What are the specs of the PSU? Possible to use another? Ours burnt out too.

I apologise for not understanding what TTIUWP means

I can't get into the plug as it's sealed by 4 'screws' that are just completely flat, no slots for a screwdriver etc.

Am going to go down to the local model shop in the village tomorrow with the power base and the plug to get them both tested.

With regards to the picture, I'm afraid I only have one of everything packed up in my room as I said I'd 'test' it

Wooohoo. I have the Jaguar challenge. Man that takes me back

, my transformer is broke though and I need a new one.

Pffft, all of this is no match for what I have up in the attic...

BATMAN SCALEXTRIC!

You get a Batman car and a Joker car. What more could you want?

The ac adaptor is giving out power - the positive and negative terminals produce power fine and the guy in the shop tested it before I bought it....

Just checked auction site for most expensive track- £700 :-O

I liked the piece of track on the Jaguar challenge where the track goes very narrow and only one car normally stays on the track after they collide. Always remember that, brings back some great nostalgia that.

Don't think mine had that - sure you have the right one?! :confused:

rallyhub is an excellent track/scenery builder.

That was a classic set. The "tumbler" from Batman Begins can be had in Scalextric form. Looks very mean

100% Just dug it out. It's a small piece of track with yellow lines on just one piece you can add sort of a narrow chicane. Maybe I bought it as an extra piece or something

Yeh I think you must've as it doesn't have it labelled on the box!

I remember buying two extra chicanes - a skid chicane and a short chicane. The skid one is awesome - always sends cars flying

Sounds like a dodgy transformer, its always the same with Scalextric I find, again and again. You can get a new one for £3.10. If it was me though, I'd just get the Subbuteo out instead and since my Uncle owns a sports shop I have access to quite rare east european squads and that.

Any similarity in the above to a song by Half Man Half Biscuit is purely coincidental.

Dukla Prague by any chance?

they have to have a massive bridge and the bump track section, smoke starts are always a plus =D

acharris · 23 Sep 2007 at 14:48

Cool Scalextric set, I have the Le-Mans 24 hrs set with the gold and silver porsche packed away on top of my wardrobe. Also I bought Mansells F1 Car, A Ferrari F1, and 2 other Le-man cars. The 4 Le-mans cars all have headlights and the F1's has the red light on the back lighting up.

Also I had the smoke thing, dunlop bridge and a few other bits and bobs. Same I can't get it set up now due to lack of room
