Resources
Access guidance, tutorials and competition information to help your school take part in Scalextric4Schools. Registered teams also receive access to protected CAD files, templates and team resources.
Scalextric4Schools provides resources to support teachers and students as they design, make and race their own Scalextric cars. Some resources are available publicly, while registered teams receive additional access through the protected team area.
Team Resources
​Team Resources are available to schools registered for Scalextric4Schools.
Once a teacher has registered their school and created a website member account, access will be approved so they can download the protected resources needed to support their teams.
​
These resources will be updated for 2027 and include:
-
CAD files and downloadable models
-
chassis and component files
-
printable parts and support materials
-
design and portfolio templates
-
competition updates
-
official parts ordering information
-
event and finals information
​
Team Resources are only available to registered schools. Teachers must register their school and create a website member account before access is approved. Once approved, they can sign in and download the protected resources. Access is reviewed and reset on 1 September each year.
​
CAD Files
CAD files are provided to help teams get started, explore design ideas and develop their own Scalextric4Schools car.
Registered teachers can access CAD resources in two ways.
​
Onshape Teacher Team
Teachers using Onshape can request access to the Scalextric4Schools Teacher Team. This allows registered teachers to access shared Onshape resources and support materials directly within Onshape.
This is for teachers only, not students.
When joining the Onshape Scalextric4Schools Teacher Team, other teachers in the team may be able to see your name and email address within Onshape.
Teachers can request this when completing the registration form by selecting:
Yes, I would like to be added to the Onshape Scalextric4Schools Teacher Team.
If you miss this option on the registration form, or change your mind later, please email:

​
Downloadable CAD Files
For schools not using Onshape, generic CAD files will be available to download from the protected Team Resources area.
These may include:
-
STL files
-
STEP files
-
Parasolid files
-
printable components
-
chassis and support models
To protect the competition resources, CAD downloads are only available to registered schools through the Team Resources area.
​
Video Tutorials
To make tutorials easier for students to access, Scalextric4Schools video support is hosted on the OnTeacher YouTube channel.
OnTeacher provides CAD/CAM, Onshape and Design & Technology tutorials that support the skills needed for the competition. A dedicated Scalextric4Schools playlist will help teams get started, develop their designs and prepare for manufacture, testing and presentation.
​

Tutorials may support:
-
getting started with Onshape
-
editing chassis files
-
developing car body designs
-
preparing files for manufacture
-
3D printing
-
testing and improving designs
-
rendering and presentation
