Scalextric Digital
Convert to Digital! It's easy to convert to Scalextric Sport Digital (SSD), all you'll need are new controllers / hand throttles and a powerbase + transformer.
Your 'analogue' cars will not run on digital, but most recent cars are convertable using a retro-fit chip. Some soldering may be required, and you may need to drill a small hole in the base for the sensor, but the latest generation of cars have a slot for the chip.
Your Sport Track will be fully compatible, but for earlier Classic track will need to add 'Converter Sections'. There are sensors in some sections of track that see the cars as they pass over them, to enable lap counting, lap timing, and control over the points in the lane changers.
The benefits are huge. You can race up to 6 cars on the same track. With a lane changer cars can swap lanes at the press of a button, with several lane changers you can introduce overtaking to your fun. With a racing curve cars will change lane automatically. The hand throttles have dynamic braking at the press of a button. You can pre-set numerous different racing modes in the Powerbase, incl. Laps, Timed & Pursuit. The most recent addition is the Pit Lane, with endless possibilities for design of the single lane entry and exit.
There are several ways to start. Buy the C7011 or C7040 Conversion Kit, or add in one of the race ready boxed sets to your existing layout. If you are worried at all about what to do, please give us a ring.

The new Easyfit Digital Plug System
The Scalextric Digital Plug is a revolutionary device, which will enable simple ‘plug and play’ conversion for all Digital Plug Ready (DPR) cars released in 2007. The Scalextric Digital Plug is installed simply by unscrewing and removing the back panel of the DPR car and push fitting the Digital Plug. Screw the new panel back into place and your DPR car is converted to Digital in less than 60 seconds!
The Scalextric Digital system offers multi-car racing (up to four cars on just one lane!) with interactive lane changing functionality, allowing racers to over-take, introduce pitstops and even the ability to out-brake competitors into the corners!.
In total, 9 Scalextric Digital Plug Ready (DPR) cars will be launched in 2007 and will feature models such as the 2006 Le Mans-winning Audi R10 Diesel, Ferrari 430GTR and the Ford Mustang.
