C7042 Part 3 - "Pace Cars"

Part Three of an instructional video series describing the functions of Scalextric's new Advanced Digital 6 Car Powerbace (C7042). Additional videos will be forthcoming including yellow flag modes and more.

Part Three describes how to set up and use the powerbase's pace car feature, which allows a user to set up cars to race against. This is a great way to practice racing digitally, having to drive with other cars on the track and in your lane, using lane changing to avoid and pass other cars. It's also a fun way to add a challenge to your races with other people.

This is very helpful. I can't understand the PB manual and it's been driving me mad (pardon the pun). I'm going to use your info videos from now on.

This one will come in handy - now I can set up 6 pace cars to run my Suzuka circuit while I make a video...

@Staratino Your track already looks great! It will be quite impressive with landscaping and 6 cars zooming around!

Will cars go into pitlane if the track has one?

[ScalextricDigital]

@SlotraceDK Yes. That's what the PrPit and PoPit options are there to prevent. Watch Part 4 for more detail on those options.

where do u get these sets or do you have to buy the power base alone

[ScalextricDigital]

@trackspike64 Right now, the new base is only sold separately. According to the Scalextric 2011 catalog, there will be a new "Digital Platinum" set that comes with the new base, a large track, and 6 cars as well as the controllers and power supplies needed. At 500 quid, probably about 700 US, it's a pretty good deal for all that comes in the set. More bases should be on the shelves soon (sold out most places right now), and the new set will probably come out in the spring.
