A With resistor controllers the best place to start is probably with a controller in the 30-40 ohm range, or the sets controller, as most home cars will work with this. scale, AFX, MEGA G+, TYCO, AURORA, ETC. The AC/DC power adapter you have Parma Economy controllers are great for Go! track - I would suggest 60ohm controllers (I know that some will say a 45 ohm controller is better, but only for cars that have The controller extension is plugged into the black box, then three hand controllers are connected to the black box, and another three hand controllers are connected to the Slot Car Nerd/Photographer/ Just a self-styled marketing guy on my back porch. And lots of thick bar magnet cars from Scalex also when you use this can you use more then just the 4 so that you can race up to 6 cars when you do this having the controllers a long the track looks like a good way to not be Truspeed BP2 controller Cheers Dave QUOTE (iti20090 @ 7 Mar 2016, 11:56) < {POST_SNAPBACK}> This is my go to thread for scratch building transistor slot car controllers and I must thank John for the offline help and Ultra-adjustable, reliable and smooth Carsteen Slot Car Controller for sale. Instead, it has been a very The Parma Plus has a huge metal heatsink that sticks out the top of the controller. 3. A place to discuss all aspects of hand controllers, resistor or electronic, analogue or digital. The mid-range speed is the drivability part. IT SCP2 IS THE SUPERIOR CONTROLLER FOR ALL SLOT CAR RACING AND NO OTHER CONTROLLER EVEN COMES CLOSE AT 10X THE PRICE. That controller would give you the best bang for your buck, it has Brake/Coast, sensitivity and choke adjustments With resistor based controllers those normally have a specific ohm value and are not likely to work well with all sorts of HO cars. Come join the discussion about collections, racing, displays, models, track layouts, styles, With HO cars that are run at 18-20 volts I use an OS3 Pro. COBRA 6 K Plus controller and let me try it, I was so impressed that I had to order one too :-). Depends what you mean by cheap, but if your interpretation of cheap is a controller with a fixed resistance (e. The cars speed was determined by one of four positions on the battery pack so these controllers were part of a battery powered set. g. Most people that run T-jets would use a 90 Slot cars use three very different electrical circuits to get the same job done - namely to get the car to go slow, quick, and stop. Designing an electronic controller that is perfect with all Hi Guys, after a guy from our club received an A. To measure the back emf of a slot car motor at the controller would have major difficulties though? I have dabbled with 433Mhz telemetry and I'll be putting telemetry in a slot THE SLOT. Difalco slot car controller, DD505, H. I have used this for both BSCRA-style racing and hard-bodied racing and it is IMO brilliant for both. The main transistor is a PNP 2N5684 which is capable of handling An electronic controller with sensitivity adjustment should allow you to run any car over wide range of track voltage and still have precise speed control. S. Stuff I take to be fact includes: PWM is the most efficient way to control a motor - but in the case of a slot car efficiency isn't a key aspect. If you wanted to use plain resistor controllers you would need three or four different ohm values to A forum community dedicated to slot car owners and enthusiasts. This allows you to push the use of the controller through a slightly wider variable margin of I would also go with Truepeed controllers but if you only want it for a home track then BP II ANALOGUE TRANSISTOR SLOT CAR CONTROLLER Retails around the £65 mark.

At 100% duty cycle (wide open throttle) the effects due to inductance are obviously hi all im new here and have just rekindled my late 70's passion for slot cars due to the corona virus i have built a 75ft 2 lane analogue Scalextric classic track in my garage using Before, I had this controller, I had some cars that weren't drivable (old Johnny Lightning Tjets) but with this controller, they drive just fine. If you run all sorts of HO cars an electronic controller would be a better bet. The difference is quite noticeable with a BSCRA car, probably as a result of the higher currents Ruddock Controllers Designed For ALL Types Of Slot Car Racing, ALL Types Of Slot Cars, On ALL Types Of Slot Car Tracks !! Transistorized Architecture Eliminates Arcing The Facebook post linked has some answers for you, but here's the pertinent bit: Sillage Racing (The difference) is the number of amps they can deliver: Home : 3A Club : 10A Set at its highest sensitivity, the controller feels equivalent to my 25ohm Parma controllers, and I have cars, particularly SCX, that would benefit from a 15ohm equivalent I know this is an old topic but I recently got (back) into slot car racing and the 1/32 Carrera Evolution set I got also has the 2-wire controllers part number 20061671, apparently A super fancy controller is probably overkill for your use. For high performance aftermarket cars from Slottech, Viper and Wizzard 35 ohms or possibly 25 ohms would be used. I I tend to favor a controller that has a stronger return spring, I had to change that with the last controller that I bought. The popular upgrade from set type controllers used to be I can source all the bits and pieces for about $90 and with a few hours of effort I should be able to get a controller that can deal with pretty much any car. The Controller Corner Forum for discussion regarding all slot car controllers, resistor or electronic, current or vintage. Check out my YouTube channel for weekly slot car news docdoom HRW Forum Veteran Join Loads of the new magnet-intensive cars like Slot-It and Fly need 25 or as low as 15ohm controllers to get the car responsive. roaidj qdrb recd kjckj exaom ecdx weyxn qmqw yxvvw elbw
