Scalextric C8515 - Digital Easy Fit Plug

From 2007 onward, most cars will come equipped with a standard socket on the base of the vehicle, where the Easy Fit Digital Plug can be connected to convert the car for use on a SCALEXTRIC DIGITAL layout. The C8515 Easy Fit Digital Plug is compatible with standard DPR Scalextric cars, and the conversion process requires only a small screwdriver, taking less than sixty seconds to complete.

The conversion involves three simple steps: 1) Unscrewing the panel on the car's base and disconnecting the braid-to-motor wiring plug, 2) Connecting the Easy Fit Digital Plug to the braid-to-motor wiring plug, and 3) Replacing the retaining screw to secure the Easy Fit Digital Plug to the chassis.

The Easy Fit Digital Plug offers a "plug and play" solution, allowing DPR Scalextric cars to be digitized in under sixty seconds. Each C8515 plug can be easily transferred from one car to another. For F1, Open Wheel, and Single Seater DPR Scalextric cars, the C8516 Easy Fit Digital Plug Chip for F1 DPR Cars should be used. Additionally, many non-DPR Scalextric cars can be converted to Digital using the Digital Chip C7005.

Scalextric Digital brings slot car racing to a whole new level. To upgrade an existing analog track, you'll need a Scalextric Digital Powerbase C8435 with Digital Hand Controllers C8438, digital lane change pieces, and the appropriate Digital Plug Ready (DPR) Chip (C8515 for standard cars, C8516 for open-wheel/single-seaters, and C7005 for non-DPR cars). The conversion requires some hobbyist skills and tools, including a soldering iron.

Buying a Scalextric Digital Set would be the quickest way to upgrade an analog set, but the individual components can also be purchased separately. Scalextric Digital is compatible with older options and can be upgraded to the newest Scalextric Digital Powerbase and App Race Control (ARC) Pro.

Scalextric ARC Pro is a revolutionary slot car race set system that allows up to six racers, lane changing, and wireless race creation and management using a handheld smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet. The free ARC app connects the device to the new ARC powerbase, unlocking unique features and race control.

The ARC Pro wireless controllers include a rumble pack, a braking button for more control, and power level control. Users can modify the acceleration characteristics of their cars, with the ability to limit maximum power to suit their racing style. The new Arcade race mode allows players to pick up power-ups to influence their opponents' races, and the system also supports a ghost car feature.

Scalextric brings the thrill and excitement of motor racing to life in your living room. It is the ultimate motor racing system for all ages, where miniature cars race against each other on special tracks, powered by a slot in the middle of each lane. Scalextric offers a wide range of vehicles and accessories to build your own realistic race circuits.
