can micro scalextric track be converted to arc air

[Joshua-368753]

I have a micro scalextric pro driver set that I want to convert to digital, is it possible to use the arc air powerbase and still use the micro scalextric cars

Hi Joshua,

A couple of things:

ARC AIR is not digital. It is an app enhanced analog racing power base that adds features thanks to the technology in the power base.

ARC PRO is a digital power base. Digital racing means you have switches or points where the cars can change lanes. You can also race up to 6 cars at a time.

Micro is roughly 1/64 scale and Scalextric Sport (the size of track for ARC AIR and PRO) is 1:32 scale. The lower the number the larger an item is.

Sport is twice the size of Micro. While it is theoretically possible convert the track it would require either moving all of the electronics in the ARC AIR powerbase to a Micro setup or making specialized converter track.

Micro car motors are wired the other way around and use different voltages so it would not be straight forward.

I have used Micro scale cars on Sport (1:32 scale) track and it does work but I have never done it with ARC..
