Scalextric Digital track pieces

Slotcarcentre > Track and borders > 

Digital track pieces Below are the special Scalextric track pieces you can use on digital circuits - these are the ones that sort out your overtaking, pit lanes and so on. For the rest of the track, ordinary straights, curves, etc., hop over to the Sport Track section. Unlike some other brands, Scalextric Digital track pieces are completely compatible with the rest of the same brand of track - it is not a separate track system.

About pit lanes We are often asked - what can you do with a pit lane on Scalextric Digital? It serves two purposes. Firstly, you can use these pieces to expand your track to three or more racing lanes wide, at any point on the circuit. It doesn't have to be just used as a pit lane. But as an actual pit lane, it can either be "passive", that is to say, you just use it for somewhere to park cars that are not racing. Or, if you want an active pit lane to use for stops during races, then you can either use it with the Pit Lane Game C7041, or you can use it in conjunction with a 6-car powerbase or PB-Pro connected to SSD software (see our software page). These software packages will provide you with comprehensive pit stop and fuel management options to add to your SSD races. Scalextric pit stop software such as Sport World or old-style analogue RMS is not compatible with Digital.

Which lanechanger??!! We are often asked for our advice on choosing and siting lanechangers. Try and use both types - don't worry that the corner lanechanger only goes one way, you will find it makes no difference to the racing. Here are some ideas for a clockwise circuit. Straight lanechangers; one at the start and/or end of your main straight is good. Forces you to either make an early choice to pull out and out-drag your opponent to the corner ahead, or leave it to the last minute to cheekily duck out from behind him. You can also place odd ones anywhere on the circuit you have a 1.5 straight section. Don't place them directly after one an other though, human reactions are not fast enough to properly take advantage of them, you will just end up with pile-ups. Corner lanechangers; last corner of the lap, an out-to-in to give a chasing car a chance to get up the inside down to the first corner. First corner of the lap, another out-to-in to give a car a chance to cut in to the inside and block an opponent's overtaking move. Elsewhere, try and alternate lanechangers to give a chance to swap from each lane in turn - nothing more frustrating than being stuck behind someone for several corners waiting for the next lanechanger in your favour! Please note that each corner lanechanger can only function in its intended configuration; you can't (easily) turn a left hand one into a right hand one due to the way the flippers work and how the connecting plugs fit. These are just suggestions. As you can see from layouts and pictures elsewhere on our site, you can do even more creative things, if you expand to three lanes in places using the pitlane lanechangers!

Scalextric Straight crossover Lanechanger   Ref: C7036   C7036 This lanechanger allows you to swap from either lane, and is equivalent to 1.5 regular straights in length. more info… £36.95 (€44.64) "Add to basket" means the item is showing as in stock on our system.

Corner lanechangers and C7042 advanced powerbase IMPORTANT: If you want to use corner lanechangers C7007-C7010 in a layout that has a C7042 powerbase in it, AND you want to run cars in the "ANALOG platform", you need to isolate the crossing lane as shown in these pictures. Takes about two minutes. Also remove any SINGLE crossovers (crossovers in pairs are OK though) and any power tap cables that you have connected to opposing lanes. If you don't do these things the car won't run and the powerbase will beep at you. Once done, there will (magically) still be power to cars using the connecting lane when in digital mode. (Modification not needed for C7036 straight lanechangers, where connecting lanes are already isolated). Then manually open the flippers for straight-on travel on all lanechangers before racing. IMPORTANT NOTE: Corner lanechangers C7007 to C7010 have been discontinued by Hornby at the end of 2011 because of slow sales. No more can be obtained but you might find some on eBay.
