Check out this writeup (http://www.slotcarillustrated.com/News/oxigen-digital-by-slot-it-a361.html )about Slot.It digital.  This is what I always had hoped would happen: radios in carrs.  At least that is what I think they are saying.  According to this info, you can set up the lane changing system in the track and leave it in whether you are running digital or analog.  Interesting.  I have not seen anything on it but from here.  It will be interesting to watch how it evolves.

Update: Checking the forum page, the have their first video of the racing (done within the last few days).  From the page, it looks like this system simply lets you race the cars as usual, but you can switch tracks.  You jump the power on each lane so it is powered at the voltage of the power supply, thus not limiting power for each car.  The controllers are wireless so you don’t have to worry about plugging in either.  It looks very cool; just what we were hoping for.  But, it doesn’t appear that it will be out anytime soon.  Next year at best.

   That is so cool. It would be perfect for our setup. We can basically add wireless controls to the track. It would also work when we redesign.
