Switching from WinRBM
The modern WinRBM for Bepfe tracks
Many clubs have run WinRBM for years. SlotDash is the modern alternative and replaces it 1:1: the same settings, options and race modes, on the same Bepfe impulse electronics, in a modern design and for Windows 10 and 11.
What stays the same as in WinRBM
- All settings and options — nothing you know from WinRBM is missing
- All race modes: single, series, team series, head-to-head and qualifying runs, plus practice and timed practice
- Lap timing straight from the Bepfe electronics' impulse signal, 2 to 8 lanes
- Control of track power and start lights
What SlotDash adds
Live dashboard
Lap times, best time, last lap and gaps live — for a monitor or projector.
Start lights with random GO
Five red lights, then GO after a random hold of 2 to 5 seconds.
Automatic false-start penalty
Anyone who drives into the countdown loses track power at once — the standing time is built into the lap time.
Chaos mode & finish per lane
One button freezes the race; after the chequered flag each lane is cut individually.
Fully offline, no installation
Download, double-click, start racing. The licence can be activated offline too.
Manual and interface in five languages
German, English, Italian, Spanish and French.
Crash-proof resume
After a crash or power cut the race continues exactly where it stopped.
Driver changes & stints
In team races drivers change on the fly — with stint times and team standings per driver.
Which hardware?
Any slot car track with Bepfe impulse electronics, from 2 to 8 lanes. No track at hand? The built-in simulator lets you try SlotDash without one.
Manual →WinRBM replacement for Windows 11
A new race PC comes with Windows 11 today. SlotDash is built for current systems: it runs on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit recommended), with no installation and no admin rights, even straight from a USB stick. The interface runs in Edge, Chrome or Firefox; the Bepfe box is usually connected through a USB-to-serial adapter.
How to switch

Questions about switching
Can I keep using my Bepfe electronics?
Yes. SlotDash works with the same Bepfe impulse electronics as WinRBM, from 2 to 8 lanes. The box stays on the same connection; SlotDash searches all COM ports for it automatically. No new hardware is needed.
I need WinRBM on a new Windows 11 PC — what can I do?
SlotDash runs on Windows 10 and 11 with no installation. Copy the training trial to the new PC, connect the Bepfe box (usually through a USB-to-serial adapter with its driver installed) and start racing. The full version then unlocks races, results and management.
Can I try SlotDash alongside WinRBM?
Yes. SlotDash needs no installation and changes nothing in WinRBM. The two just cannot run at the same time, because only one program at a time can use the Bepfe box on the COM port. Without a track you can also test SlotDash with the built-in simulator.
Is SlotDash the official successor to WinRBM?
No. SlotDash is independent software by MaVaLab and has no official connection to Bepfe or WinRBM. Functionally, however, SlotDash is built as a successor: all the settings, options and race modes of WinRBM, on the same Bepfe electronics.
Can I import my WinRBM database?
There is currently no automatic import of WinRBM data. You set up drivers, cars, tracks and classes in SlotDash once; the Bepfe electronics and wiring stay as they are. SlotDash builds up best laps and records automatically from the first race night.
