Shaned30 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi all,im hoping someone can help me here I have a 1983 le mans scalecitric track and I'm wondering how to connect the controller to the track. I have the classic controller with the red tab that connects underneath the track but I do not know where it clips in. I'm not sure am I missing a piece for this. Can someone please send me instructions on how this is connected to the track Or where exactly it clips in? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian_norman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Good Morning, I'm afraid we do not have any Instruction Leaflets from 1983. However, the red rectangular plug with two copper contacts plugs into the underside of the track. One on each lane. The wires from these plugs go to the hand controllers and powerbase. These are hard-wired so nothing needs doing here. On the underside of a straight track piece, about 1 foot long (350mm), you should find a moulded stamp of C160. On each lane you'll find a receiving rectangle for the red plug. Push the red plug in to this moulded rectangle and the two copper pins will nestle against the metal track rails. With the power turned on, put a car on the track and pull the trigger. The car might move backwards, in which case you should turn the car round or turn the red plug 180 degrees as per your 'direction of travel' preference. One more thing, if you have lane change crossovers (not crossroads) always use these in pairs to make sure that a car on a lane can cross over to the other side of the track and then cross back again! I hope this helps. Happy Racing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detail56 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Thanks for that answer. I just pulled out my 1983 track and totally forgot how to connect the power controllers.I too thought maybe I was missing a piece of track as my instructions for the set are well gone.Cheers once again for the reply.

Rodney-349634 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 How do you connect the remote to the power control unit. I can see the plug for underneath the track. But that leaves two wire. Do they go on the same side of the unit or do they go either side. This is a 1960's set. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P. Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The '60s were a wild time. You could have any number of power packs and controllers.Please post some pictures.They will need to be approved so please be patient and don`t post multiple times please.Thanks!
