FAQs

What type of slot car systems is this powerbase compatible with?

This powerbase is designed exclusively for analogue slot car systems. It is not compatible with digital slot car systems.

Do I need a separate power supply unit?

Yes, the powerbase requires a compatible power supply unit to function. This unit connects to the powerbase and then to your mains electrical outlet.

Can I use this with other brands of analogue track?

While it is designed for Policar tracks, it may be compatible with other analogue track systems that use similar connection types, but this is not guaranteed. For best results, use with Policar track sections.

How do I clean the powerbase?

Wipe the powerbase with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, and never submerge the unit in water.

What are the border lanes for?

The included border lanes enhance the visual appearance of your track and can help prevent cars from leaving the track during tight turns.

Can I connect multiple powerbases together?

Typically, analogue powerbases are designed to power a single track section or loop. Connecting multiple powerbases might require specific knowledge of electrical load balancing and is generally not recommended without consulting the manufacturer's guidelines or an expert.

Troubleshooting

Car not receiving power

Check that the power supply is securely connected to the powerbase and the mains outlet. Ensure the track connections are clean and firmly seated. Verify the car's pick-up braids are making good contact with the track guides.

Inconsistent car speed

Inspect the track for any debris or obstructions. Clean the track guides and the car's pick-up braids. Ensure the power supply is adequate for the number of cars running.

Powerbase overheating

Disconnect power immediately. Ensure the powerbase is not covered and has adequate ventilation. Check if the power supply is the correct rating; an under-rated supply can cause overheating. If the issue persists, contact support.
