READ ME FIRST
For all first-time racers, here are some essential tips to consider before you begin racing!
- How to control the speed level to maximize the performance of the car:
- Turn on the car’s power and place it on the track.
- Switch the handheld controller from “OFF” to either “D” (day mode) or “N” (night mode).
- Remember to switch it back to “OFF” when you’re done playing. The “trigger” on the handheld controller adjusts the car’s speed progressively, from low to high power (top speed = booster level). When you activate the top speed, the car’s headlights start blinking (whether you’re in day mode or night mode). However, there’s a “30-second” time limit for the booster. Once those 30 seconds are up, the headlights stop blinking, and the speed drops from the top booster level to a lower speed for “8 seconds” (So, deciding when to use the top speed becomes a strategic choice for racers). After those 8 seconds speed level freeze, the speed can go back to full booster speed. Before going full speed, try running the car at a lower speed for a few minutes.
- Tip: Once you’re comfortable with the trigger and different speed levels, unleash the top booster! Use it strategically to pass other racers or block them from overtaking. In summary, DMXSLOTS combines speed and strategy!
- Mastering Lane Changes for Passing and Overtaking Other Racers.
Steering Wheel:
The handheld controller has a steering wheel that turns the car left or right. It also has stoppers on both sides. When you turn the wheel, it automatically centers itself when you release it.
Mastering Lane Changes
Improve your skills for smoothly transitioning between lanes.
-
a) Slot-by-Slot Move: Turn the steering wheel to reach the stopper and quickly release it.
The car will move from one slot to another. This works for both left and right shifts. -
b) Move Several Slots at Once: Turn the steering wheel to the stopper position and hold it there. The car will move across multiple slots (left or right). Release the steering wheel when your car reaches the last slot on either side. If the car in front tries to block your passing move, you can switch to the opposite side. Remember, when your car reaches the last slot on either side, release the steering wheel and let it return to the center position. If you keep turning the steering wheel beyond the last slot, it can cause unnecessary friction between the pin and the track surface. Additionally, the turning base gear may get damaged in such a situation. This unique feature allows you to pass and overtake other racers with precise control. In summary, DMXSLOTS combines speed and strategy, taking the classic slot car game to a whole new level! Use the dmxslots car exclusively on the designated dmxslots track. Operating the car on any other surface may cause damage to the dmxslots car. When placing the car on the track, ensure that the car’s “pin” (diagram 1b) is securely inserted into the slot.
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
Vehicle
- Unscrew the battery compartment cover with a Phillips screwdriver to expose the battery box (diagram 1a).
- Install 2-AAA batteries with correct polarities as shown inside the battery compartment.
- Put the battery compartment cover back and secure it with a Phillips screwdriver.
- Turn power switch ON to start the vehicle.
Features of DMXSLOTS cars
DMXSLOTS cars have a patented rotating mechanism underneath each car with four pins that retract and protrude as the driver commands the car to move left or right. The car disengages its pin with one lane’s slot, move to one side or the other, and reinserts a pin in the new lane’s slot. A detail diagram (diagram 1, 1b) highlights all built-in features of the car.
Car Operation:
- Only use the cars when they are fully assembled.
- Do not open the inside cover of the car or the handheld controller housing.
- Adults should handle the assembly process.
Features
There are switches, buttons and key components you should pay attention to.
“ON/OFF” switch – turns the car’s power on and off
- Racing tires – a consumable parts that need extra car and attention (please read page 8, RFQ section)
- Rotation base – key components that need extra care and maintenance (please read page 8, RFQ section)
- Carid – In this package set, the default car ID is already set and printed on both the car and handheld controller (usually as 1, 2, and/or 3, 4).
PRECAUTION! DMXSLOTS CARS ARE DESIGNED TO BE USED ON DMXSLOTS’ TRACKS ONLY!
Note:
When you get a 2 cars or 4 cars package set, it’s already set up for car ID as 1, 2, and/or 3, 4 (depending on what’s in the package). The car ID number is already printed on the bottom of both the car set and the remote controller. If you want more cars to race together, you can buy additional car sets. In a race, you can use up to 15 cars’ ID, which means a total of 15 cars can race at once. You can purchase extra car sets from our online store at “www.dmxslots.com”. Also, we offer a lap counter set as an option in our online store-check it out for more details! The signal transmission is sensitive, so please set up your raceway in an obstacle-free area.
Handheld controller
(1) Unscrew the battery cover using a Phillips screwdriver to open it. (2) Insert 2 AAA batteries into the battery compartment, paying attention to the correct polarities as shown inside. (3) Securely put back the battery compartment cover and tighten it with a vehicle using the handled d controlled the vehicle is turned on. (5) Now you can control the There is a steering wheel on the handheld controller (diagram 2), you can turn it to clockwise or anti-clockwise to control the car to change lanes to the left or right.
Steering Wheel:
The handheld controller has a steering wheel (see diagram 2). You can use it to shift your car from one slot to another (left or right) for lane changes.
Reverse Button:
Press this button to make the car move backward. You might need this in the following situations:
- a) Car Jams – When cars are stuck and stopped on the track.
- b) Drifting Turns – During a turn, if your car drifts too much and ends up facing the wrong direction (here’s a trick: hold the reverse button and turn the steering wheel simultaneously to perform a 180-degree turn-it takes practice!).
- c) Emergency Stops – When you need to stop the car suddenly.
In summary, mastering these controls adds skill and strategy to your racing experience!
How to assemble and disassemble the DMXSLOTS track?
The DMXSLOTS track is designed for easy construction by users, allowing you to create your own exciting raceway. You can add track modules (such as straight and curved tracks) to enhance the fun of the game. The 3rd generation (G3) introduces a digital system operating at 2.4GHz. This system provides (a) Stable frequency for precise control; (b) Quick response time during game play; (c) Extended range compared to the G2 Infrared system. In an open area, the suggested length of a raceway of G3 is approximately 5 meters (about 16 feet) radius.
Refer to diagram 3 below for easy understanding:
The 2 or 4 cars package comes with 12 straight track modules and 12 curved track modules. They can be assembly or disassembled according to the below diagrams.
FAQs
Q: When my car drifts excessively on the curves of the raceway, it becomes too easy to execute a 180-degree turn!
A: The issue arises due to dust accumulation on the track surface, which then sticks to the tire surface. This reduced tire grip leads to excessive drifting during curves. To address this problem, ensure that both the track surface and the tire surface are thoroughly cleaned to restore optimal traction.
Q: Why can't the last piece of track attach to each other when creating my own style of raceway?
A : The track model was designed in a balanced format, with square shapes for the straight sections and 45-degree curves. To ensure that the last pieces of track attach to each other, use identical pieces of straight and curved track on both the left and right sides. This will allow them to lock together seamlessly. Refer to diagram 4 for visual guidance.
Q: How can I differentiate between the G3 and G4 car sets when they appear similar?
A: It's quite simple. Only the G3 car set is equipped with a reverse button that allows the car to move backward. For visual reference, please consult diagram 2
Q: Which model of car set supports the lap counting option?
A: Only the G3 car set can support the lap counter option. To simplify, the handheld controller with the reverse button is the one compatible with the lap counting device.
Q: Why can my car set move forward but cannot change lanes?
A: Most likely, if your car set is unable to move forward or change lanes, the issue may be due to a depleted battery. To resolve this, simply replace the battery with a new one, and your car should resume normal operation.
