It seems like your issue with Scalextric track is that the cars come off too easily. Changing your track system doesn’t seem the best way of tackling this issue - working on the cars does.
I wrote a step-by-step guide for the Jadlam blog during the pandemic to help tame the Scalextric Ford Mustang GT4. It can be used to tune any Scalextric model, plus cars from other brands too. You can find it here: https://blog.jadlamracingmodels.com/tag/...ic-tuning/
Some basic pointers are the loosen the body screws, scuff up (or replace) the rear tyres and sometimes adding a little weight to the underpan. If your preference is to run without traction magnets, there’s a blog post about that too.
Another way to help control the cars is to use the ARC Air powerbase and ARC (or Magic) app - Carrera, Policar etc simply don’t offer anything like it. By using the Max Power settings and the Throttle Curve, you can make a tricky car more manageable and more fun to drive. It’s a great feature of a superb system - make the most of it!
Most of the ARC Air features of the ARC and Magic apps are described in my ARC Pro Guide (https://slotracer.online/arc-pro-guide/index.php) and introduction to the Magic app (https://slotracer.online/community/showt...p?tid=2811). The big difference is that you can ignore all the car to controller pairing required for the digital set-up and focus on the fun stuff.
I hope that helps.
