I can't thank you enough for developing this. You did a remarkable job making something to useful that's also easy enough for even beginners to to install. I no longer have an excuse to avoid buying all the SlotIt cars on my wanted list.
Really happy you are doing these information videos! It gives us more confidence as a Hobbyist to tinker with our cars! More tinkering, more enjoyment, more sales results in a healthier hobby community! Thanks! 🏎🏁
No answers here, although there are sooo many questions. Bought a Porsche 956 CA09M for my Carrera digital, because i love this car so much, but what kind of negative surprise. Cheapest plastic. Therefore to expensive if i need to buy a decoder where a lot of work is needed to get it working. Sorry, first and only. Expensive decoration
I have the chip "SP43".................And its hard to find out which new slot it cars are ready to plug and play with this chip and no soldering.................sellers seem reluctant to give up information.....they say "digital ready" but then say a chip can be soldered in ......hmmmmmm.
Brad, have you had any luck identifying the cars that are actually plug and play ready for the sisp43 chip? Is there a list of cars somewhere we can use? I ordered a new slotit group c car and the sisp43 chip but the new car does NOT have the connector for the chip. Very disappointing.
@@RVJimD Im no expert, but is is said after a certain date the cars should have that connector.....I remember asking sellers if a car was chip ready, most couldnt say.
Maurizio The SP43 does not appear to support the D132 brake level adjustment from the CU. The documentation does not mention this. The braking effect when I installed the SP43 chip on a CA29A Audi R18 is severe and doesn't change with the CU settings. The chip is also very disturbed by the power interruption of the gaps when crossing lane changers. I removed the SP43 and installed a Slottechnik chip and it works as expected with brake adjustment capability and less disruption over the LC's. Is there a possibility of a firmware update to these chips? I feel this is a big miss on your product and that as more people begin to use it the more people will be disappointed.. Thanks Ed
Thankyou for demonstrating how this is assembled. Another area I am looking forward to seeing/hearing about is the complicated area of your slot car controllers. I have a Carrera track, I run analog and digital (by swapping out powerbases) and am likely to join a club running on a wooden track. in Australia, Armchair Racer have kindly provided a solution on how this could be done with one Slot.it controller (SCP201) and 3 different cartridges (1. Analog home, 2. Analog 20amp, 3. digital). The combined cost mounts up and I can see a newer controller wireless SCP301A that doesn't do digital Carrera yet. Could you tell me what are the future plans with Slot.It controllers and possible delivery timing?
I just got the Slot.it Porsche 962C, model CA03m. It has the quick connect cables as shown in the video, but I don't see a pin as mentioned at 2:22 in the video, and I can't find the Retainer, shown at around 2:45 in the video. Not in the box of the car, or the SP43 chip. Is that something only being included in the last few releases? I thought the CA03m car was pretty new. What am I missing here? Any help or explanation would be much appreciated! Thank you for the videos and the wonderful cars!

Before installing the chip, I ran a few laps on my digital/analog track using TekSlot, the car ran like a typical Slot-it, smooth and predictable. Once I installed the chip, a different story. I’m using a Frankenslot controller and even tried a Truespeed one, I adjusted the sensitivity and it was still a handful. It was no longer smooth and predictable, I changed the breaks to minimum on the CU and speed at blinking 4, didn’t seem to effect the breaks. It stops almost on a dime, and the speed seems faster than 4. Dropped the speed to three led on the CU, the car was slow, I can almost hold the trigger down. I will try another chip, but I bought them at the same time. I ran the car without magnet. Any ideas? Install was easy, just wish screws would come with the chips. Just my two cents. I switched back to analog and the car runs great. Ran some Carrera digital cars to make sure something was not right with my CU, no problems.
Could I use this chip with a 18.5V transformer? Or do I need to get a variable power supply and put it under 14v? I’ve got a Carrera 124 stock transformer.
Maybe it would be nice to use red and black wire leads sa as to make it easy to know which is pos and neg. Slotit and policer are the only slot cars with that connecter. For others it would be nice to know and a reminder to isolate the underside if used on a REVO slot car which is aluminium, terrible installation instructions.
what about Slotit cars that don't come with the connectors for the carrera chip. All wires are red. Which do you connect to which. Maybe instructions would be a good idea. Not really impressed. with that.
My club is interested in the generic modern F1 cars for the coming season. We are a Carrera digital club. Will this chip work with these chassis? If not, which chip will work?

@@bradsanders6954 I believe I read most slot-it cars after 2021 are plug and play
The problem I am having is that the SP43 is not seating in the car. The plugs seem to work but the board is not seating

Plus, the small bag of parts that came with the car did not include a screw to anchor the board
Great video! Ty
Awesome

Provided screws? All I got with the chip package was the chip and what looks like a capacitor
Very cool system! I hope it can be ordered in Germany soon !?

I attempted to install the chip in my slot it car but the hole in the board does not line up with the pin in the chassis
Can you plug the headlights/taillights to it?

I wish it was that easy. Would be nice to know where positive and negative are on input and output on the chip.
Does it work for the vintage F1 cars like the Rob Walker Lotus?
thanks for the video maurizio. it did not look like there was a ferrite man on that motor. is that still required for these chips?
Does this chip fit in the Policar F1 cars?
Do you Have A OXIGEN CHIP For A scalextric 1/32 slot cars And A VIDEO THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO INSTALL THE CHIP
Could I use this chip with a 18.5V transformer? Or do I need to get a variable power supply and put it under 14v? I’ve got a Carrera 124 stock transformer.
Can I do this with my NSR cars
"By pure chance...." >LOLOLLOLLOOOLLLLLLL
Thanks VERY much for doing this video.

Tale chip permette il cambio corsia? (Lo so domanda abbastanza stupida)
Yes 😊

My club is interested in the generic modern F1 cars for the coming season. We are a Carrera digital club. Will this chip work with these chassis? If not, which chip will work?
Yes, the modern F1 cars have 2 chassis on the box, one for digital and one stnadard. For the SP43 you have to use the separate LED code SP32.
@@stefanozannoni5434 Excellent information. Thank you. Also, I know they do not come with magnets, but is there space for magnets on the chassis?
No adjustable brakes no safety car. Stops when passing over dead spots. Do not trust this man.
