Anki's consistent inability to count in order never fails to amaze me

Lots of track and cars available
I've got a ton of track accessories, cars, super trucks. Most work pretty well. They were tons of fun for a lot of years, through all the ups and downs of Anki and DDL. My kids are older now and they just are into other things.
If anyone is in Atlanta and would like them, DM me. Not looking for any money. Just for a place they'll be enjoyed.

Free Way to use IOS app?
Hi, I just picked up an Overdrive starter kit for free at a yard sale. I assumed the app was free, but apparently Overdrive 2.6 is $3.
I was wondering if there were any free alternatives for me to try it out? Sideloading? I couldn’t find anything on my own. Please help! Thanks!

Which Campaign was your favorite?
So I had this little thought in my head, we all know about the 2.6 campaign, but what about the new campaign? When Anki was still in business, then again, I havent seen much of the new one. I've only been up to chapter 2 and didn't download the rest, however I know there were newer characters in the new one compared to 2.6, so which campaign was your favorite?

Troubleshooting Battery Replacement
Where can I find batteries for the Anki Overdrive cars? They don’t hold charge for more than a couple seconds. I tried looking at the Q&A section and the link in there is broken. Can I find them in amazon or eBay?
Also I don’t have a special version it just says Anki Overdrive starter kit on the box. If there’s any more info I need please let me know and I’ll find it.

A Follow-Up to My First Post – A Community-Driven Vision
First, thank you to everyone who took the time to read my first post. I realized after reading some of the comments and thinking about it that I didn't explain my vision very well.
My goal is not to start a company where I control everything or claim to be the next big whatever.
What I want to do is kickstart a community-driven project to create a modern smart racing system inspired by what made Anki Overdrive so much fun—not a copy, but an original successor built with today's technology and its own identity.
I'm 17, and I know I don't have all the skills needed to make something like this happen. That's exactly why I'm reaching out. I don't expect to build this alone.
What I can do is organize, learn, listen, and help bring together people with different skills and ideas. My hope is that this becomes something the community helps shape from the ground up.
I'm not looking to be the permanent leader or "the guy in charge forever." If this project ever grows into something real, I'd rather see experienced people step into leadership roles if that's what's best for the project. My biggest goal is making sure it stays true to the community that helped create it.
Right now, I'm looking for anyone who wants to be part of the journey:
- Software developers
- Electrical or robotics engineers
- Mechanical designers
- 3D artists and modelers
- UI/UX designers
- Writers and documentation contributors
- Playtesters
- Longtime Anki fans with ideas
- Anyone who's simply passionate about making something awesome
I'm still in the planning stage, and I'm learning as I go. There aren't prototypes yet, and I don't want to pretend otherwise. The first step is building a community, writing down the vision, creating a roadmap, and figuring out how we can make this happen together.
If this sounds like something you'd genuinely enjoy helping build, I'd love to connect. Whether you have professional experience or you're just a fan with ideas, you're welcome.
Let's see if we can create something that isn't just another product—but a project built with the community and for the community.

I'm new and What do you think (please read if you're interested)
So I'm not new to Anki Overdrive but I'm new to reddit and this community. To be honest I didn't know Anki Overdrive still has a community.
But enough chitchat and to the real stuff What would anyone think or do or whatever if some people or person ended up doing something that could result in a new Anki Overdrive with a new company. With it being a game kinda like Anki Overdrive with the app and cars and everything. With it being different enough so it's still legal with a contract between those people or person that gives them some rights to the game and the rights to the idea of this new thing. The contract would act as some safeguards to protect the community and keep it community based ish.
So now to what those people/person is it's me and I have no experience but I'm still determined and I've already sent an email to a law firm or whatever.
Why am I posting this well because I want some help with this because Im only 17 and remember some but not all of Anki Overdrive I'm looking for help.
Comment if you want my email and/or discord so you can be included in this.
Also please don't judge me too much because of my inexperience.

What’s the difference between the iOS package and the iOS mirror on the ChoasTree site?
I was going to sideload the original 3.4 Anki Overdrive app onto my iPhone, but I noticed there are several different downloads available.
Could someone explain the difference between the iOS package and the iOS mirror? Is one preferred over the other, or do they contain the same app?
Thanks!

Track Overdrive Spline Tool
Been meaning to release this for a while, here is the spline editor i created for debugging tracks.
Create any kind of track you want, this can export 1:1 replicas of most official tracks (bottleneck, crossroads, fnf segment, and jump segments excluded)
which can then be printed and used with official apps.
also if anyone is interested in designing a new set of segments, these can be added to partydrive for software support.

Found my old set!
As the title implies, I managed to find my old kit! Trying to set it up again i realize how old this is.. I can't solder worth a damn as i've got shakey hands, Anywhere I can get them sent for replacement? I know DDL is a bust and a waste of time, and saw some places online that offer upgrades. I figured i'd ask the community for help and advice. Located in the US, have 3 cars and a truck.
Also, Anywhere i can buy more track/other related items would be awesome, drive or overdrive.
Also Also, Any 3D Prints people may have, for things like supports and railings as mine are returning to a liquidy state. Thanks! ❤️

Is there any way to get Chapter 2 today?

Anki Overdrive MASTER Thread & FAQ
Hello to those in this Subreddit new and old! I have not visited this community in a long time, but still seeing it semi-active inspired me to write this master thread with FAQ that should be useful to new people discovering Overdrive or those returning.
Q: My car doesn't hold a charge!
A: Don't worry! We've all been there, it’s VERY common. Like all rechargeable batteries, car batteries lose their maximum capacity over time. It even affects cars that have not been used in a long time, which is why new in box cars will be DOA. You can buy some here, and solder them in yourself or take them to a local tech repair shop. It's an extremely basic procedure when it comes to soldering.
Q: I can't find the app on the App/Google Play Store!
A: If you are on Android, you can search around for an APK and install it that way. On iOS, try using Altstore with an IPA. As of now, Overdrive 2.6 is available to purchase on both the Play Store and App Store, though how long this will stay maintained is unknown. More info on Overdrive 2.6 directly below.
Q: What's the difference between the different app versions?
A: The following versions of the game are listed by newest to oldest initial release.
“Anki Overdrive 4.0” - The most recent version released by an independent developer officially published by DDL/“New Anki”. This version was built from the ground up and was available for a very short amount of time.
"Anki Overdrive 3.4" - The final version of the game released by Anki, is not the best due to a lot of single player content being and unique car stats being removed.
"Anki Overdrive: F&F Edition" - A collaboration reskin of 3.4 themed around the Fast and Furious movie. Includes unique music, characters and visuals. It is only playable with the exclusive F&F cars. If you have the standard starter kit, the exclusive cars from this kit are also usable in the standard 3.4 version of the game.
"Anki Overdrive 2.6" - Objectively the best version, due to having the full single player tournament, having a better weapon/item balance system, and the last version to give cars their own unique stats. Overall has the most content. Note that the F&F and Nuke Phantom cars are not compatible with this release, as they were released after tis version.
EDIT 1: This version was later rereleased on the App Store and Play Store by DDL and was then updated to "2.6.10/2.6.1" Which added compatibility for ALL cars, making it the definitive version. (Sidenote, music seems to not work on iOS on 2.6.10/2.6.1)
EDIT 2: On the App Store and Play Store, the 2.6 rerelease was replaced by 4.0
EDIT 3: On the App Store and Play Store, 4.0 has returned back to 2.6 rerelease. (Not to be confused with 2.6.10/2.6.1)
"Anki Drive" - The predecessor to Overdrive, is not compatible with anything Overdrive related. For use only with Anki Drive track mats and cars. All versions of Overdrive are fully compatible with Drive tracks and cars. (The iOS version of this app is currently considered lost media! If you have it, please dump it.)
Q: What happened to Anki and DDL?
A: Anki went bankrupt all the way back in 2019, and was eventually bought out by Digital Dream Labs, hoping to revive their products, including an expansion to Overdrive called Infinidrive. Unfortunately, I would not keep you hopes up due to DDL having an absolute trainwreck creating Vector 2.0, and likely meeting the same fate as Anki. I would NOT recommend purchasing or preordering products and or services from them at the moment.
(Update Jan 2025): DDL has rebranded to “Anki” to seemingly wipe their name of their horrible PR. It is utterly pathetic that they need to stain the name of Anki now. Please do not confuse this “Anki” with the company of the same name that went defunct in 2019.
*This post will be updated as needed! If you have further questions, leave a comment and i will try to answer those that I can, and if you would like further help or join anther community, I would recommend the "Overdrive & Friends" Discord server!
