Carrera 132 Driver Display, Position Tower

[@RickyFrench72]

I’m just starting my collection with carrera 132. I don’t find it necessary to have the driver display for fuel. I think it’s more fun and strategic to figure out how many laps you need to fuel. Like real racing in nascar you are guessing how many laps you can run before fueling. Makes racing a lot more exciting.

do you have to have a position tower to run the driver display?

[@ichambon75]

very nice video. Can you tell me if it is possible to have more than one driver display at the same time being using in the track? My idea is to have one drive displey per car to be possible all the drivers see the information at the same time without the needs to switch the car number using the front button of the driver display. thanks.

Is there a tutorial/setup for using 2 driver displays, one for each car on a track?

[@jonathansingh3932]

Thanks. Nice info on the display. Quick question, does the car stop when it's out of gas or can the driver continue racing. If it continues to race with no fuel, then what's the penalty ?

Hi completely new to slot cars - bought a brand new Carrera 132 digital set for my son this Christmas, we have four cars and four wireless controllers. Any time we start racing we have an issue where the control unit seems to go into a frenzy - all lights flashing, cars come to a stop - very frustrating. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything, I’ve tried with only a couple of cars, all cars, etc - all possible combinations - but it still keeps happening. As you can imagine not great when you have a 12yo kid that was extremely excited to begin with! Main unit is definitely pointing the right direction, same with lane changing track parts. When this happens the lights in the control unit seem to all go off, cycling through all lights for about 5 seconds, then lights in cars go back on and it lets you race again. Extremely annoying because it then seems to happen every few seconds. Hopefully something “easy” to sort?? All help much appreciated…

Might be the braids causing a short circuit. Are they neat and tidy?

[@tiagodecc]

@@willieloomis5958 in the end it was a faulty control unit, Carrera replaced it.

how many driver displays do you recommend per driver?

[@mmsolo5107]

While racing do you have to press the red button to see a particular drivers fuel levels?

[@CarreraUSA]

dantheman z the idea is that you have one for each driver. Think of them like a dashboard in a car.

[@mmsolo5107]

CarreraUSA Got it, thanks!

[@skizilla]

Can you place these little doo hickys anywhere on the track? or do they have to be near the control unit?

[@rexxthunder]

I'm having trouble with mine. The driver displays "1" never switches to the "1" without the "." behind it. The it just goes back to the dash and shows only throttle speed. Am I missing a step. I've definitely set up my car to controller 1. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@rexxthunder]

+rexxthunder Actually, looks like that was just the position indicator. It never switches to fuel mode for some reason. The car is in fuel mode, because it will flash when it runs out of gas.

[@QUICKLAPS]

@@rexxthunder i have the same issue did you get yours sorted?

[@rexxthunder]

@@QUICKLAPS Sorry, it's been so long I don't remember.

[@CarreraUSA]

Yes, ideally you should have one per driver on the track.

[@CarreraUSA]

Yes you can use more than one drivers display around the track. You should have at least one drivers display per driver.

its sad that after years carrera still dosent know how popular drag racing is.i dont see any features to drag race ? and to see a finish light for the winner of the drag race .the ho sets are very realistic and continue to sell out .they have the correct start and finish lights even which lane won in the close races .i can see maybe you could start a drag race but the finish would not be realistic unless im missing some information thanks

There are apps for driver display now days. So much cheaper and better
