Product Info
Scalextric C8515 EasyFit Digital Plug is the official plug-and-play solution for converting compatible DPR (Digital Plug Ready) Scalextric cars from analogue operation to full Scalextric Digital functionality.
Most Scalextric cars manufactured from 2007 onwards feature a DPR socket hidden beneath a small access panel on the chassis. Scalextric C8515 simply replaces the blanking plate and connects directly to the existing wiring harness, allowing conversion in less than a minute using only a small screwdriver.
The compact digital chip is designed specifically for standard closed-wheel DPR cars including GT, touring, rally, endurance, and saloon models. Once installed, the chip integrates seamlessly with your existing Scalextric Digital layout, enabling lane-changing functionality through compatible digital lane changers and powerbases. Your set must have a Digital powerbase for the Scalextric C8515 to work. If in doubt, please ask.
To Convert a DPR car:
1. Unscrew the panel on the base of the car and disconnect the braid-to-motor wiring plug.
2. Connect the EasyFit Digital Plug to the braid-to-motor wiring plug.
3. Replace the retaining screw to secure the EasyFit Digital Plug to the chassis.
