i have recently purchased a set, and i want to know as i have two vauxhall/opel calibras can they be upgraded to magne traction, so they dont go ff on every corner, as the audi tt i got with it have the magne traction and stick to the track like glue.

The answer is a simple "yes". All you have to do is to obtain new wide and flat magnets from www.electricdreams.com or another retailer, and epoxy them under the car, just ahead of the motor's location if the motor is fitted sideways, or behind the motor and just ahead of the rear axle if the motor is fitted inline.

I recommend that you read the following to find out the history of the traction magnet on slot cars:
