The modern cars are produced for two different operating systems. The original Analogue system and the new Digital system. I will explore both these systems in detail, in the following paragraphs.
ANALOGUE SYSTEM:
Using this operating system, racers drive their cars around the track, staying in their own lane. Each driver has a hand throttle used to control their cars speed. The skill involves racing the car as fast as possible, without de-slotting from your lane. The driver who can lap quickest, without coming off wins the race. This system is simple in terms of electrical complexity and is easy to maintain. Another benefit of the analogue systems is that it is usually about half the cost of a Digital system. This system provides a good entry level for people just starting out in model car racing.
DIGITAL SYSTEM:
With the digital system up to six people can race on a two lane track. This is achieved by modern electronics. Each car is fitted with a digital chip, which is tuned to the drivers digital hand throttle. Special lane changing track sections allow cars to change lanes. This is accomplished when the driver depresses a lane changing button on his digital hand throttle, as he approached the lane changing section. As you can imagine, this adds a lot of extra excitement to the racing, as you can change lanes in order to overtake your opponent. Other digital accessories like, digital lap counting, pit stop fuel box and digital chronometer all add to the racing spectacle. The cost of a digital system is about double that of an analogue system.
SCX also produces a wide range of system accessories, they include various track sections, barriers, lap counters and chronometers. The company also produce a lot a spare parts for their cars, which include electric motors, various gearing components, pick up guides and racing braid.
In Summary, the SCX Racing Car Systems provide wonderful entertainment for both children and adults alike. Modern innovations such as the digital system, combined with other quality products, offer exciting slot car racing potential.
