Andy P. Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Usually the problem is the track:https://uk.scalextric.com/support-and-advice/advice/track-maintenanceor the car:https://uk.scalextric.com/support-and-advice/advice/car-maintenancerareyl they could be overheating but that is usually down to poor maintenance...

Scuderia Scalextric Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I've had a problem with the new Holden Torana which has stopped working after I fitted a DPR chip (it ran for a few dozen laps then stopped), but all my other cars run ok. My intention is to just take it back to the shop where I got it to either have it fixed it or I suspect replace a faulty DPR chip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P. Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Sometimes the wires on the chip can slip or the pins can bend.Open the car up and put in the analog plug and see if it still works.If it runs fine in analog then there is a problem with the chip.

Scuderia Scalextric Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Further to my first reply, my local shop has had a look and it was the electrical contacts to the slot plate that had been dislodged when the braid plate was fitted - easy to correct, and I should have checked this first!
