Hi Red Rebel. The ARC wireless controllers should connect easily to the ARC Air and ARC Pro powerbases when you follow the instructions in the respective Quick Start Guides.

 

Essentially, the procedure is: Turn controller off > Press & hold button on base (LED flashes) > pull and hold trigger > turn controller on > release trigger. Solid LED should show controller is connected to that colour.

 

If you have ARC Air, you can only connect to Red or Green. The procedure is on pages 8 and 9 of the ARC Air Quick Start Guide. If you don't have the original booklet, you can download the Guide here: www.scalextric.com/uk-en/shop/sets/app-race-control-arc/arc-air

 

If you have ARC Pro, you can connect to any of the six colours. The procedure is on pages 8 and 9 of the ARC Pro Quick Start Guide. If you don't have the original booklet, you can download the Guide here: www.scalextric.com/uk-en/shop/sets/app-race-control-arc/arc-pro

 

The ARC Pro set controllers and the individual ARC controllers sold as C8438 will work with either ARC Air or ARC Pro. The ARC Air set controllers will connect to an ARC Pro powerbase, but don't have a lane change button. They will bind with the powerbase and will run a car, but can't change lanes unless they are modified. See here: www.scalextric.com/us-en/forum/arc-air-to-arc-pro-controller-upgrade/

 

I hope that helps. If you're still having problems, give us more specific info about what you're doing and what is/isn't happening. Also whether you can bind other ARC controllers to different colours.
