Product Information
Full details
The Carrera Hump/Bridge Set is designed for slot car enthusiasts using 1:43 scale track systems who want to add verticality and excitement to their racing layouts. It provides an immediate upgrade to track complexity, allowing for realistic hump bridges or overpasses; however, users should ensure they have enough straight track sections available to manage the incline/decline transitions properly without causing cars to de-slot.

Yes, this set is fully compatible with the Carrera DIGITAL 143 series.
Does this set include the supports?
Yes, the set includes 4 supports to ensure the bridge remains stable during use.
Are these track pieces compatible with Carrera 1:32 scale systems?

What is the total length of the bridge components?

How do I store the bridge components?

Troubleshooting
Cars losing contact on the hump
Verify that the track supports are firmly in place and the track sections are fully snapped together without gaps.
Cars de-slotting at the peak
Ensure the incline angle is not too steep by spreading the transition pieces over a longer distance of your layout.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the bridge, start by identifying the starting point for your incline on your existing flat track. Snap the concave pieces into place using the provided track connectors to create the upward slope. Insert the support pillars underneath the convex (peak) sections to provide stability. This set is specifically designed for Carrera GO!!!, GO!!! Plus, and DIGITAL 143 series; it is not compatible with larger 1:32 scale tracks. To care for the set, wipe the track surface with a lint-free cloth periodically to maintain electrical conductivity, and avoid bending the plastic connector tabs during disassembly to ensure they remain snug over time.
