Power?

My new layout uses the SCX Rally Chrono, SCX Chicane and Scaley Sport Track for the rest. I've noticed a reduction in power on certain bits of track.
Whats the best option to create a consistent voltage throught the whole track?

I've looked at the SCX and Sport Boost cables, would they work with SCX sport combination, if so how? Or are ther better options?

Please be aware I'm a total noob when it comes to electrics so keep it simple!


Thanks in advance.

Thanks I'll look into adding copper tape.

Thanks for all the wise words, I'll look at the methods that don't cost anything first and see how I get on.

Hopefully some maintance and cleaning will be all that's needed. Also a fresh pair of braids wouldn't go a miss.

I've not been on the forum for a while so I was surprised to see all the suggestions and comments, even if some of it is over my head. Thanks.


So far I've changed the braids on a couple of cars, cleaned up the track a little and that has made some improvement, however its still seems down on power to the Scalextric Sport power base I was using prior to getting the SCX Chrono.

I'm swaying toward the copper tape at the moment as it seems like it may give me the best results for my setup. I still need to check/crimp some of the joints but some of the track is fixed to the board using Scaley fixing clips so I'm loathed to pull it all up...........but I may have too.


Any recommendations on copper tape? (UK suppliers)
