Thunderslot on the Carrera Digital 132, that's a must

When upgrading to digital, we only use the Carrera Digital 132 decoder. For most models the cockpit needs to be replaced.

Up on request, we can also install lights. The lighting functions the same as the original Carrera lighting, including the brake light. Unless otherwise specified, we use xenon LEDs for modern cars and warm white LEDs for classic cars. If you require other versions, please indicate this in the comments field at the end of your order. The lights will be equipped with the same connectors as the original Carrera lighting. Additional headlights can be ordered separately, if feasible.

Lights for use on analoge tracks

For each analog car we offer also our high quality OVERDRIVE permanent lightkits. Normally we use for modern cars LEDs with xenon effect and for classic cars warm white LEDs.
Additional headlights can be ordered separately, if feasible.

Tuning Thunderslot generell

  • Running in the motor
    We run the motor in at low voltage for several hours without load. This allows the speed to be increased by up to 10%. The rule here is: the lower the quality of the motor (e.g., Fly Standard), the more effective the run-in process will be.
     

  • Running in the slotcar
    The motor and transmission are slowly run in at low voltage. The axle is then cleaned, the transmission is greased, and the bearings are oiled.

Tuning Thunderslot slotcars

  • Trued Ortmann tires
    The rear axle gets perfectly fitting Ortmann tires, and the entire axle is then ground flat in the RSM. This is the minimum tuning to ensure the car is fun to drive.

  • Tuningset Expert
    The Classic slot cars with sidewinder are extreme smooth to race, even without magnet. In this case, the car is fitted with trued Ortmann tires, the magnet is removed, and the chassis is weighted accordingly.

     

  • Tuningset Power
    If you want to go really fast, we swap the motor for a 25000 rpm SRP motor with plenty of torque. The car also gets trued Ortmann tires.
