- Does it need a phone or tablet to race?
- No. The cars run without the app using the wireless controllers. The app adds lap timing, pit stops and race stats, so you need a phone or tablet only for those features.
- What is the difference between ARC AIR and ARC PRO?
- ARC AIR is an analog set with app timing and wireless controllers. ARC PRO is the digital system that supports multiple cars per lane and add-on digital features. ARC AIR cannot be upgraded to ARC PRO.
- Are batteries included?
- No batteries are included. The wireless controllers need batteries or charging before the first race, so check what your controllers require and have them ready.
- How much space does the track need?
- The set gives over 6.8 meters of track across 12 layouts, so plan for a floor or table area larger than a typical coffee table. Smaller layouts fit in a spare room.
- What is in the box?
- Two cars (Aston Martin GT3 and Porsche 911 GT3), two wireless hand controllers, a transformer, a powerbase, 21 track pieces and 24 track barriers.
- Is it suitable for a 5-year-old?
- Scalextric rates it from age 5, but young children need help building the track and handling the cars. The cars and barriers are not indestructible.
