The Policar Starter Set PO-T005Z includes 3.2 metres of high grip track, an adjustable 24 W power supply, three-wire controllers with automatic braking, and Policar's exclusive interchangeable geometry. Everything needed to start racing with competition quality from day one.
With the Starter Set PO-T005Z, Policar brings a professional-level circuit within reach of any slot racing enthusiast
This starter kit is not a typical toy circuit. Behind the Policar brand is Galileo Engineering, the same Italian family company that has been developing Slot.it and Politoys since 1998, and that competitive DNA is evident in every piece: high-grip rigid plastic surface, rust-resistant stainless steel rails, and a track geometry designed to facilitate the creativity of the enthusiast. With 3.2 meters of assembled track, the PO-T005Z is the perfect base for beginners and the ideal complement for those looking to expand their collection of Policar modules.
Features and Highlights
Interchangeable Geometry (patent pending)
The Policar system is designed under a principle of total interchangeability between 90° curves: a curve R1, R2, R3, or R4 of the same angle can be replaced by any other without altering the geometry of the rest of the layout. This means you can redesign the rhythm changes of your circuit without starting from scratch, a real advantage for both carpet setups and more permanent installations.
High-grip Plastic and Steel Rails
The track surface incorporates a special texture that provides grip even on cars without traction magnets. The stainless steel rails ensure a constant electrical flow and minimize voltage drops, something that is particularly noticeable in prepared cars or those with higher consumption motors. The distance between rails is 90 mm, the ideal standard for 1/32 scale.
Adjustable 24 W Power Supply Included
Policar includes an adjustable power supply with seven voltage positions and a power of 24 W in the set. This detail sets it apart from other sets on the market: it allows you to adapt the circuit's response to the driver's level, from a child's first steps to more demanding sessions with prepared cars. Please note that the available power may vary by market; consult local specifications.
Three-wire Mechanical Controllers with Automatic Braking
The two included mechanical speed controllers (P028 + P029) use a three-wire system that activates automatic braking as soon as the trigger is released. This significantly improves braking control and reduces off-track incidents, especially in tight R1 curves. It is essential to fully insert the connectors of the controllers into the powerbase before connecting the power supply to the mains.
Multiple Side Clip System
The 40 locking clips for intersections (P076) keep the track sections perfectly aligned and flat, preventing steps between segments that could cause derailments. This system is especially useful when the circuit grows with additional modules.
Functional Edges and Barriers
The outer and inner edges, 6 cm wide, snap into the side holes of each section, including the bridges. The triple-rail protective barriers are designed to stay in place during strong impacts, protecting both the car and the track.

Compatibility with Other Track Systems
Using optional adapters, the Policar track is compatible with 1/32 scale Ninco tracks and the classic Polistil/Policar and Fleischmann systems manufactured between 1970 and 2000. This interoperability allows enthusiasts with old pieces to integrate them into the new system without discarding them.
Ideal for...
- Beginners in slot racing who want to avoid the usual quality compromises in entry-level kits.
- Collectors with Slot.it, NSR or Scaleauto cars looking for a track that matches their models.
- Users with Ninco circuits who wish to expand or upgrade their layout with higher quality modules.
- Families wanting to set up a durable and reusable circuit without sacrificing robustness.
Points to Consider
- Always assemble the sections on a flat surface to protect the connection tabs.
- Do not place metallic objects on the track; they can cause short circuits that damage the power supply.
- Always disconnect the power supply from the mains when the circuit is not in use or when performing cleaning tasks.
- Clean the rails with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid solvents.
- The circuit is not designed for outdoor use or in humid environments.
- The use of the power supply should be supervised by adults at all times.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do 1/32 scale cars from other brands like Slot.it or NSR run correctly on this track?
Yes. The Policar system is designed for 1/32 scale with a rail distance of 90 mm, the usual standard for cars of that scale. Cars from Slot.it, NSR, Scaleauto or Avant Slot, among others, are fully compatible.
Can this set be expanded with additional Policar modules?
Yes. The PO-T005Z is the starting point of the Policar modular system. All straight sections, curves R1, R2, R3 and R4, chicanes, and other Policar accessories are compatible with each other and connect using the same clip system.
Does the interchangeable geometry mean I need special tools to modify the layout?
No. The Policar system of interlocking and clips allows you to assemble, disassemble, and reconfigure the layout without tools. You simply fit the pieces together and secure them with the locking clips.
Are the included controllers suitable for prepared or club competition cars?
The mechanical controllers P028 + P029 are suitable for recreational use and for getting started in the hobby. For club competition or intensive use with high-power cars, many enthusiasts opt for more precise electronic controllers like those from Slot.it or other specialized brands.
What if I have old Ninco tracks? Can I integrate them?
Yes, using the corresponding adapters (sold separately). Compatibility includes 1/32 Ninco tracks and the classic Polistil/Policar and Fleischmann systems manufactured between 1970 and 2000.
Is the included power supply sufficient to run two cars simultaneously?
The 24 W power supply with seven voltage positions is sized for two lanes with standard recreational use. Its adjustable nature allows you to regulate the power according to the cars used and the skill level of the drivers.
