Basic Tuning Carrera Digital 132 Slot cars

Carrera Digital 132 slot cars are robust and are often the first choice for newcomers to slot racing. While they already offer plenty of fun straight out of the box, a few carefully selected tuning upgrades can significantly improve their handling, making them smoother, faster and more enjoyable to drive on a Carrera Digital 132 track.

  • Ortmann tyres: The rear axle is fitted with perfectly trued Ortmann tyres – the single most effective upgrade for increased grip and consistent performance.

  • Cockpit replacement: On many models, the original cockpit can be replaced with a lightweight 2D cockpit insert, reducing weight and lowering the centre of gravity.

  • Motor break-in: The motor is run in for several hours at low voltage, increasing its performance by up to 10%, depending on the individual motor.

  • Vehicle break-in: The motor and gearbox are carefully run in under load. Afterwards, the rear axle is cleaned, the gearbox is re-greased and the bearings are lubricated.
