Getting started

The Scalextric ARC (App Race Control) hardware is a powerbase that uses the same track connections as the current Scalextric Sport track. Simply connect the ARC powerbase directly into any of the Scalextric track pieces. This will allow you to use and manage the ARC software wirelessly via your smart phone or tablet device.

To experience the Scalextric ARC system you can choose from one of our ARC sets, or alternatively replace your existing powerbase from your Scalextric track with one of the ARC Powerbase Upgrade Kits to unlock a whole new level of slot racing fun.
