Some of the more frequent questions we get about 1:43 scale slot cars are: “How do I get more and different cars? … The selection is limited… I’d like to have such and such car but I can’t find it anywhere …”
The best answer is: “use anything you can lay your hands on that is remotely at scale and convert it into a slot car.”
In the following, you’ll find all kinds of examples of conversions with some info that should help you duplicate some of these, should you want to. This is by no means exhaustive, and if you visit the 1:43 Home Racing World forum you’ll find many more examples of great conversions there. This is also one of the greatest parts of this hobby, create your own car that you can actually drive on the track, and because it is 1:43 scale, it will be very cheap.
For more information on where to find some of the parts or cars mentioned here, start with this web page; for more info on 1:43 cars check this.
The first section below is dedicated to bodies, the second to motors, the third to chassis conversions, and the fourth to spare parts.
1. Bodies
There is a somewhat limited choice of bodies in both Artin and Carrera Go!!! But even on a budget you can still expand your stables easily as 1/43 is a scale rich in static models of all kinds.
AMT plastic kits
AMT makes easy to assemble 1:43 scale kits of very decent quality, the cars being mostly classic American muscle cars. These can be found quite easily on E-bay at prices that should be below $10 each. They can be converted quite easily on Carrera Go!!! chassis. In the picture below, the two Corvettes are actually sitting on a Carrera Go!!! Mini Cooper chassis. You can learn more about Carrera Go!!! Cars here.
Heller/Airfix plastic kits
Heller-Airfix makes many plastic models in 1:43 scale. These can be found at pretty much any hobby shop and can be quite easily converted on either Carrera Go!!! chassis or Artin chassis. You can see more on these kits conversions here. There are Le Mans cars (as shown on picture below), Rallye cars, classic European cars, …
Lindbergh plastic kits
Lindbergh is another company that makes 1:43 scale easy to assemble kits that can be found on E-bay. These are racecars from the 60’s and 70’s. Again, they are easiest to assemble on Carrera Go!!! chassis as in the picture below: Ford GT on an Aston Martin chassis and Chaparral on a Corvette C5R chassis.
Legend of Racing resin bodies
Legend of Racing has a set of 12 NASCAR cars spanning the 50’s to the 80’s. They are twelve cars in all in the collection and 18,000 of each car were made. They can be found easily through E-bay, although they have gotten a bit expensive of late at about $10 each. These cars can be easily converted on an Artin chassis (use an F1 chassis like those coming from the X22 Firebird) assuming that you get your hands on the so-called “chassis extenders” that can be found here (scroll a while until you see them) or e-mail The Judge.

Custom Resin Bodies
There are quite a few people and companies that make custom resin bodies in this scale. Some will be very expensive (like these); some will be cheaper if you look on E-bay (usually sold under the category resin kit) or like those shown here. For more info on these kits below, click here. They are designed to be mounted on Artin 1:43 chassis.
Vacuum Formed bodies by Matt4x4
Matt4x4 makes vacuum formed bodies that are very easily mounted on an Artin chassis. You can see the list and prices of bodies available from Matt at the Home Racing World Forum, scroll down ‘til you see his name.
Vacuum Formed bodies by Hotlaps23
Hotlaps23 makes vacuum formed bodies that are very easily mounted on an Artin chassis. You can look for him through google or look for Hoptlaps23 at the Home Racing World 1/43 Forum.
Vacuum Formed bodies by FastSide
Fastside makes vacuum formed bodies that are designed to be mounted on an Artin 1:43 chassis. He has about 50 different body styles that are run on a 1/43 rd 1/8 mile scale dragstrip in Texas. If interested give him a call at 1 254 799 6335 (preferred) or e-mail alfredside@aol.com.
There are other sources for vacuum formed 1:43 bodies, for example Peter “Pfuetze” in Austria makes some, check here and now Liberty (Steve) from Rand Design also makes some really nice ones, check here.
Fastlane Superslick bodies
It turns out that there are fairly nice and cheap 1/43 bodies that can be found on Amazon: Fast Lane 1:43 Scale body Kit Super Slick 2 Pack for $5.99. These are also found at Toys’R Us and other places. With minor work, they can be adapted to the Artin chassis. More details can be found here.
Windracer NASCAR plastic bodies
Dollar General and other Dollar stores have the so-called Windracer cars that can be found as cheap as $1.50 each. They are very easy to convert if you use the chassis extenders (They can be found here, scroll a while until you see them, or e-mail The Judge). Similar bodies can be found at Wallmart sold as pull back cars.
Other plastic bodies
Pink Sloth Croods 2
Anywhere you can find a plastic body at scale, you can convert it
Die Cast Metal bodies
One cheap and quick way of having 1:43 cars with great detail is to convert any of the multitudes of die cast metal cars available in this scale. It is easily done although the cars can be quite difficult to drive due to their weight. When choosing a diecast model to convert, some are 2 to 3 times heavier than others, so try to pick the lighter ones. You can equally easily convert to Artin and/or Carrera Go!!! chassis. More details can be found here.
Paper/Cardboard bodies by Hotlaps23
Hotlaps23 makes plastified paper/cardboard Dirt Late Model bodies that are designed to be mounted on an Artin chassis. You can see the list and prices of bodies available from Hoptlaps23 at the Home Racing World Forum, scroll down ‘til you see his name.
Make your own Dirt Late Model
Using one of the Artin race trucks and some styrene, you can make your own Dirt Late Model very easily.
Below is a modified car that started life as an Artin C5R Corvette.
Anything goes
You can even do bigger models like campers and trucks. These will usually not break track records, but they are fun to take out once in a while.
Artin repaints
Maybe the easiest way to get nice looking bodies is to take old or existing Artin bodies and repaint and redecal them. Entire batches of old Artin bodies can easily be found for a few $$ on E-bay. More details can be found on the pictures below can be found here.
2. Motors
The stock Artin configuration uses a standard S-can motor, can drive. This means that you can pretty much use any 1/32 motor and pop it into an Artin chassis. Why you would do this with a $20 slot.it or Ninco motor is beyond me, so below you’ll find some cheaper examples. The Carrera go!!! motor is different as it stands pretty much on it’s own without many known replacements. More on motors can be found here.
Artin chassis with Carrera Go!!! motor
You can find at Slot Car World the Carrera Go!!! motors for sale. This motor can be mounted easily onto the Artin chassis as is, you’ll just need 2-part epoxy to fix it in place as it is much smaller than the Artin stock motor. You can also keep the pinion that comes on the Go!!! motor to mesh with the Artin axle gear.
Artin chassis with Electronic Goldmine motor
You can find at Electronic Goldmine a great little DC motor that is ideal for this scale: model G9330 at $1.25 each. This motor can be mounted easily onto the Artin chassis as is, you’ll just need 2-part epoxy to fix it in place as it is much smaller than the Artin stock motor. You can also keep the pinion that comes on the goldmine motor to mesh with the Artin axle gear. Note that this motor is the same size as the Scalextric F1 motors and uses the same pinions.
Artin chassis with green end bell motor
You can find at Slot Car World (and a few other slot retailers) a great little motor that will let you run your Artin cars at 12-14 V and be competitive with Carrera Go!!! Cars. This motor is a direct replacement of the stock Artin motor and just snaps into place. Because this motor has much more torque than the Artin stock motor, it is highly recommended to glue it in place from the sides (hot glue).
Artin chassis with XMODs motor
You can find at Radio Shack a series of cheap motors for the XMODs RC cars. Because this motor also has much more torque than the Artin stock motor, it is highly recommended to glue it in place from the sides (hot glue). These motors are much faster than the Artin motors at 6-7 Volts (rated at 30,000 rpms at 6V) and have much more torque, but they require much more current (more than 1.5 Amps at 12V) that the stock Artin wall warts cannot provide.
3. Chassis
Artin chassis are as simple as it comes. More details on the Artin chassis can be found here. Carrera Go!!! chassis are specific to each car and as far as I know are not sold as spares other than at SCW.
Artin chassis with guide
You can easily replace the Artin pin guide and braids with a guide flag, this makes for a different driving where the cars will slide a bit more, check out more details in this article.
Artin chassis with extender
When fitting a car with a longer wheel base on an Artin chassis is a problem, you can use the so-called “chassis extenders” that can be found here (scroll a while until you see them) or e-mail The Judge. As can be seen from the pictures below, you can mount the chassis in the bodies by just gluing them (left) or you can epoxy some body posts at the appropriate locations on the body and screw in the chassis (right)
Artin chassis with guide flag extender
Pink Sloth Pics
The Judge also makes a chassis extender that can hold a guide flag and let you remove the Artin stock pin guide and braids.
Aluminum chassis
The Judge also makes a complete custom chassis. Details can be found here. There are a few variations of that chassis, check it out, the quality is good and the prices are great!!!
Scratch built chassis
Of course, just like in the other scales, you can decide to just scratch-build your chassis. The example below shows a styrene scratch-built chassis. You can see more on this chassis here.
4. After Market parts
Tires & Wheels from Liberty
Liberty sells the best tires and wheels for Artin 1/43. See here. He sells rear aluminum wheels with silicon tires, front aluminum wheels with rubbers, but his rear tires also fit the standard Artin plastic wheel.
Ranch Design and KD tires have now teamed up to bring you the best possible tires for all your 1/43 cars, from Artin to Carrera Go!!! to SCX compact !!!
Gearing and Axles from Liberty
Liberty also sells rear axles and gearing. See here. He has 0.085” axles (Artin axles are larger than 2 mm but smaller than 3/32), crown gears and 1.5 mm pinions for the Electronic GoldMine motor. To my knowledge, Liberty is the only one offering crown gears that fit the Artin axles.
Other sources for pinions
For all standard Artin motors, any source of standard 2 mm pinions will do. For the Goldmine motors that have a 1.5 mm shaft, other than Liberty above, you can use the Scalextric pinion packs for their F1 cars or pinions from Tim Johnson at Slot Car Heroes.
