I am sold! thank you so much.I'm getting a Carrera digital set for my upgrade + tekslot. I have a analog Carrera set. Wanted to go digital but didn't want to let go of my analog cars. I saw this guy on UA-cam had converted his digital track to run analog. But it looked real complicated. But this tekslot box makes it so simple.
Thanks a million! I just ordered my first set and I didn’t understand how they work yet. Now I think I understand that I can run both analog and digital cars on my track.
No joke I’ve been absolutely blown away with this hobby now that you’ve experienced it funny you think it’s just push a button and go but it’s amazing how much skill goes into winning a race
Man, that is so cool! My local track runs analog and with this I can get a Carrera track and run my analog car on it! that is so cool. I am getting one! I want a big one, the hunt begins! LOL
Thanks Fred I know the slot car stuff isn’t for all my airplane guys but it has brought so many new people to the channel really happy I decided to do them😍
So wait, in order to run old slot cars on this new state of the art slot car track, you either need to install computer chips in each of them, or go out and buy a little box that costs more than the entire track set?? Neither of those options seem like a good value.
Is there a adapter so I can run a carrera set in the uk as its come with a 2 pin socket & we in the uk have 3 pin electric sockets in our houses etc . Thank you for any advice you give me as I can't use my set at the mo , & an very disappointed by this . 😔 pls make a vid showing the adapter we need pls . Cheers . 🍻
Thanks for your review. I have just set up the Tek Slots system. With digital all runs as it should. With analog the cars and wireless controllers run great. My issue is with cars while in analog mode are not recognized by the track or race management system. In other words, there is no beep when the car passes over the start line sensor or the check lane. Nor is the race management system detecting the car to register laps. I use Yinglings HSSRMS. Have you had any issues with lap counting of analog cars?
Saw the price of it, at least the one at which it is marketed in Europe, around 250€. For that price i'll buy 2 different analog sets and change just the digital parts (which, on a standard set are either 3 or 5)....5 minutes work. No surprise it's not popular.
Help me out pls. Got smokey bandit evolution trans am. Put carrera digital chip in it and it runs great. But the lights the hobby shop installed don't work
I’m trying to find info on whether or not I can run non Carrera cars on my Carrera D132 set. I see you have some Fly cars, so I’m assuming you can, but this was mostly about analog/digital, also very helpful.
Good morning I loved your video, I have a question: Can I run Carrera analog cars and Carrera 132 digital cars AT THE SAME time on the same track? with the Tek-Slots track adapter plug and play option. IF it can be done without the adapter How it can be done?... I like to Run... them at the same time. Please let me know. THANK YOU
I've been doing HO scale and was considering doing a 1/32nd for the digital system and the great looking cars. Then I realized that most of the cars I really like in 1/32 are analog anyway, so I was getting bummed about that... Now I see this. I'm really going to have to get a better Grip on this stuff before I commit to anything because it's a little confusing. I've noticed that most people have the wireless thumb controllers that are making videos too... I have a few slot it controllers that can run digital and can also be wireless with the oxigen set up, but I think that is only for Scalextric? I have also heard that policar is going to have a digital track at some point too, so I need to consider that too. Hopefully I can understand what I am doing before I go buying a bunch of stuff that is not compatible with other stuff. I'm just afraid to commit to any specific brand because everyone seems to be an island to theirself compared to analog ho. I'm wanting to find a way to get everything compatible and I just don't know if that's possible. Thanks
Unfortunately when it comes to digital you will need to pick a brand. Your correct nobody’s stuff works out of the box on all tracks. So you would have to comment to a brand on digital.
@@MerryBoozerRC Hi, Can you tell me where I can find information on how to modify the curved lane changers, I am really interested how and why it needs to be done. Jim
They did currently he isn’t making any until December as they can’t get the chips for them. Check out the tel slot Facebook page (Joe the owner of tel slot) answers questions on there 😉
Currently they are changing the sales model to this new version on the website so I can’t send a link. if you got to the Tek-Slots Facebook page the gentlemen that makes them is on there and he will be able to sell it to you directly.

Glad you found the video. Definitely the easiest way to enjoy both

It’s amazing how advanced the slot cars and tracks are today.

Het Wesley! So cool that you have the versatility to do both modes. The track and details are looking off the hook! Thumbs up! Best regards!

Thank You!
This is amazing.
U did a fantastic job showing and describing using Tek Slot
Dang Wes... The lighting in this video looked pretty good.
Merica got some sexy new lenses and some new lights I’m digging them.
Very useful demo. Thanks a lot !
Not a problem and welcome to the channel❤️ definitely check out some of our other Slot car content
Can we find this for sale somewhere ?
TY
Thx

Informative video thank you.
I can’t find your Lakeland track, can you post a link. I found the track locator with one on Gary Rd.
I would love to have one, can you send me information to order it, please.
Where can I get one???

With this you can run any brand of analog car on the Carrera track. Digital can’t mix brands ever without changing chips in cars
@@MerryBoozerRC - That helps, thank you for the quick response! Great channel BTW, I subscribed as I was waiting for my set to arrive. 👍
I'm sorry, but if you add the scaletrex plug and play digital board to the delorean, doesn't that make it digital?
Good morning I loved your video, I have a question: Can I run Carrera analog cars and Carrera 132 digital cars AT THE SAME time on the same track? with the Tek-Slots track adapter plug and play option.

No one or the other not together if you set an analog car on a digital track it goes to full throttle and flys across the room
Awesome product! Will it still work ok if you have power extenders run on the track?
Yes it will
Sold out/No longer available everywhere... was it a bad product or did they just run out of stock?? Tek Slots FB page is no longer there.
It’s still on Facebook there is a new version coming currently the old ones are all sold out at the moment
I have the older version for sale if interested

Did you make a decision on which brand? I'm in the same situation
Where can you buy that box unit to run the Analog cars.
Can a Carrera Digital from 2007 work with digital cars of today?
Is this still working well? I seem to have run into a problem hooking it with the six controller extender.
Yes still working great although I only have 4 controllers so I don’t know about 6
I bought two a couple months ago, seems I have an older model.
This one is new for 2021 you can upgrade your current model of the Tek-Slot
@E F currently you will need to reach out on the tek-slots Facebook if you want one now they will be back at Carreraslots.com in the future
Do you have to Uninstall your lane changers?
No you do not. If you have any curved lain changers they will need to be modified
@@MerryBoozerRC Hi, Can you tell me where I can find information on how to modify the curved lane changers, I am really interested how and why it needs to be done.
Jim
@@jimbo6705 yes check out the Tek-Slots Facebook page he has all the information on there 😉
@@MerryBoozerRC what does the mod involve? Is it more than just Installing a switch to disconnect the electronics in the LC? Thanks
Zoom zoom crash kayos zoom zoom, Jeff in LA USA
LA ...Lower Attalla???
Do they make a 4 lane tek box
They did currently he isn’t making any until December as they can’t get the chips for them. Check out the tel slot Facebook page (Joe the owner of tel slot) answers questions on there 😉
What is the cost of the trek slot box? I would be interested in purchasing one because I want to purchase a digital track and have a few analog cars.
I believe it’s around $350 I haven’t checked in a year or so
Will any changes be necessary in the pit lane ?
No not any
Did you need to modify your lane changers at all?
No but I do not have any curved lane changes the only changers that need to be modified are the curved
Too bad not at the same time ☹️
Can you send me the link for the part
