New Arcade race mode allows you to pick up powerups to influence your opponent's race, slowing them to a crawl among the other 7 other Race modes available. ARC PRO allows you to race a ghost car. From the Manufacturer The Scalextric C7005 is Digital Chip for non DPR Open Wheel Cars requires soldering. Review: A Must for Converting Non-DPR Slot Cars to Scalextric Digital Format - These things work very well. You use them to convert non-DPR, or just about any modestly-powered slot car, to run on Scalextric Digital tracks. Installation is a bit tricky. You must have at least rudimentary soldering skills and a suitable (somewhat low-wattage) soldering iron to install them. Review: Works well enough for somethings but has some drawbacks for others. - Without having read any others on desertcart or elsewhere will say that this is the only chip scaly makes now for their non dpr toys. Previously they had a larger 7006 available but use of dpr has eliminated it (some popular scaly cars being reissued now as dpr.) It should not be used with faster amp draining motors and strong magnets thus some brands may require an alternative chip and it does not support headlights and do not even consider installing it in a current vintage f1 unless you can do electronic chip surgery (no dpr available for them either) . The lead wires to the motor are shorter than I usually use, so don't plan on removing wires from motor end. I normally plan chip location first with 1st priority given to electronic eye, before cutting guide to motor wire. Yes you can lengthen eye with a lot of soldering skills but best to avoid. You do get black guides with the chip, required for use with digital lap counters and thus you can save the blue ones that came with the older cars for only analog use on others not going digital. You must solder chip in so it normally takes 8 pre solder wires and then 4 combining wires. Yes you might get lucky with a smaller car that has short guide to motor distance to reduce number but plan on doing 12. The instructions come as a general guide with limited instructions for each possible kind of scalextric toy available and a separate drawn black and white guide that is poorly labeled. My advice is study it for which pics apply and open up the car to see where color wires run then match it to the instruction manual. If you get it wrong, car will run backwards so just resolder. Yes they must know instructions are poor by now. Make sure you tape the soldered wires well because if they touch metal afterwards you will blow the chip and your money. Ok if you need a more powerful chip that can take about anything, buy the slot it which will cost you about twice as much and make the chip location more of a puzzle due to electronic eye. Any relocation of eye will require soldering skill beyond mine. However they will handle head lights. Hope this helps because I have installed over a dozen scalextric chips in indys and nascars. Never easy like dpr chips but they do work if done right. One last thing - never buy used chips because after taking an hour or so to install you do not want to find a dead one was resold to you. ## Features - Scalextric brings the thrill and excitement of motor racing to life in your living room! Scalextric is the ultimate motor racing system for all ages, where miniature cars race against each other on special track, getting their power from a slot in the middle of each lane (you will sometimes hear Scalextric called slot racing). - The in-car microprocessor module allows the conversion of a standard Scalextric car to work on Scalextric Digital layouts. Most Scalextric cars, from 1957 to current date, can be converted to digital operation. The conversion requires hobbyist skills and some tools including a soldering iron. For Digital Plug Ready Cars (DPR) use the C8515 Easy Fit Digital Plug or C8516 F1 Easy Fit Digital Plug. - Scalextric Digital brings slot car racing to a whole new level! Upgrade your existing analog track with Scalextric digital track pieces. Race up to six cars on 2 lanes with the pit lane and lane-changing track pieces. To upgrade your existing analog slot car set, you will need a Scalextric Digital Powerbase with Digital Hand Controllers, digital lane change pieces and upgrade your cars with the Digital Plug Ready (DPR) Chip. - Scalextric offers everything for your 1:32nd Scale Slot Car Racing needs, build your own real life circuits and offer vehicles in all genres of racing. Adding buildings, borders and accessories helps create the realism of the race track! - Extend your slot car circuit with Scalextric Track Extension Packs. Fully flexible in design, any track extension packs can be added to Standard or Digital Scalextric circuits. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #440,707 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #368 in Slot Cars | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 66 Reviews | ## Images ![Scalextric C7005 Digital Chip for Non DPR Open Wheel Cars - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L4InPu7YL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Has anyone used this chip to convert a scx digital car to scalextric digital? if you have please respond, if you haven't there is no need to respond** A: I have 6 SCX DTM cars with this chip installed. I bought the setup used and they initially worked well. I ended up frying the circuits somehow and will have to replace them. Again, I bought the cars with this chip already installed so I have no idea how old or how hard they were ran prior. I hope this helps. **Q: what does digital do?** A: Digital allows you to run up to six cars depending on the control unit. It also allows you to change lanes with the proper track. **Q: Can you fit this chip to a Carrera digital 132car?** A: A carrera digital car already has a chip in it for racing on the Carrera digital system. You would have to remove the original chip and install c7005 for digital racing only on the Scalextric system. Believe the Oxygen system allows you to use their chip for everything but the cost of that system is much higher. As for running on any pure analog system, both the current digital version of carrera and all versions of scalextric allow it , which again believe Oxygen does not. **Q: What makes this specifically for open wheel cars? Can it be used for other body styles?** A: It is a very compact design and needs you to specifically fix the sensor into a hole in the bottom of the car that you will likely have to create depending on the age of the car. The C7006 has the sensor mounted on the card and will not fit the open wheeled cars. Yes.....you can use the 7005 in any car really that is not DPR ready and I have found in many cases it is a better choice than the 7006 as it offers a little more choice in where you mount the PCB card and the sensor ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Must for Converting Non-DPR Slot Cars to Scalextric Digital Format *by J***T on December 30, 2016* These things work very well.

The C7005 is for the open body cars (eg Formula 1 style) and I have 4 or 5 of these to do. I put a C7006 in a saloon car first but the formula one car was a little trickier. Because there is less space in these cars the LED transmitter is not mounted directly onto a PCB so you need to make your own mount. I used their suggestion though using a washer from one of the car display cases. The trickier part was getting the main PCB in the car and I had to cut a piece of plastic to make it work, although the cut is not visible once you re-assemble the car. So 2 cars down, but I think each one will be a little easier! ## Frequently Bought Together - Scalextric Digital C7005 Incar Conversion Digital Chip (A) for Single Seat Cars 1:32 Scale Accessory - Scalextric Digital C8515 Plug for Digital Plug Ready (DPR) Saloon cars 1:32 Scale Accessory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1678462-scalextric-c7005-digital-chip-for-non-dpr-open-wheel-cars](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1678462-scalextric-c7005-digital-chip-for-non-dpr-open-wheel-cars) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
