Again a very interesting episode 👍. It's becoming more and more like real car racing when you can control the 'throttle response' and 'brake balance' . New controllers are also my wish list...😉. Thanks for sharing this with us John.
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this episode! I am so pleased with these controllers and the additional enjoyment they bring to driving cars around our track! Thanks so much for your most valued support, I really appreciate it!
Ah what a welcome treat this morning, a new video from John! Man, it looks like you could reset satellite orbits with those PM controllers! Wishing you hours and hours and years and years of fun with your new devices. I know you will experience that of course. All the best and welcome back!
The PM controllers really make driving our track even more enjoyable and fun! Thanks so much for your continued and most valued support, I really appreciate it!
Wow, John! Great info as always, and it's great to see so many of your modeling triumphs on display! That layout is also superb - nice elevation, flow, etc.. I wouldn't have expected less, after seeing the great models you and your daughter were building a couple of years ago. It's really great to have folks like yourself promoting this hobby! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the fun , informational vids, i’m 56 years old and just got back in the slot cars less than a year ago and enjoying all the videos you guys have on here this is great thanks again look forward to the next ones.😊👍🏎️🏎️🏎️
I'm so pleased that these episodes are helping you re-discover our hobby! Remember that there is no bad way to enjoy this wonderful pastime! Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing, I really appreciate it!
Really happy you made the upgrade John. A variable voltage power supply, and upgraded controllers are the first things any slotter should buy. I always get a chuckle when I see the reaction when someone gets rid of the terrible Carrera "on-off" switches they call controllers. Wait until you decide to fiddle with the brakes! A whole new world will open up!
Thanks so much! This combination has really made driving our track even more fun! I agree that the "set" 'hand throttles' allow for improvement in controllers! Thanks so much for all of your very welcomed support!
Yes! The Parma controllers were a couple of steps up from touching two wires together to race the cars! Thanks so much for all of your very welcomed support!
I could not agree with you more! The Oilers just need some goaltending! Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing, I really appreciate it!
Adjustable power supply and great controllers like the Professor motor ones is a great upgrade to any track. I also have a pyramid power supply with Professor motor controllers on my 3 lane routed track. I added brake adjustme t to mine. Love them. Smooth and quiet!
i design and build my own analog (very similar to the prof. motor circuitry) transistorized electronic controllers. i call the sensitivity knob the "threshold" control. in practice, i set it as 'fast' as i can until i can just make it around the tightest turn on the track. that way, in the heat of battle, i have less trigger pull coming out of the corner to get to full throttle. @@FastSports-ScaleCarGarage
Great stuff John! I use Professor Motor controllers for my Policar track, and I love them. My controllers don't have adjustments, but they are still so much better than the stock controllers.
I could not agree with you more! Set controllers seem to be a couple of steps up from touching two wires together to get the cars around the track! Thanks so much for all of your very welcomed support!
Both are very good upgrades. What level do you have the voltage on the new supply set at? Is it similar to that of your old supply, say around 10 volts? Your track has many tight turns & corners. I doubt if you'll need less brakes on it. If the controllers were even used on a track with some long straights, you may want less brakes then. The combination of a variable PS & the electronic controllers now gives you the ability to run more powerful motors on your track if you wish. If you go that route, I would try varying the controller sensitivity before I changed track voltage. I bought a new PM controller to use on a local club/home track but I haven't used it yet. I have used the trackowner's PM controllers & they work great. Continue to have fun with your track.
Thanks so much! Yes the voltage is set right now at 10 Volts and seems to be quite well suited to our track! Yes more powerful motors can be run on our track now, even tempted tp try some '60s 1/24 scale cars soon! Thanks so much for your continued support I really appreciate it!
Technically I am not, however we all are if we are willing to be open to sharing our experiences. Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing, I really appreciate it!
Lookin good John! Nice to see your content showing in my feed again! All the best!

Great to see a new video, John. I always learn good things from you. PM controllers are a great addition. Enjoy!

About time John! Now that you have those you can come racing with us.
Yes, better late than never! Thanks so much for your continued support, I really appreciate it!
Ah the joys of 60s tech
Yes! The Parma controllers were a couple of steps up from touching two wires together to race the cars! Thanks so much for all of your very welcomed support!
Can’t go wrong with a PM controller. Great price and performance. ……unlike my oilers! Great job!
I could not agree with you more! The Oilers just need some goaltending! Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing, I really appreciate it!

John when I went to PM way back, I had the same reaction omg.
These controllers have made our track even more fun to drive! Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing I really appreciate it!
glad to see you again, John! about time some 'real' controllers! Lol
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this episode! Absolutely! Real controllers for sure!! Thanks so much for all of your very welcomed support!

Thank you! I will certainly give your threshold adjustment method a try!

much better low speed control
Yes, absolutely!

What specific Professor Motor Controller did you use?
These are the PMTR 2110 controller, low voltage, scale racer pro. I hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing!
Are you an educator John?
Technically I am not, however we all are if we are willing to be open to sharing our experiences. Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing, I really appreciate it!
