The Pit-Pro mod of the Pit Lane Game adds a second sensor so that the software (SSDC) can slow the car in the pit lane. I think Riko or RichG were the ones doing the mods.

If you use the C7042 Advanced Powerbase + SSDC v5 you get Pit lane sensing, speed limiting, auto braking on pit entry. Also requires Pit-Pro (modified pit lane game). See http://ssdc.jackaments.com/products.shtml .

Maybe try vacuuming the track, then test it again. If continued power dips, treat with INOX , then test again. If that does not work, check each track piece with Volt-Ohm meter working around the track from the power source for bad connections. Would be interested in your results. Cheers!

Only one slot car manufacturer has ever made the Citroen DS Rally car (SCX) and it is out of production. This is one unique style of vehicle I would like to see made for Scalextric. In fact, this could be added to a rally line of vehicles. The success of the Deloreans and similar "unique" vehicles like this (e.g. the Mercedes and Auto Union Stromlinie AVUS vehicles (Carrera) which are also out of production), would be be appreciated.

Instead of single lane changers (how does that work anyway?) what about the old straight crossover track so one does not need to use an XLC cross-over lane changer to go into/out of a pit bay? Should be simple to do since the design is already there... just need the newer depth and the Sport track connectors. No other electrics involved!

If Scalextric would take the former curve lane changers and cut them in half (like the mods on the other forums) so one could combine either left or right turns to make chicane lane changes. Also, make the curves truly reversable (identical flippers on each end, with easy to relocate flipper mechanism.... the previous ones are easy to move but the flippers are different sizes), then only two 2-piece changers are required (since reversing the change mechanisms would yield both in-to-out and out-to-in combinations), Left and Right. Oh ya, fix the wiring so it works with ARC as well as digital and analogue.

It seems that Hornby does not want to advertise this upgraded component as the only way to describe it is as noted by Dr_C. If they put a Rev reference on the bottom then we could at least ask an on line seller what Rev it is. With only one Scalextric retailer in my community, almost all purchasing is online, even though one of the Canadian distributors is very close by. Pricing online from the UK can be competitive with local pricing, too!

3 pieces I would want to see are: a) return of the C7009/C7010 in to out curved lane changers as 2-piece (cut in half) so a racing line track can be made by swapping the ends (the other CLCs C7007/C7008 are not useful for this purpose so not needed.... one can reverse the flippers on the C7009/C7010 to make them if required) ... the patterns are there, just a slight mod to the wiring to work with ARC Pro. b) a new Sport track version of the PT82 Classic straight lane crossover .... needed for creating dual lane pit lanes since the C7036 is "clumsy" (must press lane change to enter/exit) when stopping to pit and drive off from 2 or more pit bays. It is enough to select the first or second bay once in the pits but to have to select again when this could be more easily done using a straight crossover like the PT82 but in Sport design with the deeper slot..... again, the patterns are there so no "new" development work. Any other pieces you would like to see?

It sounds like (as I do not have ARC Pro) that this new app based PB is not as sophisticated as the APB but more of a "ready to use" one. Features (including legacy incompatibilities) are more like the original C7030 6-car PB and its limitations. Scalextric now only makes 2 "digital" lane changing pieces - XLC and Pit Lane. Too bad the CLC issue was not resolved and their manufacture continued as they have been modified to make RLC (racing line change) as well as curved pit lane entry/exit. Perhaps the "classic" chicane pieces (with separate lanes) and other classic track pieces should be revived as they would work with the ARC Pro PB. Just a suggestion.

Just read through this forum again and now understand the "1mm-10mm-1mm" concept. Pictures will still help I am sure. Options A, B, and C are still a bit confusing, but to say separate power to middle lane from lanes 1 and 2 (so they are not connected) seems easier to understand. Really looking forward to how the ARC Pro can be separated from the track so that it can be swapped with the APB (C7042) by just plugging in the PB of choice.... a different topic for a different thread I am sure. Thanks to all for sharing!

Would you post a top side picture to explain what you mean? I think that would help us understand. Thanks for sharing!
