Yep, you will need 2x 6-pin chips for it if you want the lights both ends to work correctly  :thumbsup:

I've had 2x blue/grey 2-car units since they first came out and not had a problem yet  :)

Err . . . . no!!  ;D

As for chips it's down to personal choice as always. I always use TCS chips (EUN651 is the 6-pin plug-in variety) but I dare say cheaper alternatves may prove just as good  ;)

On my 2 car Blue Grey 108 power car the body shell was glued on to the chassis and in removing it I also removed some of the details underneath. I have no idea why it was glued on as it was brand new! Just be careful...
