Scalextric Digital Slot Car Track System

The Scalextric digital system seems to be the most versatile and cross compatible as standard (non-digital) slot cars from Scalextric. Other brands of slot cars can be converted to work in the Scalextric digital system. Scalextric's digital cars will work on non-digital track layouts (from any company). The Scalextric digital system is based on their Sport track. The digital and standard Sport track pieces are fully compatible. Originally, lane changing took place on a 45-degree curve track section, which may not be very realistic. Now, straight and curve pit lane track is available and straight line passing tracks have arrived. The Scalextric digital slot track system is designed to allow up to six cars to race simultaneously. Scalextric offers a converter Set, so owners of existing track can buy everything they need to upgrade to digital. Read more at the Scalextric Digital Website.

Power Supply Transformers

One transformer is supplied with the Scalextric Sport Digital Power Base. This will supply sufficient power to drive three cars. A second power supply (#C7004), together with the first power supply, can be connected to the secondary socket (P2) to supply enough power to drive four to six cars.

Edit

The Digital Controllers

The controller has two buttons and a trigger. The trigger increases power to the car while the large oval button is a brake and the small round button is the lane change activator. These controllers should only be used with the Sport Digital and Sport World Scalextric products. The hand controller can be set up so that braking can be activated by use of the brake button, the trigger or both. Braking can also be turned off (the default setting).

Product Warning

DO NOT place any standard power bases, Pacer or Challenger systems in a circuit that contains the Sport Digital power base. Even if the non-Sport Digital power bases have no power, they may still damage your Sport Digital system.
