Scalextric Sport Digital System. (SSD)

 

To experience this exciting new dimension in Scalextric racing, simply add a Conversion Kit (C7011) to your existing Scalextric layout.

Add as many SSD Lane Change Track pieces as you wish, put your chipped cars on the track and start racing. Race up to 6 cars on one lane with an additional SSD Power Supply (C7004).

Exploit the geometry of the SSD Lane Change track pieces to incorporate realistic overtaking opportunities through the curves of your layout.

Most recent Scalextric and other brand cars can also be raced on the SSD system using the Retro-fit Chip. All SSD chipped cars will also race on Scalextric non-digital track.

 

Advantages – As the title suggests Scalextric Sport Digital uses Scalextric Sport track sections so you can either convert your existing Sport system by adding a conversion set or using one of the starter sets. Adding additional Sport track allows you to vary the track design to suit your requirements.

Advantages – The change over mechanism is incorporated in the cross over track sections unlike some other systems that rely upon the car to cross over. This has the advantage that the cars are cheaper than some of its competitors; you are also able to convert either Scalextric & other manufacturers cars to race on the digital track with the addition of a simple ‘chip’ that requires fitting inside the car.

Disadvantages – the starter sets are only supplied with equipment for 2 drivers. The power base can be a little crowded, especially if there are 6 drivers using the track at the same time. The lap counting function is quite small and can be a little difficult to read.
