Power Slot Cryo. Frozen Rotors has teamed up with Power Slot to develop Power Slot-Cryo, cryogenically treated brake rotors. Power Slot rotors are designed to beat the challenges of high performance driving and severe duty brake demands, and represent one of the most cost-efficient performance brake upgrades offered in the market today. Slot car tracks with lane lengths greater than about 20-25 feet will need to have power applied at several locations. The rail connections at the joints in plastic sectional track are the single largest factor contributing to voltage drops as the cars move farther and farther away from the power terminal track. 2-Slot Figure 8 Equipment Cable. The Cable Matters 2-Slot Figure-8 AC power cord is the ideal replacement for a lost or short factory cord. It is universally compatible with small appliances and electronics that have a non-polarized 2-slot receptacle.
How about those cute little Tomy AFX Controllers? Pity there not much good for adult hands. They have a limited life span and will fail after a point. So if you have worn out your controllers, you are faced with a choice. Now is a good time to purchase a better controller.
If you have a hobby shop with a HO raceway close by, see if they can order you a Parma 45 ohm Econo Controller. If not, go on-line or to eBay and look them up. They are a great first-step upgrade.
When you have it in your new unit, you can see it has three wires – not two like the set units. That third wire is for ‘dynamic braking’. Check the back of the Parma box for wiring instructions. ’Dynamic Braking’ gives you better car control with some car designs. It’s a nice feature to have for cars that tend to ‘roll’ a lot after you let off on the trigger.
Once you have better controllers you should invest in a better power supply. You are after a REGULATED power supply (one that is variable is good) that has plenty of amps. If your cars slow to a crawl on the far side of the track it may not be a car or track problem. The blame is more than likely the small amount of Milliamps being put out by the standard Tomy AFX power pack. A better power supply will fix that problem. It also means that you can use the ‘Dynamic Braking’ feature of the controllers much easier.
Modern AFX and Tyco slot car motors require a power supply producing 18 to 20 volts of direct current (VDC), while older Model Motoring cars require 20 to 24 VDC. The wall-outlet power pack supplied with most boxed racing sets is not sufficient for use on large table-mounted racing layouts.
DC power supplies normally have two specifications, the output voltage and the output current. Modern HO slot car motors require at least 18 VDC, and 1 ampere or more of current for proper operation. Most of the DC power supplies currently being manufactured provide only 12 to 13.8 VDC. These WILL NOT work for HO slot car tracks. They will however work properly for larger 1:32 and 1:24 scale slot car tracks.

A good quality DC power supply is essential to safe, trouble-free racing and prolonged motor life. Investing in a good power supply will quickly pay for itself in motor savings alone.

A good rule of thumb to use when determining the size of the power supply required is to multiply the number of lanes by 1 ampere or more. Especially long layouts or very hot motor armatures may require more power, but 1-2 amperes per lane should be sufficient for all but the most demanding racing situations.
A 5-10 ampere DC power supply would be a good choice for a long 4-lane racing layout. This should provide sufficient power with an adequate reserve.
Power needs to be applied evenly around the entire race track. Slot car tracks with lane lengths greater than about 20-25 feet will need to have power applied at several locations. The rail connections at the joints in plastic sectional track are the single largest factor contributing to voltage drops as the cars move farther and farther away from the power terminal track.

It is often said that power should be applied every 15 or 20 feet for an even power distribution. This is true, but an even better way of determining power terminal track spacing is to count track joints. It is the joints that rob your track of power not just the length. Applying power every 12 to 15 track joints will assure that your track is properly powered.
It is important to determine where power will be applied before you build your track and mount it permanently to a table. Racers who skimp on adequate track power distribution will be disappointed when they have completed their track and find that cars slow dramatically on those sections of the race track farthest from the power taps.
Replacing the power supply with a unit producing higher amperage has very little effect on power distribution. Inadequate power distribution produces voltage drops around the circuit. All of the amps in the world can’t overcome this drop in voltage though.

Powering each lane with 1 or 2 amperes is sufficient if power is distributed evenly. It’s far more important to apply track power evenly around the racing circuit than it is to have a high-output power supply feeding a single set of power terminal tracks. Regardless of the power supply output, cars will slow down dramatically as they travel farther away from the power source.
Generally speaking, a 4-lane race track mounted on a 4×8 foot table would require 2 or3 power taps, while a 4×12 foot table would probably require at least 4 or 5 taps. Even larger and longer race tracks may need as many as 10 power taps. Count the joints for a single lane and then divide by 12 or 15 to get a better idea as to how many power taps your particular track design requires.
If you get a variable power supply wired in, varying the voltage output to the track directly affects speed. The standard generally accepted voltage level is 18 volts. The more volts, the faster you go, the faster you come off the track!!
