Ok so I built my oval. Sold my artin 4 lane and went carrera.... Well it's two lanes for now but will be 4 lanes here in a few weeks. But the problem is the cars make right turns. How do I switch directions?

Thanks in advance.

Just reverse the power connections at the terminal. You are using the power base until you hardwire correct?

Your transformer terminal should look like this?

You mean you are using a Professor Motor power supply. Are you still using the original power base and using the connectors like in the photo?

Does the car run by itself just placing it on the track?

You are going to hardwire anyway when you go 4 lanes correct?

I was going to buy the carrera 4 lane adapter. And run 2 power units so i can turn down 2 lanes for the kids.

Its weird cause when i reverse the leads one lane runs fine but other takes of all crazy.

You can pop off the back and swap the wires at the rails.

But I would make better driver stations. Very easy to make and you can still make 2 of them separate.

You are probably using a digital black box with analog cars... you need another type of blackbox or you need to install digital chip in your cars !

On Carrera cars, there is a switch under them...just to flip it gives you the choice of directions.
