Thanks for the heads up

Advanced powerbase should be on anyone's shopping list!! Cracking piece of kit.

[sgrimshaw]

Just ordered the 6 car powerbase conversion kit, which is fantastic value compared with the constituent prices anyway but with 15% discount as well it's a real bargain.

Tried hard, but failed, to resist the pitlane game too

Nearly forgot the 8 Rad 3 curves ......

I think the pitgame itself isn't that special especially if you have a large track but with the software to run it through your laptop then its much better.
Sadly my computer knowledge stops before I get there. I have asked for advice on the slotforum but worry I may be lured by dirty old men with werthers originals.

This could push me over the edge , I could do with a conversion to the classic track and a digital set to upgrade .

I can't see any mention of the 15% on their site , is it automatically reduced at checkout or are the prices already reduced ?

I bought the Pitlane thing but only for the hardware. It's been tweaked slightly and now runs through a computer, and it's used to show the fuel level in each car. As you race, the three lights go out one by one as you use your fuel up. Once you get down to just one light, after a short while all three will flash. This is your cue to dive in to the pitlane to refuel. If it's a long race you obviously top up until all three lights are back on again, but if there are only a few laps left, you can do a splash and dash. Great fun.

That's just about summed up everything I need to know without having to take the werthers off the slotforum.
I may need instructions of how to set up the software on my laptop etc though.

Any links?

Thanks
