Great Video Brother. My box is on the way so I'm brushing up by watching this video over and over!

[@Wachuko-1]

I ordered the box in preparation for when I purchase my track set. Thank you for the easy to follow video.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

I’m glad it was helpful!

[@biglacy2007]

Good job Alex even I can follow your instructions! You make very simple!

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

Happy to hear that!

[@atftbone]

Thanks for showing the installation, Good information.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

No problem 👍

[@linonatuzzi9712]

Great video. going to order one.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

Good choice! LOL. Find me on FB👍🏽

[@jrodslotcars5278]

Awesome video 👍

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

Thank you 👍

[@CarreraTrackOntheFloor]

I wish Carrera would offer a switchable option from the factory.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

I agree they could draw a greater crowd if their system was more flexible.

[@jhardy33]

Looks amazing and is exactly what I’m looking for. How can I get info on pricing and ordering? Thanks.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

If you’re on Facebook lookup axel_box homepage. You can reach me directly via that group

[@hanifaljami1974]

Please, tell me where to order one of these Axel Box. I need one bad.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

If you’ve got Facebook search for the AxelBox homepage

[@lewbrooks8935]

Well the video is very good. What difference is there in using the existing wires of the Axel Box and attaching them (crimping? not sure of the term) to the cu wires and lane wires? Thanks

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

No difference other than the wire gauge difference is very big. Small factory wires and larger AxelBox wires. You’ve have to be sure the crimps are snug otherwise you’re chance of failure is higher..

[@SpareRoomSlotCars]

It looks like you used the same wireless controllers, or were some dedicated to the analog cars

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

Some controllers for digital as analog - I just use controller 5-6 as they don’t get used very much on my track

[@oldschoolF1]

Hi don’t you need to disconnect the black wire in the single and double straight lane changers?

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

No it is my understanding these jumpers are there to power the changing lanes, but do not cross from one side to the other rending the analog mode to fail

[@paperworld6598]

Does it still works with smart race app when in analog mode?

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

It sure does. You have to have the add-on feature that allows you to run the SmartRace connect server. You’ll then have a second device set up to visually count the laps (I use an old iPhone for this). It works very well

[@user-vq9gd4rh5r]

Very interested in purchasing one of your axel boxes how would I do that?

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

If you have Facebook look for the AxelBox homepage

[@patbateman6729]

better than the Tek Slot unit?

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

They do essentially the same thing, this video is just my interpretation of the product

[@DeanCArnold]

Is it possible to purchase an Axel Box without Facebook? I am not a member of Facebook and prefer not to join.

[@Sunshine_Speedway]

If you know someone who has FB ge them to contact me via the AxelBox homepage. It’s far easier to share information privately via this method than over UA-cam.
