We were back at the Barn the Wednesday after Easter for our second GT Championship race of 2026. Simon had carried out some major tweaks to a previous design to give us Artemis Park...

   

Certainly a challenge at first, this turned out to be a fabulous racing track, fast and pretty long at just over 100-feet.

Twenty-three would race on the six teams. We welcomed back Alex and Ryan from University, but were missing a few regulars through holidays and illness...

   

ASTCOM-One had an enforced car change after their woes last month, Simon's Chupa Chups Mercedes coming in for Alex's Audi. At AIM-9, Mike had prepared a Ferrari F430 GT, picked up from the Weevil's swap meet for a tenner. Apparently not the easiest car to work on, it looked quick and sounded a bit noisy in practice.

At seven we had a driver briefing - and a timely reminder about driving standards. Then is was the two-minute Super-Pole qualifying - the drivers taking part would be starting the race...

   

It was a seriously quick session - four cars dipping under 10-seconds. Yet in the battle of the qualifying kings, Ollie just outpaced Ryan...

   

The 500 lap race promised to be an exciting one...

   

Imagine you haven’t used Scalextric for a lot of years, you have missed all of the discussions during those years (and are now joining them at the end or in the middle) and you are no expert with how circuit boards work – that’s me. I have both the C7042 Powerbase and ARC Pro and a soldering iron and some enthusiasm.

My questions revolve around some saloon cars with lights in my collection that have the C7006 on board. Reading through many threads, it seems that the C7006 can be used to manage the lights and that the “always on” option is available. However, it also seems that some sort of flash might be needed to the chip, but further Googling suggests that the chip cannot have its firmware upgraded. Further further Googling suggests that it can be done via InCarPro. This is confusing to me.

So here’s the questions
1.     Is it possible to wire lights to the C7006? If so, do I need to flash it? If so, do I need some hardware and software? If so, where do I get those items please?
2.     Would someone share clear pictures of precisely how the chip should be wired to make the lights work in the simple way that they work with the EasyFit C8515 Rev H (I recognise that these are entirely different chips and each of a different “era”).

I know I’m probably asking a lot but, as my dad used to say, if you don’t ask you don’t get ?

Here are some photos of the SCX Ford Escort RS Cosworth with which the Spanish duo José María Ponce and Gaspar León won the Rally Internacional de Maspalomas on the Canary Islands in 1993. The striking colour combination of yellow and green makes the Escort an attractive sight.
Inside a FR42 motor only drives the rear wheels. 
It is always good to hot glue the motor to the floorpan.

Hi
Thanks for adding me.

I’ve just come back to Scalextric so there’s lots to catch up on. 

I’m a few years behind and am wondering if 
incarpro v4.01 is still valid as an upgrade for C7042 and ARC Pro. If so, could someone point me to where I can get a copy please?

I often see on other forums, social media and Youtube channels that people love to see car builds.

This is one I started in 2020 when we had a push on Grand Prix and Prewing F1 car builds at the club.

It's not finished but will progress.

Take one cheap as chips Scalextric Lotus 25, glue it together and start grinding, building, testing, modifying, re-building, testing, modifying....etc etc

   

   

I raced it like this a few years ago, slimline motor, two part adjustable chassis (which had a tendency to 'adjust' if it hit the wall).

   

It's now got a one-piece chassis and a Flat 6 25k in it (that'll have to go) and a brass plate underneath.

I don't think I've raced it like this yet!, well here's an excuse to get the car finished and on the tracks.

 Welcome to the car Presentation page.

Hi everyone, 

My name is Cris and I’m from Spain.

I got into slot cars through Scalextric Spain more than 25 years ago, when I was given my first set as a kid. That was my entry point into this hobby, and since then I’ve always had a soft spot for slot racing, track building, and everything around creating layouts and racing with friends.

Over time, that interest ended up inspiring something much bigger. I’m now one of the developers behind Speed Rivals, a slot racing video game built around two main ideas: creativity and competition.

What we wanted to do was capture part of that feeling of real slot racing, but take it further in digital form. So in Speed Rivals, players can not only race, but also build their own tracks, customise layouts, decorate them, and create something with personality before driving on it.

So far, we’ve built:

• a full track builder
  
• the ability to create and edit custom circuits
  
• decoration tools to give tracks their own style
  
• multiple cars and different racing setups
  
• local PvP multiplayer, including support for Steam Remote Play Together
  
• Steam Workshop support so players can share their creations
  

For us, the game is not just about driving laps. It’s also about the joy of designing a circuit, testing ideas, improving them, and then competing on something you created yourself. In that sense, I think it connects very naturally with the spirit of slot racing.

I’ve just joined the forum and wanted to say hello properly. It’s great to find more communities like this one, full of people who really appreciate slot cars and track design.

If anyone is curious, I’d be happy to share more about the game and what we’re building. https://speedrivals.es/

Nice to meet you all.

This might be mid life crisis part two (or three). I just bought this car yesterday. It's an old and well used 2017. You need to draw the line somewhere. Right?

   
   

SCX has launched the Fiat 131 Abarth of Spaniards Salvador Servià and his navigator Álex Brustenga, who took part in the 1979 Rallye Monte Carlo.
In 1978 they achieved twelfth overall with this car.
Unfortunately a year later, they had to retire in special stage 20, laying 23rd overall.
Despite the black and white colour scheme, the Fiat looks very nice in my opinion.

You can find more versions of the SCX Fiat 131 in this topic:

We were back on Wednesday for our second WHO Mod & WHO Tuners night of 2026, racing on an AFX version of Meadowdale International Raceway...

   

Over to Gareth for his race report...
