Product detailed description

Lotus 79 USA GP 1979 Andretti HD 1/32             Scalextric C4423

Scale: 1/32

This car model is equipped with strong magnets on the bottom of the chassis, which improve driving characteristics on the track.

This track car can be equipped with a digital decoder and then used on a digital track.

Explanation
Classic (analog) control allows you to drive the car in only one lane. If you put two cars on the same track, they will both move at the same time, in the same direction and at the same speed.
Digital control makes it possible to shift switches between grooves and to move the car from track to track via the controller. Several cars can drive in one slot at the same time, each of them controlled by its controller and can go at a different speed (or even stop).

Car maintenance
A track car requires proper handling and regular maintenance. For basic maintenance, it is sufficient to drop fine machine oil on the drive gears (a small amount). Before oiling, protect the pantographs on the lead so that they have good electrical contact with the tracks, and also protect the tires. If hair or hair from the carpet gets caught on the axle of the wheels, it is necessary to carefully remove them so that the wheels can rotate freely without increased resistance.

Lifetime of the car:
The lifespan of a track car is limited by the intensity of use. With frequent and intensive use, it is necessary to take into account the fact that moving and frictional parts of the car will wear out (rubbers, gears, engine carbons, collecting brushes, etc.). In order to ensure the longest possible life of the car, we recommend that you regularly clean it (also from the inside from collected dust), oil it and check the temperature of the engine by putting your palm under the car during long drives. If the engine is hot, park the car, preferably with the wheels up, to let the engine cool down. This will significantly extend the life of the car. To extend the life of the car, do not let it push or drag objects on the track, do not put obstacles on the track, try to drive so that the car does not hit with great force and does not fall off the track at high speed. Braking the wheels of the driven axle with dirt, obstacles, fingers, etc., can cause permanent damage to the engine or gears. Strong car impacts are also not good.

Safety notice
This car track is a model (cars are exact scale models), not a toy suitable for children under 8! Some parts have sharp edges and corners, which can injure a child if used carelessly. Small parts could be swallowed by a small child!
The transformer is an electrical device and should be inspected before each use for signs of surface damage or damage to the power cord. In case of doubt, or in case of damage, it should not be used until it has been checked and repaired by a professional. It's an electrical device! Only use the supplied transformer, always under adult supervision and unplug it from the mains whenever the track is not in use. A transformer is not a toy. As with any electrical device, there is a risk of electric shock if handled incorrectly. The transformer should be disconnected from the electrical network even when cleaning the track.
