The Scalextric "Super Stox " set seemed to have a tunnel building identified as Aero Motors. I have never seen one so not sure if it was just "Box Art" or if it was cardboard accessory.
Does anyone have a complete set and could share some close-up photos of the building? 
If anyone has such a thing for sale, let me know.

I've always wanted a track on wheels.   

   

               
David Mitcham originally carved a body which I moulded and a cast a few shells which I sent him for a proxy project.
Then a few years later the shell received a nose job, a grill, a seat back, screen frame, louvres, and separate exhausts for the V12 engine. 
I recently produced five kits , three of which I have sold.

Scorpius ANTI COLLISION, PEARL and ULTIMA 

Everyone has different needs or likes here and we have that added flexibility.

WHAT IS PEARL EXACTLY?

PEARL is as mentioned programmable and able to be customised to anyones liking.
Some notes on PEARL:

1) The "Race Line" is stored on the Lane Brain decoder and is 100% a function of the car. The Lane Brain (Lane changer electronics) have no role. They just do what theyre told 

2) You can choose to use or not use PEARL.

3) You can have certain drivers use PEARL and other drivers NOT use PEARL.

4) Everyone can have their own unique PEARL. ie race line.

5) Every driver who elects to use PEARL can escape the race line at any lane changer by pushing the LC button.

6) When using in conjunction with anti collision gives exactly the same result as BLST by my good friend David Caille. It is however achieved using a totally different method. 
ULTIMA is like BLST, but on steroids.

7) ULTIMA has total flexibility in every conceivable way.

8) Can work on single LCs and XLCs (2 LBS required at XLCs)

9) XLCs are not required and not really recommended, but can be used.

10) Livened flippers are standard equipment. Exit flippers can be active (move) or passive (not move) but can be livened none the less.

11) Can be utilised on hybrid analogue/digital tracks

12) Can be used bi-directionally.

13) Can be used on 2, 3, 4 or more lane tracks.

14) Does your washing up, vaccuums and more 

How is Anti Collision configured?

AC is totally a function of the Lane Brain relying off data from the cars. LEDs are placed in the track before the lane changer. The Lane Change LED is placed around 120-200mm (distance is relative to speed) before the flipper. The AC LED is in the adjacent lane (The lane the cars change into) a further 120-200 before the LC LED.

Using the Lane Brain set up page you can configure AC and lots of other adjustable parameters.

ie, Put the LED a fraction too far from the flipper? Easy, use delay.

Wired solenoid back to front? Easy, tick "Swap Flippers"

Using a pit lane entry, the liven flipper polarity will be set up to change lanes the other way. Need to change liven flipper polarity? Easy, just change polarity.

Want anti collision? Easy just tick the box,. Dont want it just untick.

Exit flipper opens and closes before the car passes through? Just increase the delay time.

How does Anti Collision work?

Its ultra simple. If the AC LED is noticed by a car it deactivates the lane changer for 50 milliseconds. Works every time.

How to set up PEARL?
Go into controller menu and activate "PEARL learn"

Drive around the track on YOUR preferred race line.

Put controller in PEARL "on" mode.

That's it.

Place car on track, it will now drive your race line without using the LC button.

Want to "escape" the race line, Just press the LC button. It will change a "LC command" to non change. Likewise if its default is straight you can change lanes by activating LC button.

Neat trick for pits
Sick of missing your pit bay? Press too early or too late. Hop the car over the pit lane entry by lifting and replacing. Drive car down pit lane and teach you car to pull into your pit bay. Now back to PEARL "On". Now never miss a pit bay entry again 


SO HOW DOES THE ULTIMA SYSTEM WORK?
What is ULTIMA? Ultima is when both PEARL and Anti Collision functions on the Scorpius system are used simultaneously. 

I have set it up this way because some will use both, some will use just Anti Collision (AC), some will use just PEARL. (Programmable Electronically Activated Race Line). 
The MPD does all the work. The car does nothing. The MPD captures the SSD cars ID from the infrared signal displayed from the cars LED embedded in the chassis. From here it processes everything and operates the lane changer accordingly.

I’ve been exploring upgrade options for the APB C7042 including the addition of an optically isolated USB port (first photo) and upgraded high speed lap counter sensors (second photo).

   

   

Both have been undergoing trials with collaborators in UK and/or USA and are giving solid and reliable results. More details to follow.

                       Some time ago I had these three types made. My supplier has ceased producing them and these are probably the last I have for sale. Made of 1mm panel steel zinc coated so they solder well.
Type one… for FK and FC motors with screw holes for mounting 
Type two… for FF motors with 1mm offset 
Type three… for FF motors but very short motor plate to axle centre, pinion needs shortening. Ideal for GP cars and a full length driver.
Costs 
Type one £5.50 per piece 
Type one A (the squared ones £3.50 per piece)
Type two £5.00 per piece 
Type three £4.00 per piece 
Mounting screws included in price.(m2)
Shipping for one or the lot is £14.00 because I am in NewZealand.

This thread is intended for digital slotcar enthusiasts who have an interest in repaing faulty digital decoders. They are easy to damage and expensive to replace. Repair is an option for those with a fine tipped soldering iron and basic knowledge of electronics. Next three posts should provide a simple overview of what can be achieved repair-wise.

Take a look ? at the video. 

I love seeing tracks with scenery and amazing attention to detail. 

My track is a little different. More monochrome! 

It’s temporary and built on a double bed. This is the winter 23-24 version. 

This short film features 4 Saloon ‘pace’ cars.
