⚡ Carrera 20585 Additional Supply Power Tap For Carrera Digital 132/124 & Evolution Analog Tracks Reliable Power Where You Need It Most. The official Carrera 20585 Power Tap Kit is a simple, effective way to boost power delivery across larger layouts. If you're running a track over 25 feet long—or using multiple digital cars and high-draw motors—this is an essential upgrade to maintain speed, response, and performance. 🧰 Kit Includes: 32 feet (10 meters) of ultra-thin, flat copper wire Connection clips for one power tap location 🔧 Why Flat Wire? Flat wire lays flush on your layout surface—ideal for above-table installations. No drilling, no bumps. Just clean routing and hassle-free placement. By contrast, round wire taps are best suited for under-table installs that require more time and planning. Flat wire keeps your build simple and tidy. ⚙️ Why Use Power Taps? Carrera track rails are steel—not copper—which leads to voltage drop as current travels through joints and long stretches of rail. The result? Sluggish acceleration, delayed controller input, and unreliable lane changers or pit stops. Adding power taps ensures full, consistent voltage across your entire layout by redistributing power from your Control Unit (CU), Emulator, or OmniSlotBox system. 🔌 Installation Tips: Add a tap every 12 track sections for best results Place taps near lane changers and accessories Insert clips into center square holes under the track (not end tabs) Match wire colors consistently to avoid rail reversal or shorts Secure wire using insulated staples or cable clips underneath your layout ⚡ Compatibility: OmniSlotBox Emulator – Tap from the CU section rails OmniSlotBox or OSB XMR – Connect directly to labeled rail outputs (1–4) 📦 Shipping & Returns Shipping is based on actual weight and destination, calculated automatically at checkout.
