Overview (with some depth) of the features and use of the Scalextric App Race Control (ARC) app.

Been trying to decide for weeks what power/counter system to go with my big collection of ninco track. This was very helpful. Going to get an Arc one air and if I am so lucky one day to need more lanes or features than it offers go from there.

Do you also want the wireless controllers? If so, good choice. If you prefer your existing (maybe club style?) controllers, then getting the ARC One (not Air) is good. Just disconnect the wires to the rails (there are plugs inside the case you can just disconnect), and power your track the way you already do.

@@ggaub replacing a ninco digital setup so I’m starting fresh controller wise. People seem to like the arc air controllers enough. I always liked the ninco ones and the ninco pros because they feel like quality club/OG Parma ones. Figured if I stick consistently with the hobby I can always splurge for the slot it and use on whatever. Thanks again.

@@camerondpack The ARC Air/Pro (wireless) controllers are great, ergonomically. If you liked the Ninco Digital controllers, I'm sure you'll like these as well. Did you know that the ARC Pro (digital) base has a switch on the side to set it to analog (ARC Air) mode? If you think digital might be in your future, it makes sense to go ahead and get that base, even if you use it in analog mode for the first several months, or even years.

Just ordered the ARC AIR. The pace seems interesting but the speed may really have to be reduced to accommodate sharp turns like hairpins. Basically the top speed of the pace car is the speed that allows it to get around every corner. I would be cool if you could drive a lap and the app would remember all the speed inputs you made around the track and save that as the pace(ghost) car.

Yes, that would be nice. The way around that is to use your best, most stable, stuck down car (like, with magnets) as the pacer, then run a few laps with another car (like, no magnets) to establish your best lap time. Then, set the pacer to complete its laps slightly faster than you, and practice against it, trying to not let it win. ;-)

Not yet... but this video is 4 years old, so.... I might have been. Heck, by the time someone reads this in the future, I might be.

Close enough. :) You're wanting to go to naste.org. They are in your area, with a variety of tracks, including a couple digital ones, and lots of analog ones. Have fun!

great vid thax, does the drag race mode cut the power at the end of the race?

Dunno. never tested that.

Why have they got three versions of this? It should have been modular and upgradeable. No surprize that the Pro version still isn't out.

I was not happy with their decision, either, but it's not that complicated. ARC One and Air are analog. One is wired controllers, and AIR is wireless. Pro will be digital with wireless.
