 1/43 stuff- I am such a goober I thought HO was the same thing... my bad!
I have a neat looking F-1 Ferrari on order and can't wait to see how it works/looks.
Cheers!
