Topic: wiring help

So I have placed an order for the scalextric 6 car powerbase from fantasy world, will that provide enough power or do I have to additionally add power to the track as well? I know a lot of tracks have special wiring so I am curious if this powerbase will be sufficient

Thanks

I know Scaley track will eventually show power loss through the track joints.  We usually figure about every 10-12 pieces you might want to have a jumper for the analog track but Flip can tell you better than I.

Can you run the jumper off the stock powerbase, mine being the 6 car
