c1370

[stubo]

Hi all, pretty new to scalextric havent had a set since the early ninties and looking to get my son into it. I dug all my old stuff out cleaned it up and got it running pretty well, since i have bought a few upgrades and added them to my set, however today i bought a set C1370 total speed which is being delivered tommorow on a really good deal however this set doesnt seem to exist anywhere else other than where i purchased it has anyone got any more information about it

 

Thanks

A quick google showes that this seems to be an ASDA special.

It has an interesting set of track and is a standard SPORT set more or less.

What is it exactly that you want to know about it?

Hi Andy

 

i too am purchasing the C1370. Appreciate it's a standard sport set. I'm buying it as a gift and will want to rekindle my history with scalextric too

is this model a good start and extended tracks, cars etc well available to build on?

[Andy P.]

Sure you can add any sport track to this or even upgrade to ARC for app-based lap counting, timing and pit stops and more!

Cool thanks for the help.

 

i know the cars come Digitale "enabled" and I will need a chip in the cars. But what do I need to do/get for the track to get that digital?

Is this the ARC you describe? If so, any ideas what things my mate (or me if I convince the wife to allow me to get into it) will need for that?

Thank again for your help so far....

ARC is analog. No modifications required to the cars:

Digital requires extra chips in the cars, powerbas and controllers:
