Overview of the C8515 Easy Fit Digital Plug
The Scalextric C8515 Easy Fit Digital Plug makes it easy to convert a standard DPR Scalextric car to digital racing. Designed for most DPR cars produced from 2007 onward, the plug lets you switch to digital play with a simple screwdriver and a swap that takes less than a minute. This is a flexible option for upgrading an existing analog setup, helping you explore digital racing without a full rebuild.
Key benefits include a plug and play approach, portability between cars, and a smooth path into Scalextric Digital with two lanes and up to six cars on track. The C8515 is part of a broader upgrade ecosystem that includes a digital Powerbase, hand controllers, and lane change pieces, enabling you to tailor your digital system to your space and racing style.
How it fits into your Scalextric kit

For open wheel or single seat DPR cars, the C8516 is recommended for digital chip conversion, and non DPR cars can be upgraded with the C7005 chip. If you already own an analog set, you can upgrade incrementally rather than buying a complete digital starter.
