Good stuff. One small correction is that the "hold the trigger and turn on the controller" is only for pairing the controller to a color/ID. Pressing the button two times pairs the car to that color/ID and does not require anything from the controller. The controller can be on or off while you do that, and there's no need to do anything with the trigger or controller power. If you need to re-assign a controller to another color/ID, you hold down that button on the base until all the lights flash, then let it go. Next, with the controller off, hold the trigger and turn it on. This tells the controller to pair with the base to that color/ID. Those actions are entirely independant of one another, and cannot be done at the same time, even if you wanted to. Again, press-press to program car(s) on the track to that color. Press+hold, then hold trigger and turn on controller to program that controller to that color.
Thanks for this chap, admittedly, I did have to contact Scalextric to talk me through it as I wasn't doing it in the right manner initially so, they helped me through it. I'll make sure I bring this info to the surface in the near future, there's the third part in Friday so, after that I'll do a caveat. Hope all's well over there, speak soon 👍🏻
Been using arc air with and without wireless.. never had an issues with the software. We.run using a IPad for control. Works flawlessly.. thanks for putting this up. Will take the scare factor out of it. Also I can add a custom track layout. Cheers
@trackfanstv arc one also ran.fune. just not running a digital track. But do run carerra digital cars as well once by flipping the polarity switch underneath. The arc pro is actually very functional..not a bad system.
I only have two hands 🤦😂😂, my nephew lives over in Essex a couple of hours away so, I needed to get the video out as it was promotional so, that will come in the future as you'll see in my next episode this week 🤫😉
Very good instructions how the ARC works, you just forget one thing, you didn’t not show how to control the power by for the cars it is 100% you can put it down 80 % or less but on 80% you you have a voltage of 12,58 instead of 15 volt. I have put my ARC into work with my Policar track by making some adaptors that’s working perfectly. For both Digital And Analog and with 2 Scalextric 4 amp power supply you have power enough even for cars as Scaleauto, NSR, Slot it etc. All the best from Danish Arne living in Beverley UK
Hey buddy, spot on, please stay ruined for part three where I mention the power displacements between analogue and digital mode when your car has a chip installed.... The idea of using a different power supply is good, I wasn't sure if it affects the control you have on the cars, thanks for the input, very interesting indeed Arne 👍🏻
I am too intellectually tired to even watch your video after a long day of programming. Will get back when my brain is functionning again. Yeah digital slot-car is way to complex for me at this moment.
Just to give another dimension to slot car racing, it's mega handy to be able to switch lane if you wanted to add something new to what you've been doing for a while. A lot of people that try it do revert back to analogue, thanks for watching bud 👌🏻
@@trackfanstv But surely sitting there pressing your 'phone, deciding when the tyres are going to be changed and the other cars are down to someone else's input? Well I guess it's realistic in the same way as 'box, box, box,' or 'plan b, go for the undercut' but fun?
Awesome buddy
Wish this video was available when I got my Arc Pro
Very informative 👍👍👍👍
Nice job Pete!

Great video Pete, looks a lot of fun
It is Lee, having a blast with it when the kitchen table's free 😂😂😂
Awesome video, the systems can be a bit tricky to work out so it really helps with these videos. I love that layout really good ❤
Got to get back into my slot cars
You can do it mate, get it out, set it up and remember fast, how much fun it is 😉😂😂😂
Great video Pete, very informative and instructive 👏👏👏
Awesome buddy thank you for what you do !

Nice one Dafingers, it's usability is (when you know what to do) great fun 🔥

This is pretty cool!! lots of great features!
It's a pretty good laugh bud, the game features makes it fun when racing alone 👌🏻. Hope all's well over there with you guys? Catch you soon 🔥🔥
well I ws thinking of going saclextric or Carrera digital and you have totally convinced me to stick to my analogue timber routed track
I love racing on wood, I can't fault you 💯😉
Do the movie and TV cars like Knightrider the Batmobile etc work on this set up ?
Yes buddy, you can race them as they come using the analogue setting in the ARC Pro or, install digital chips and race them digitally too 👍🏻
What happened to the 4 car race?
I only have two hands 🤦😂😂, my nephew lives over in Essex a couple of hours away so, I needed to get the video out as it was promotional so, that will come in the future as you'll see in my next episode this week 🤫😉
couldn't SB cast from the phone to a TV?
Looks a decent set, Pete!
It's good fun mate, I do like a scaley set 👌🏻
G’day pete Yes and easy digital to analogue cheers
You should set up a ghost car.
You can do that, it's the pace car setting 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥

Rob forgot to hit the like button, it’s the sin-bin for you Rob😂 cool video Pete, they sell that set in Germany, but over 700€ 😮
It's not cheap but, they often do a deal on it, the link I put in gets 15% off but, even with that it's still a lot of money 💸
Omg it’s a bit of a hassle to setup compared to the Carrera digital.. controllers look better than the Carrera plungers though.. great video champ

Brilliant mate, I hope you had a good rest buddy 🤣🤣🤣
Lot of fannying about, for what? Scalextric wasn't funked, why have they tried to fix it?
