I am trying to set up my C8435 Scalextric Digital ARC Pro. After the powerbase I have a straight lane changer. Immediately a car passes through the lane changer, and changes lanes, it stops. I have swapped in another (and new) lane changer but same problem. It is acting as if the track were analogue.

Where have I gone wrong?

It could very well be that the power base is in analog mode.

There is a small, unlabelled switch on the side that switches the ARC PRO between digital (AKA PRO mode) and analog (AKA ARC AIR mode).

Here is a comparison of the two modes:

Other things that could be wrong: There is a loose wire and the other rail is getting no power.

Try plugging in only one power supply in each power connection.

Add a piece of analog track and see if there is power in both lanes.

Good luck!
