    Nice building at home theese things, the rail how will be made? I thought could be fun for 1/43 rallying making a custom adapter for Carrera Go!!!-Policar. Here in Italy are available a lot of Polistil tracks to restore and revive with Policar power supply, and when surface is not recoverable a dirt track conversion becomes the easiest choices

      Hi, would there be an option to have a separate button for the functions rather than having to press the rotary switch? I'm not a fan of pressing rotary switches as sometimes you can change values rather than pushing the button down. I have press rotaries on some other items I have and they never quite work every time, a simple button works out best for me as you don't have to be so careful.

    1. Can the sensitivity be adjusted to detect different distances from the box 2. Can you set a number of laps then record the time to complete the laps 3.

    I bought one of these a couple of months ago and it’s by far the worse handling car out of all my gt3 cars. Within 10 minutes it sideswiped a barrier at relatively low speed cracking the rear bodywork and the rear light lens and bumper flying off. I found the same problems with the protruding chip which caused frequent deslotting. I glued the chip inside the pan but there were still other issues. I put an upgraded magnet in it, the same that I’ve used on other cars but it was binding against the crown wheel. Every problem I seemed to solve made another problem. Sadly it’s been confined to the spare parts bin. Won’t by another Scalextric car with this type of chassis.

      funnily enough, I got the the number 66 SD team car Parker racing Porsche 911 GT3 car, and had similar issues, the car kicks the rear end out too much and gets caught too easily in the bends, either coming to a complete stop, or leaving the track, I found that releasing the screws a little to let the body float a little on the chassis helps a bit, luckily I have not damaged mine yet, but it's only 3 months old, and I have had a couple of scares with it, rear wing has only popped off once, though thank god and they clip back in these days so that is a bonus, no horrible looking glue remnants left on body work as with my previous DRP cars.
