Super Track System (STS)

STS or Super Track System was produced in Spain in the mid to late 1980's, and was created to re-enact the excitement of the Camel Trophy and Paris Dakar 4x4 events of the 80’s and earlier.

At 1:43 scale, it is smaller than normal sized Scalextrics (1:32), but the vehicles will work on the larger sized Scalextrics track. STS Vehicles were designed with a clever slot guide at the end of a spring loaded arm and when added to a 4x4 drive system ensured that the vehicles could climber over a series of obstacles, while the guide remains in contact with the track.

I first became interested in STS through my love of Land Rovers as STS produced a number of Camel Trophy Land Rovers, I currently have eleven of these vehicles, which I think leaves me only with a few missing from the original 'Official' and 'non-official' Production runs.

A great source of information on STS comes courtesy of Peter Zivanovic, from his excellent website http://www.zcarslotracing.co.uk/, which first got me interested in STS! (Although I'm not sure if he continues to update the site)

Photographs of my vehicles can be seen by clickign on the below image, I'm always interested in buying or selling these, so let me know if you have one or would like one of mine
