Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these borders compatible with Scalextric Standard Curve (Radius 2) track?
No, these inner borders are specifically designed for Scalextric Radius 4 curves only and will not fit other radii.
How many borders are included in the set?
The set includes four (4) individual Radius 4 inner border pieces.
Can I use these with third-party track brands?
These borders are engineered for Scalextric track and are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly with track systems from other manufacturers.
Do these come with outer borders?
No, this product contains only inner borders for Radius 4 curves.
How do I clean the borders?
Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Can these borders be used on banked turns?
While they are designed for standard Radius 4 curves, their application on banked turns would depend on the specific angle of the bank and would require careful fitting.
Troubleshooting
Borders do not click into place.
Ensure you are using Scalextric Radius 4 track. Verify that the track and border are clean and free of debris. Check that you are aligning the correct connection points.
Borders appear loose after attachment.
Re-align the border and press firmly on all connection points until a secure click is felt. Ensure the track itself is on a stable surface.
Cars are still derailing despite borders.
Check car's magnetic downforce settings, tire grip, and overall track cleanliness. Ensure the speed is appropriate for the curve angle and radius. The borders guide but do not guarantee cars stay on track at excessive speeds or with poor setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These inner borders are designed to clip directly onto the designated Scalextric Radius 4 track sections. Ensure the track is clean and dry before attempting to attach the borders. Align the connection points on the border with the corresponding points on the track piece and press firmly until it clicks into place. For best results, attach all border pieces for a continuous curve before running your cars.
Compatibility:
This product is specifically designed for use with Scalextric Radius 4 track pieces. They are *not* compatible with other Scalextric track radii (e.g., Radius 2, Radius 3) or with track systems from other manufacturers. Always verify you are using Radius 4 track before attempting to attach these borders.
Care:
To maintain the condition of the borders, wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic. Store the borders in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading. Periodically check that the borders are securely attached to the track.
