Great video.Learning at 65 years young.

Great source of info!!!!!!

As always marc great info on the controllers. I saw on your last video about the BDR chassis someone had commented on you picking up a jag NC2 and doing a review on it. Pick one up if you haven’t already honestly they are an awesome chassis and they come in a “L” variety of flavors. And stock run with the best of them. Again keep up the great work.

Great information. I am finally thinking about having my own track. The town where I live had a track that I would go to around 20 years ago, unfortunately I can't find any near by now.

Good information my friend thank you

Thanks to Elyse at AFX for the following information: They have not tested the compatibility of AFX power packs or controllers plugging in to the Auto World terminal track. However, you CAN connect an AFX terminal track to Auto World track and use the AFX power pack and controllers.

Great video. Love my DS controllers . Hoping AFX will restock the dual power terminal track again.

Great video. I'm looking for 120 ohm controllers for my 7-yr old and his friends to run some Mega G+ cars, because we wore out 3 of the 4 of the AFX controllers in about a year. I don't want to spend a lot, so I've been thinking about the DS 120's. I wired my track to use XLR plugs, which work great, but I have to solder plugs to the controllers, so I want to get something that will hold up. I did buy a complete IROC set of OS3 Ho Lite electronic controllers that run everything, for about $70 a piece. Not the most expensive, but I'm also not handing those to 7-yr old maniacs (haha). Hence my interest in the DS. The OS3's are amazing.

I read somewhere that motors are rated to use certain voltages and that running at low voltages cause the motor to draw more amps and thus heat up the motor to a point where it can damage or burn it out .???

gute tips 👍 danke und Grüße Hubert

Very nice

Cool

I add a huge capacitor on each lane to keep the amps/current high.

well, about a half hour ago i found out you cant use a new bright rc battery charger (24v dc) to power your track. melted the plug area for the remotes on my brand new track. time to spend another 30$ on a new power track

Question - when you use the Track Mate power supply and tap it into the four separate tracks - aren't you running all four tracks similar to how the AFX single terminal is running two lanes of the same power supply - where if one car goes off the track it impacts those remaining?

Great info here, thanks for posting. Question please: if I want to run 4 lanes with Trak Mate or similar regulated power supply, would I wire 4 pair of wires from the power supply to each individual track (on the terminal track) or is there a better way? Thanks!

So for a newbie just using a vintage Tyco track with sick cars, a 45ohm controller should be a nice upgrade for better control? Thanks

Not sure how old you are, or if you're familiar with vintage controllers. I raced HO back in the mid to late 1960's; used a Russkit greenish blue controller for the hot cars, but it was really for 1:24 cars. Still, it was easy enough to feather the trigger to run all the HO cars of that era. About six months after I had purchased that one, Aurora came out with a very similar sized one ( for adult hands) in clear red plastic, which I suppose had higher ohms. My question, is did one of these companies buy out Russkit? And which controller would be the closest in 'fit'? The Parma has the right trigger, but the DS seems larger (since I now have adult giant hands XL size gloves). Just wondering if the Parma has longer trigger travel than the DS, too.

I have a couple orange parma controllers. If I remember correctly they are something like 35omh controllers. Do you or anyone else know what cars would work best with them. I have not put a connector on them yet as I am still building a fold up wall table, 3x14. I forgot how fun these are to build. I haven't had these sets out since my boys were young, probably around 1994. We have about 40 cars of all kinds. We always just ran afx tomy stock controllers until now.

All my ho cars fly off the track using one magnet.

Will the AFX Tri-power pack work on the Auto World Track? My AW is only 16v. I still have my cars but no track and I couldn't resist and bought two sets for $44 each, cars were stolen. Will the AFX Computer challenge ( Ghost car) connect with AW track? I will use the two terminals both power packs

I have tjet and magna- traction cars on a model motoring track. Which controller is best suitable for my set-up?

Is a parma 4 ohm suitable to run a parma outlaw t flexi

What type of commercial controller should I buy to run all slot car scales at the hobby store?

Wait... where's the tiny plastic steering wheel???

Someone needs to make a wireless controller conversion for the masses for these HO/AFX/Autoworld/Racemasters tracks...
