I'm very glad I found you! I've been wondering what to do since Ninco "disappeared"... now with your guidance I've got a direction to go in. Your way of explanation is brilliant. I've subscribed and will be using your platform as my reference. Looking forward to your new postings. Many thanks indeed. 👏👏👏 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🇬🇧

Well done, young man. That was a good, slowly-spoken explanation of the basics of the Carrera digital system. I have yet to receive my set, but it has been ordered and is on its way, but I have been told that the enclosed instructions are far from easy to understand which doesn't surprise me as this is often the case with instruction manuals!
I look forward to watching more of your videos.

thank you for sharing this knowledge. I just got a used digital track yesterday and your video saved me a lot of reading time of which I don't always retain well.

Gave up my trains. Move 1300 miles to be with grand kids. Just started! Thought about when i was younger and running afx and tcr only thing i didnt like is you just went around, you could change lanes with tcr but it was a bad set up didn't last long. But fun! Any how saw a videos on some and noticed they had switches for lane changes, like my trains were computer chipped also😀, and ypu could run out of "gas" and the braking and speed control. Thanks now im hooked! 🎉😂

I remember going to Bass Pro Shops around Christmas and they had a Carerra NASCAR slot car setup with a pit road and lane changers for customers to play with. my brother and I didn't get a slot car set of our own until a couple of years later which was a basic Artin without any lane changing. Since then I wondered how that set at Bass Pro worked where you could change lanes and each car ran at a different speed until I found this video.

You literally answered all my questions about RC racing, excellent 👍🏻

Love the slot cars, gives me a great sense of nostalgia from the old Tyco sets from way back. Thanks for sharing!

I can't thank you enough for posting this. I bought an Evolution set back in early October of 2020 and fell in love with it. I started buying accessories but put them up. Four days ago I opened them and discovered they went with the digital set, not the analog set that I have. I started researching and it was possible to upgrade to a digital set but by the time I got thru buying the control unit, wireless handset, switch track and such I would have bought a new digital set and would have had more tack to go with it. So of course I decided to just buy a digital set only to discover they are ALL sold out across the board or lets just say the ones that are reasonably priced are. There are a few left over at Carreraslots but I decided to just wait till after christmas because surely some one will have one on sale some where or the price might be cheaper because after christmas generally thats when the sales start. Thanks again for posting this.

Had a question, found your video, quick and simple answer. Thank you for breaking it down so swiftly and simply.

[mcohn]

Thanks man! You answered EVERYTHING. Great video!

[ericperkins]

Ditto most of the comments. This video is the place to go to learn all these nuts and bolts of setting up cars within the Carrera parameters. Thanks!

I used to run my cars with the brakes at about 5 (depending on the car) so I could fully lift the throttle and coast around the turns while still carrying some decent speed. I now run them at max -- essentially charge as far into a turn as possible, hard on the binders, then throttle back up after I'm into the turn. This is out of necessity as some of the guys in my club don't have a lot of throttle and braking discipline and if I start slowing down early guaranteed somebody will run me off the track from behind.

This is absolutely great! Very helpful, can’t wait to get my first carrera set. New sub right here!

[harryp]

This was very interesting and I can see now how this works. I never understood the digital difference before. Thank you.

[saturncrush]

Nice. I always wanted to know about the lane change operation.

[Jhery_RC]

OMG! this is the first time some one explain all to me, and i fell this slot cars are wonderful, thanks for bringing lights into this all new world for me, i was wondering what was the difference between the digital, analog and all different systems.

I have boys and this is what i think they (we all) need jejej

thanks for the guidence.

[TheWeebs]

I love how you put the black tape, over the blue, Bluetooth light. Mate it’s blinding, and I did the same

[StellarionPrime]
