Some accessories simply extend the track, and some change how you drive on it. The Scalextric Outer Curve Fence Border R3 falls into that second category. The pack includes four extension borders for the outer perimeter of the curves and four flexible guardrail fences that act as a containment barrier when things get fast or when the magnet is out of the equation.
More track on the bends, more room for the slide
The outer border adds support surface exactly where it matters most: on the outer arc of the curve, where cars tend to run wide when the line opens up. This makes particular sense in non-magnet driving, where the rear of the car works more freely and needs that extra margin to stay on the track. The flexible guardrail fence completes the package by absorbing impacts without damaging the bodywork or dislodging the track section something any slot car enthusiast appreciates after a few intense sessions.
Compatibility and hassle-free assembly
Designed for the Scalextric Original and Advance systems in 1/32 scale, assembly is handled by a side clip in a matter of seconds, no tools needed and no gaps. Made in plastic, the set is light but sturdy, and fits the aesthetic of standard Scalextric curve sections. On a home layout, four units are enough to cover the full arc of a bend and give the whole thing that permanent circuit feel that sets a well-equipped track apart from a half-built one.
A detail that drivers notice
It is not the most eye-catching accessory in the catalogue, but it is one of the most appreciated on track. Anyone who has lost a car off the outer edge of a fast curve knows exactly what this is for. And anyone running No-Magnet will put it near the top of their upgrade list.
