Assemble the Track: Carefully connect all track pieces (C7016, C7018, C8200, C7036, C8204, C8205, C8206, C8206D, C8207, C8210, C8223, C8224, C8228, C8233, C8234, C8235, C8236, C8295) ensuring secure and flush connections. Refer to the included layout diagram for the extensive 4.34m x 1.93m design.
Connect Powerbase: Place the ARC PRO powerbase (C7014) in its designated track section and connect the power supply (C8435) to a suitable power outlet.
Program Cars: Each of the 6 digital cars needs to be 'programmed' or assigned to a controller ID. Follow the ARC PRO instructions for this process, typically involving placing the car on the track and pressing a button on the throttle (C8438).
Connect Wireless Throttles: Ensure your wireless throttles (C8438) are paired with the ARC PRO powerbase. Insert required batteries. (Info needed: battery type and quantity).
Initial Test Run: Perform a slow test run with each car to ensure all track sections and lane changers are working correctly and cars run smoothly.
This bundle is fully compatible with the Scalextric Digital system, specifically the ARC PRO ecosystem. You can expand your track layout with additional Scalextric Sport track pieces and integrate other digital Scalextric cars or accessories that are ARC PRO compatible.
Track Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the track rails with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove dust and debris, which can impair electrical conductivity. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Car Maintenance:
Braids: Ensure the braids on the front of each car are clean, untangled, and make good contact with the track rails. Replace worn braids promptly (e.g., Scalextric C8223).
Tires: Keep tires free of dust and occasionally clean them with a lint roller or damp cloth for optimal grip.
Motor/Gears: Periodically check for any hair or debris wrapped around axles or gears that could hinder performance.
Storage: When not in use, store the track and cars in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or damage. Disassemble the track if long-term storage is needed.
