Basic Upgrade

The Worthing Digital club use an unmodified APB and two P9300 Scalextric supplies for their club racing. Two or three power taps (plus a pit lane power tap) are used in their 100/150 foot temporary tracks. Good track connection maintenance helps provide reliable power, as does the use of INOX MX3on the cars’ braids. Jan 18, 2018 Page 1 of 4 - Inox MX3 Feasibility of a THIRD order - posted in Scalextric Digital (APB, ARC PRO): Hi all, after selling the last two orders of inox very quickly and having people message me enquiring if I have any left (I dont) heres another chance to express an interest to see if its worth a third and most probably final order. Cost per bottle inclusive of duty / import tax etc is £8 P & P.

For the average home user a quick and easy way to make a useful improvement is to add an extra power supply so each car is getting the full output of one transformer. Each lane then has its own circuit, the cars are not fighting each other for the available power and what one car does can’t affect the power to the other. Even if there still isn’t quite enough power for each car this makes them easier and more consistent to drive.

Not all bases will accept a dual power supply. Ninco made a twin port version and the new Policar system has it as standard. Scalextric used to make a suitable power base part # C8217 which although discontinued can still be found and often pops up on eBay.

If you can’t find a suitable twin port power base then just add another single port one to take the second transformer.

Important - When using two power bases they need to be connected the same way around with the boxes that the throttle controllers plug into on the SAME side of the track. Take care to ensure you never connect the powerbases in opposite directions or you could end up short circuiting both power supplies.

Also make sure you are powering each lane from only one source. To do this you need to plug the throttle controllers into lane 1 for one power base and lane 2 for the other.

Fitting power taps (booster cables) to the far side of larger circuits will also help distribute the available power more evenly.
