Magnetising ferrous block magnets

To maintain a healthy magnetic field strength the ferrous block magnet must be magnetised with the motor assembled. We have the equipment to do this. Completely "dead" magnets can be brought back to life and the magnetic field can even be reversed in just a second. Reversing the magnetic field will change the direction of rotation of the motor. We'll need the complete assembled motor or complete car to magnetise the motor magnet.

Only the ferrous block magnets as fitted to the RX motor, Powersledge motor and the Formula Junior motor can be magnetised in this way.

Slot car Digital conversions

Converting some of the older Scalextric cars to operate on the modern Scalextric Digital system can be very difficult as there is often no space to fit the Digital Chip. In addition to fitting the chip there may be other upgrades required in order for your car to operate at its best on the modern Digital track. These could include; motor upgrade, better grip tyres and magnatraction magnet.

We pride ourselves on fitting Digital chips so that there's no visible evidence; no cut bodywork, no visible wires and the body and chassis fit together perfectly.

Digital conversion of Scalextric Police cars requires specialist electronic knowledge if the lights and siren are to work afterwards. Take a look at the C2808 Range Rover Police car below to see how we do it.
