Slot car racing

REMEMBER YOUR FIRST slot car set? Endless hours of fun watching two cars circle the track until one falls off and the other one gets sent into orbit from the sudden surge of power. It may lack the rose-tinted aura of your childhood memories, but the new digital slot-racing system is a huge improvement.
The greatest change is that you can get eight cars on the track, and overtaking is possible thanks to the new cross-over sections. Because all of the power comes from one central console, you don't get surges when somebody crashes, which isgood because crashing is a certainty. Even on beginner setting the cars are fast and tricky, so it's easy to get over-enthusiastic. The higher settings are ideal as you get better, giving less 'grip' the more advanced the setting - which means that you can actually drift around corners.
The digital sets also have a number of extra functions that you can buy in separate sets, such as a pitlane that allocates each car with a fuel load, allowing timed refuelling stops in endurance races.
If you already own slot cars, it's not a problem as you can convert any make of analogue car or track to digital, and run any slot car on a Ninco track. They may be expensive, but Ninco's slot racing sets are robust and easy to use as well as brilliant fun.

POWER

Power
When one car comes out of the slot the other receives a power boost and could result in the other car crashing as well..
Independent power per lane is recommended, it allows each car to be controlled without any external influence. Scalextric use ac transformers and the power base converts the power to dc. Our experience shows that scalextric power and controllers are not as reliable as other makes.
Ninco & SCX make independent power base tracks. You wil need an extra transformer. SCX make professional controllers with a choice of resistors and braking. Ninco make an electronic controller besides their standard one.
We can supply professional controllers and other variable output power supplies for the expert and or club use.

WHAT SCALEXTRIC CARS TO CHOOSE?

Scalextric and Scx come with lights. Ninco do not. Ninco have a wide choice of motors, gears and wheels. Most Ninco cars can be raced 'out of the box'. Carrera cars require a special guide for use with Ninco or scx of Hornby. Your carrera dealer should know what to supply.
Fly make great looking models and also have a racing range.
Slotit ( IT is for Italy) make cars and components such as gears, chassis, wheels, axles , tyres etc. You can make up a rolling chassis from Hobbyslot or Slot it and put into a body to race.
Most cars cost from £25 to £45.

Ninco

Existing Ninco race sets & circuits can be digitalized with NINCO’s N-Digital Conversion Kit; set multiple race programs in all categories (rally, raid, GT, etc.) and on the 3 track surfaces (asphalt, snow and off-road).

Track Compatibility is 100% with existing NINCO asphalt, snow and off-road tracks and by using the NINCO Adapter Tracks, other brands of non-digital slot car track systems can be used with N-Digital.

Car Compatibility is no problem at all! Any analog (non-digitized) car of any brand can be fitted with a NINCO N-Digital Decoder Chip. Digitalization is virtually plug & play, without drilling holes, changing the chassis, or causing irreversible damage to the car. Up to Eight (8) cars can race on a track simultaneously it’s the largest starting grid available.

Lane changes are accomplished with absolute precision on Lane Change Tracks as each car passes, and can be set far in advance of the actual change. Changes occur in a straight line from right to left, in a straight line from left to right, and passing from lane 2 to 3 and 3 to 2 with the Multi-Lane Kit. There is no way to accidentally change lanes, even when the cars are very close. Naturally, with the Pit Lane Kit the drivers have access to the pit lane as well.

Multifunction Digital Control Unit is the heart of the system, allowing race control for up to eight (8) lanes of racing. The consoles data display screen manages seven (7) different types of races for individual and multi-players. It provides racing information and sound signals for all drivers: time, lap and fastest lap, fuel consumption simulation, management for cars with and without lights, fastest reaction speed from driver to car. The 3 Amp N-Digital Transformer provides the power for up to four cars.

Race Position Control Tower shows the race positions of up to eight (8) cars, laps remaining and can be positioned anywhere on the circuit. Also, it swivels 360° for ease of viewing.

The main features are designed to enhance racing to the most professional level available, making NINCO N-Digital the benchmark performer in the slot racing world.

slotit parts and gears

Slot It gears provide higher performance and quality that original equipment gears that come on most 1:32 scale slot cars. Slot It has gears to fit virtually any 1:32 scale slot car with 3/32" axles and .078" motor shaft. Some cars with limited body or chassis clearance arouund the gers ma not be able to use all sizes of Slot It gears or may need some carving on the chassis to provide the necessary clearance. Slot It gears are not always compatible with original equipment gears, so for best results the pinion and the driven gear should be replaced with Slot It gears together.

Slot It offset crown gears allow the motor shaft to be below the axle center, and thereby allow the entire motor to sit lower in the chassis for a lower center of gravity. They can only be used with a motor mount installation that places the motor shaft and rear axle in the correct relationship. Slot It's offset inline motor mounts, SICH22 and 24, give the correct alignment. They can be used with the HRS chassis and can be fitted into Slot It RTR cars. They can also be used in scratchbuilt chassis.
