Buying Carrera Digital accessories in the UK isn't that easy. There certainly aren't many bargains as Carrera is a really niche product in a market dominated by Scalextric. Carrera retailers can order anything for you from the Carrera catalogue on 'special order' via the UK distributor, but you don't always see much in stock.

I have a Carrera Digital DTM set, which I bought new from Germany. I have also bought two extra DTM cars and various accessories from Germany - plus a few second-hand buys from UK sellers on eBay. What you'll find from German retailers are unboxed accessories and cars split from sets. You can save a bit, although Carrera is still an expensive option. Even at £175, the 10109 set with two controllers and charger base isn't ridiculous. I can only find it in stock at Jadlams in the UK.

You can use up to six of the wireless controllers - or a combination of wireless and wired digital controllers - with the Carrera D132/124 Control Unit, as explained here...



An option - if you refer more traditional 'trigger' controllers - are the UK-made Truspeed Carrera-D VI controllers here. These are a high-quality plug-in replacement for the original Carrera Digital wired controllers. They are on my shopping list... The plan was for us to have some Carrera DTM fun last summer - but Covid got in the way!
