As of tonight I've done about 50 hours work on transferring all the running gear to the race car and I had just finished wiring the fuel pump and starter, so even though it's after the flight curfew (we live under the 3rd runway area with heavy sound insulation) of 11pm here, I just had to see if I had wired everything correctly.

The 250GTO is such a classic car!!!!!!😎👍
Oooh tell me more about this chip! I like to try them all
G'day Dave, I'll get my friend Steve to answer any of your technical questions. I just drive and enjoy them 😅
@@Roland_Rohrle does it have an analogue bypass switch built in or is it a permanent conversion like an FT-Slottechnik one? Does it do pace car and ghost car? How small is it? Can I test one ? .. and other questions
@@slotr The current versions (self install and DPR type) are a permanent solution, but I believe Steve’s planning one that will have a jumper plug to bypass to analogue. He has quite a few variations to pursue. I’d have to dig through our message history but it’s about the size of a Carson. I have one here installed in my Policar 412P, but since unpacking it from returning from Thailand (I ran it there on a mates D132 track) I’ve put it somewhere safe. As soon as I find, I’ll open it up and share a pic. Yes, we’re going to send you one to test. All the best Roland
@@Roland_Rohrle a jumper plug would be perfect!
That looks like it is a lot of fun to drive!
Thank you. Yes, I aim for realism and easy to drive. Not outright pace 👍😎🏁
I have a few slotcars dpr ready that I was holding off on. So I will be interested. New Subscriber here!🏁
Thank you. The first batch are due to arrive within the next week. We will test them and then advise 👍😎🏁
NICE layout! Looks like the chips work great! Will the scalextric dpr chip be available in the US? Race on!
Yes, the DPR fitment decoder to run Scalextric DPR cars on Carrera Digital132 will be tested next week and available worldwide soon after.
What a great use of space
Thank you, That was my aim 🥂😎🏁
Great fun!
Where did you get that scenery paper please - son has train set (thankyou) 😍
Thanks, Yes. My first Artin 4 lane set had the Porsche's and CLK GTR's and Porsche GT2's were available as separate cars 👍😎🏁 Yes, I remember designing a massive 2 lane track that used every piece of the 4 lane set. It was a fun drive.
Nice video, Roland! This was the first track I purchased - except with 2 Mercedes CLKs and 2 Porsche 911s. I never used it as a 4-lane, but it was a great basis for a nice-sized 2 lane track, especially with the varying curves. Great track for the money - that 4-lane was $100 at JC Penney on-sale after Christmas. 😀
Thanks SJ Yes. My first Artin 4 lane set had the Porsche's and CLK GTR's and Porsche GT2's were available as separate cars 👍😎🏁 Yes, I remember designing a massive 2 lane track that used every piece of the 4 lane set. It was a fun drive.
Very nice video, the choke system is interesting, especially the information about the feel/speed control distribution of the controllers.
Thanks Steve, Yes. I've been choking sets for many years now, since I discovered it on a limited Artin 1/43 set many years ago. Hoping to take some cars with me this weekend and run some more time trials, whilst I'm there.
I had just got the track up and running after being packed away for manu years. I cleaned and treated the rails, which bled onto the track surface, making it slippery...

Howdy from Austin, Texas, USA, Roland I hard your name mention by Steve Rosse on hidd so Thai Mueang/ Turle Beach blog and had to search you out. I’m 74 years and am considering retiring to Thaikand. I’m a old slot car fan since the early 1960s. I might bring bring my Artin 1/32 analog track and/or my DMXSlots RC track there when I do emigrate. It will cost me ~ $1500 to ship/mail it. Where are you located? I’m considering Hya Hin as a operations base.
G'day Ron, Thank you for reaching out. Steve Rosse is an inspiration... We still live and work in Sydney Australia, but we also have a place in rural Chiang Mai, in Northern Thailand. We generally go there every 6 months or so for a month, as we're nearing retirement ourselves. Hua Hin would be very nice, we plan to visit there too. I already have my standard Artin 4 lane set there, up and running in the basement there. I just paid an extra USD$150 and packed 2 suitcases of track, cars, extra controllers, parts etc and a bag of tool for our old car over there. 46 kilo's (202lbs) in 2 suitcases with Scoot Airlines 😅 I would suggest transporting your sets in excess luggage if at all possible. I had all my receipts etc ready to pay duty at Chiang Mai airport, but they just waved me through... I'm gradually editing a detailed video on the building of that circuit. There's some previews of it. Just look for San Pa Tong Raceway in my videos. All the best Roland Sydney Australia San Pa Tong/Chiang Mai Thailand
I may look at overweight luggage costs; since mailing a secure container 40”x18”x24” containing a max of 70# of slot car gear would cost at least $1000. I recently saw a Slot car track on a You Tube channel at an open air University market in Bangkok. How rare are slot car tracks in Thailand)? Are there any commercial wood tracks?
@ronkeeney1752 I'm not aware of any commercial tracks in Thailand. Apparently there's a private club south of Bangkok from memory, but that's all that I've heard of. The hobby isn't supported by retailers at all due to high import duties. Some people who travel go to the Carrera dealer in Singapore.
bumping is racing, that is after all how its done on the real tracks. A bigger track might make it more interesting?
Yes, a larger layout would certainly be more fun 👍😎🏁 Thanks for watching
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe sub...
Thank you. I have subscribed to your channel too 👍🏁😎
Try cleaning the urethane tires with Windex on a rag. I had used a lint roller for years, but the windex really does the trick. I have been doing that problem-free for 2 years. No problem on the urethans tires.
Thanks for the tip. I'll try it. Problem was the track was stored in a unsealed box in the balcony for over 4 years. The track had dusted up badly. It's still coming off every time I clean it 😅
For track cleaning, I use a dry swifter cloth on an extension pole to reach all the way around the track. It works great for "daily" dusting. If I haven't used the rack for a few weeks, then sometimes I use a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and distilled water lightly sprayed on a microfiber cloth block (I think the 1:1 scale car detailers use them for applying wax). People will tell you water is bad, I understand that. I only lightly dampen the sponge. Anyway, I have had good luck for 9 years on my permanent payout.
@chrish8645 I too use a little water. I use a damp microfibre cloth that's been rinsed in hot water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid. I then spray a little lubricating contact cleaner or Reductuer H72 onto a dry cloth and give the rails a quick wipe. Occasionally, I give the braids on 1 car a drop of Reducteur or braid juice and just do 5 laps...
ah yeah much better
You can tell that it was made back in 2009 when the camera is 15-20fps and the video quality looks like pastel paint 🤣
Yup, iPhone 3 from memory 😅
hell yeah
Old video from 2009 that was listed as private for some reason 🙄🤔
Love the layout so cool ❤
Thank you. It was my first drive after building the track, cleaning the rails and surface.
Nice track set up! Speed on the front stretch! Subbed Thank you
Thanks, it's a challenge at the end of short back straight. Only 20% power setting, so the long straight will be great fun 😅👍😎🏁 Thank you for subscribing 😊
Yes. I just wiped the rails with Reductuer H-72 and also applied a drop to the braids. Beautiful now 👍😎🏁
yeah I get that sometimes, while the rails don't rust, the carrera braid setup seems to be very sensitive to collecting up any dust that might be on the rails and making a bad contact, more so than other cars with different guide setups

Can I run a 1/50 Carrera slot car on my 1/43 Carrera GO Track?
G'day Mark, I've not heard of Carrera 1/50 scale. However, they used to produce Profi 1/40 scale, which was slightly bigger than 1/43 scale. It'd be a tight fit, and I'm not sure if the current limiting circuit in the connection straight will like the bigger motors. I have one somewhere. I'll try it one day...
Thank you for the info
Thanks for watching

Great video. Can you run eldon 1/32 cars something like budget Fast Lane brand (1/43 tracks) out of the box? Im not an electrical engineer to tinker around. Any idea? Regards.
Thanks, Possibly, if they fit. But I would suggest they’ll run slowly. Well worth a try. Let me know how it goes. All the best Roland
Thanks much for the quick reply and apologies for delayed response! I did try to run carrera and scx 1/32 on the fast lane track but it barely moved! So fail in that. Still trying to source an eldon car as online sellers are asking ridiculous prices (100 bucks) for one car 😂! I think eldon car motors are less powerful and look very similar to the 1/43 fast lane car motors. Will def keep you posted!
"promo sm" 😴
That cars amazing. They did a killer job with he fab work. And that judd is just the best sound on earth.
What an awesome video. Thanks so much. Really good to know. Can you use a 3rd party controller with better throttle control and features etc on Carrera Go? Reason i ask is im chasing realistic car behaviour but with limited space.
Thanks for your kind comments. You could just use the power and control from a Carrera Evolution set, as it unscrews from the track and the wiring un plugs from under the rails. Perhaps look for a cheap second hand Carrera Evolution set on Facebook Marketplace etc... Let me know if you have any further questions. All the best Roland Sydney Australia
Thanks! I’ve been trying to figure out if we could run bigger scale on Carrera Go. Looks like I shouldn’t bother.
Possibly not worth the effort/headache…
Thanks for the video. This was exactly what I wanted to know. But in addition I have two questions: -Are the 132 cars standard out of the box or did you modify anything? -Is the control unit the standard like in the D143 starter sets?
The Scalextric cars in the video where straight out of the box with the traction magnet still in place. The Carrera GO controller is the current electronic type and I didn't use the turbo button. The control box was all I had at the time, it can run on batteries or power supply. It's power delivery is the same as the current electronic versions in most current GO sets. Thanks for watching Roland Sydney Australia
Thanks for watching 😅
I only watched this to see a miniature crash.
Some u can but most u can’t in my experience
I agree
In your element 🥳❤️
Yes, I'm missing it too much. I have a couple vehicles to sell. Might use the proceeds to get back into something 😜
nothing like being at a race, cool
Was a good day 👍😎🏁
nothing like trading paint, very interesting didn't think it would work
There’s so many variables with the different GO power supplies, connector straights and controller combinations. That’s for another video though 😅 Thanks for watching 👍🏻😎
