CLEANING THE TRACKS
SCX Digital System track slots are impregnated with a special oil which protects
them during manufacture and subsequent storage. Remove this protection by
rubbing all slots with a clean cloth, slightly moistened with alcohol (never with
water or oil). It is very important that the tracks are clean. Use the Track Cleaner
(ref. 88580, sold separately) for this.

DISMANTLING AND STORAGE
Once the circuit has been dismantled, it is recommended that you keep it in its
original box, in a dry place safe from high temperatures.
Note: For this equipment to work properly, a transformer marked
with the Tecnitoys and the phrase “This transformer should
only be used with Digital System” must be used.
Welcome to the new digital era of competition
Digital technology makes all this possible:
- Race up to 6 cars at a time on a 2-lane track.
- Actual overtaking by changing to/from any lane.
- Constant information about the progress of the race, showing the leader, the lap
count and more…
- Power Line technology allows connecting several accessories
without the cars losing any power.
Important: The circuit you have just purchased may not include
all the accessories described in this instruction manual.
Important : In order to connect or disconnect any device on the circuit (with the exception
of the speed controllers), you must first disconnect the Pit Box
transformer.
For Digital System circuits to work properly,
all tracks must be correctly put together.
Connections
Power LED: The power LED (a red light next to the transformer connections) shows
whether the circuit requires more power. If the LED is flashing rapidly or slowly, this
means that another transformer needs to be added to the circuit.
The circuit you have just purchased includes the transformer needed for it to work
properly. Should you require further transformers, these are sold separately as ref.
20070.
Programming the car
Important : The Pit Box must ALWAYS be connected to your connection track (this
is the track supplied with this circuit which has starting positions 1 and 2 marked
on it). This connection track is exclusively for Pit Box and cannot be replaced by any
other part. If the Pit Box is not connected to this exclusive track it will NOT work.
When you connect the Pit Box transformer the controller connection lights will flash
intermittently. As you connect the controllers these lights will come on constantly.
The transformers can be connected to any of the three connections on the side of
the Pit Box.
PROGRAMMING THE CAR
Before programming:
Put the numbers on the cars in order from left to right:
1. The first controller controls the car with number 1.
2. The second controller controls the car with number 2.
3. The third controller controls the car with number 3.
This avoids confusion in determining which controller controls which car and over the
position of each car during the race. This circuit is supplied with a sheet with all the
numbers.
To programme the cars, follow these steps ALWAYS from the primary digital central
unit (remember that the digital base unit is only used to connect the controllers
for cars 4, 5 and 6).
4. Press the red button down until the red light come on
(see illustration 4 ).
5. Press the change button at the back of
the controller (see illustration 5 ).
6. The car’s lights will automatically come on,
showing that the car has been programmed.
Then take the car off the track, replace it and
the car will be ready to race.
(see illustration 6
).).
1. Cars must always be programmed one at a time,
NEVER all at once.
2. Select the car and controller with which to race.
3. Place the car on the track. There must not be any
other cars in either of the two slots on the circuit,
otherwise all the cars on the track would be programmed
with the same controller and connection.
If the connection of the controller is changed, the car will still
be programmed for the old connection.
It is very important to remember that the car is programmed
for the connection, not the controller.

SETTING THE SPEED
Speed modes:
1. Expert: For experienced drivers (default speed
programmed into the circuit)
2. Junior: For novice drivers.
To set the speed to Junior, do the following:
1. Put the car on the track (see illustration 1 ).
Remember that the car must first have been
programmed (see previous section).
2. Press the yellow button down for 4 seconds until
the red light comes on (see illustration 2 ).
