Digital track for use with Scalextric ARC Pro. Which are compatible?

Digital track for use with Scalextric ARC Pro:

Digital track such as:

Scalextric C7036 digital lane changing straight can be used with the ARC Pro.

Scalextric C7007 C7008 C7009 C7010 digital curved lane changers will not work with Scalextric ARC Pro v0.3 but will work with v0.4. For further info click here

Scalextric C7014 C7041 digital track pit lanes will work with ARC Pro if used in the standard configuration.

Nesting i.e. two pit lane entry pieces followed by two exit pieces will not be a problem because all the pit lanes are powered from the first entry lane.

Using a pit lane piece in reverse to turn two lanes into a single lane chicane will not work.

Analogue Crossover tracks (Not the crossroads) must be in pairs.

Power booster cables must be used strictly in the same way as you would for Analogue circuits.

The above issues occur because the ARC Pro powerbase needs to have a layout where there are always two lanes that are powered independently. Each of those lanes can be split to power more lanes but can never be combined back in a way that electrically combines the powerbase lanes 1 and 2.

Please let us know if you find any additions to this list so we can help the Scalextric community.

General info

Scalextric ARC Pro works with standard Scalextric Sport track, which is the current track system used in both analogue and digital sets. In fact, most standard straight and curved Sport pieces are fully compatible, as digital racing uses the same base track with a different power system.

To run ARC Pro, you simply add a digital powerbase, lane-changing track sections, and digital-compatible cars or chips. Essential compatible digital pieces include lane change straights (such as C7036) and pit lane sections, which enable overtaking and race strategy features.

Older track types like Scalextric Classic can also be used, but only with converter pieces, and performance may be less reliable compared to Sport track. Overall, Scalextric Sport track is the best and most widely compatible choice for ARC Pro systems.
