Most cars produced from 2007 onwards will have, as standard, a socket on the car where the Easy Fit Digital Plug is connected to convert the car for use on a SCALEXTRIC DIGITAL layout. The C8516 Easy Fit Digital Plug is suitable for fitting to Formula One, Open Wheel, and Single Seater DPR, Digital Plug Ready Scalextric cars. The conversion only requires a small screwdriver and takes less than sixty seconds to convert a DPR car.

The conversion process involves the following steps: 1) Unscrew the panel on the base of the car and disconnect the braid-to-motor wiring plug. 2) Connect the Easy Fit Digital Plug to the braid-to-motor wiring plug. 3) Replace 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 C8516 Easy Fit Digital Plug can be transferred easily from one car to another.

To convert standard DPR Scalextric cars to Digital, use the C8515 Easy Fit Digital Plug. Many non-DPR Scalextric cars can be converted to Digital using Digital Chips C7005 and C7006. Scalextric Digital brings slot car racing to a whole new level, with features such as four-car and six-car powerbases, pit lane, and lane-changing track pieces.

Upgrading your existing analog slot car set requires a Scalextric Digital Powerbase C8435 with Digital Hand Controllers C8438, digital lane change pieces, and upgrading your cars with the Digital Plug Ready (DPR) Chip, C8515 for a standard car, C8516 for open wheel/single seaters, and C7005 for slot cars that are not DPR. This conversion requires hobbyist skills and some tools, including a soldering iron.

Scalextric ARC PRO is a revolutionary slot car race set system that allows up to six racers, lane changing, and wireless control through a handheld smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet, using the free ARC app. The ARC PRO set comes with wireless controllers that contain a rumble pack, braking button, and power level control. It also offers various race modes, including an Arcade race mode with power-ups, and the ability to race against a ghost car.

Scalextric brings the thrill and excitement of motor racing to life in your living room, with miniature cars racing against each other on a special track, powered by a slot in the middle of each lane. Extend your slot car circuit with Scalextric Track Extension Packs, which are fully flexible in design and can be added to Standard or Digital Scalextric circuits.
