Hi - I am completely new to this and while I have tried for several hours now to read through previous forum posts, I may be asking "old" questions. However, I am in desperate need of advice. I have purchased an Arc Pro (C8435) Power Base, assuming that this would be the top of the line for digital racing. Was I wrong? It says on the box: "Transform any Scalextric set into an ARC PRO compatible set." In my efforts to create a fun, custom race track resembling Sebring, I fell in love with the curved lane changing track (which I understand from other posts are now quite infamous) as well as the straight lane changing track x. A pit lane is also included. Is it correct, that these features will not work with the Arc Pro Power station in digital mode, unless the lane changing pieces are modified (something which I do not venture to undertake as a newbie)? My next step is to return the Arc Pro and purchase a C7042 Scalextric Digital Power Base instead. Am I correct in assuming that the digital track mentioned above (both the curve lane changers, the straight lane changers and the pit area) will all work well with the C7042? Your comments and advice will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
