Thanks gorp, that’s reassuring. I was starting to wonder if my commercially shop bought cars could have been the problem. I’m of the mind that surely the Arc Pro would have been tested before it hit the market to the extent of loading it with as many cars as possible. I’ve only run two cars on it at any one time, and one is the pace car. Could one of the older cars be the fault maker? Anyway, they are sending me a new set so let’s see how that goes.

I think that’s away above my still level, but thanks for mentioning it. I know an electrician I may ask him if he nows anything about such things.

Hi....thanks for the advice everyone. I’m mostly using Scalextric cars, digital and analogue. But, I have run a couple of catrix without issues. The oldest Scalextric cars date back to the classic series of 2007, but again they ran fine. Question, if one of the older cars are pulling too many amps, eventually the power base would reconfigure? I’ve spoken to technical support ( who have been great) and ran them through the problems, for instance isolating the base, cleaning etc and they have agreed to replace my set. I hasten to add I don’t run competition cars, but I’m intrigued to find out if and how older cars could pull too many amps, and how I can find out to avoid any future problems. Anyway, thanks for the advice to date, any more is gratefully appreciated and despite the frustration of being without the set for a few days I can’t fault the company’s technical support and picking up and replacing the set.

My power base keeps shorting out. At one point got a faint smell of burning, I put it sown to one of the cars. Despite unplugging, plugging, cleaning, hoovering and the checking the track, I keep getting the error message on the app. At one point the Analogue setting displayed the red light, when switching to digital it turned green!! Nevertheless, no power to the track. Is shorting a common problem? This is the second day I’ve encountered issues, but did manage to race for about an hour before it decided not to play. Incidentally, I called the help line about yesterday’s problems and they were very helpful. I’ll call them tomorrow for more assistanc. Overall, when I get it working I’m loving it - but I’m getting frustrated with myself over my inability to keep it going!

Well, I set the consol to air, and collaborated cars and still couldn’t get them to work. Eventually, one car did work, How i dont know, shifted the crossovers tracks to run straight and off it went. Apart from that one instance not one out of 4 analogun cars worked. As an aside: 1. I followed the track plans with the full extension set minus the silly jump, and after an hour or so, disregarded the instructions as the bend after the arc base wouldn’t flattenand did my own thing! 2. One of the cars has already got a broken rear spoiler, even though I’ve been mega gentle. 3. Initially pace car mode was excellent, regulating speed and keeping the car on track. Now I can’t keep any of the 4 car supplied to stay on in one piece. Back to it tomorrow to iron out the issues........ ho hum

Got my set today..... early days but I think I’m liking it, apart from having difiiculty running analogue cars on it with the device selected to air. As I said early days, but its given me a headache so I’ve given it a chequred flag for the night!

Thanks Andy, much appreciated!

I think it’s been answered elsewhere, so forgive me, but can someone confirm that you can use analogue cars with the ARC Pro? If so, what are the limitations?

Thanks, your advice is appreciate. Btw does the same apply for the old Le Mans start and chicanes?

What ever happened to the hump back bridge. Used to have one many many years ago in a set that had two MininCoopers with it. If I could get hold of an old one would it be compatible current sport track?
