Scalextric ARC 4+

Love it ! So much better than dragging cables across the track every time your cars come off especially with kids . Recommend the Scalectric START cars when using pace car as they stick to track better . Just remember not to have the old power hub or any digital lap timers connected when you fit it as it will fry the board on the Arc air .

I would have given it 5 stars if it saved fastest lap times ideally under a name . The power supply has no on off switch so have to keep unplugging it which is a bit stupid but apparently you can have a switch put in power cable which I will do at some point .

Bought the ARC Air Power base with the view to entertaining the family with a round robin competition using the Tournament option on this app. We were disappointed to find that on every attempt to run the competition it finished early before everybody raced everyone else, we ended up having to write down a race schedule and record each race result. Although all the other features seem to work fine, it was annoying to find that the main reason for buying the ARC Air Powerbase doesn’t work properly.

The app concept is brilliant. The big improvements would be a more complete car library ... the last 3 years just isn’t long enough for the enthusiast who will use this app. Secondly the bugs. The main one being for me that the app works great on my iPhone but the screen is too small so I put it on my up to date iPad mini. When I click my garage it crashes so I can’t load any cars to use in a race. So the app is unusable. Other reviewers have also flagged the issue. If this could be fixed it would be a great app!
