Taking a look at the Difalco DD505, OS3 Lite and TruSpeed BPII controllers. These are all good upgrades over the stock controller that comes with your track.
@@marksslotcargarage thanks Mark is that a viper track that you have? If so how do you like it and do you run magnet cars on it like Neo magnet? Thanks.
Yes it is a Viper track, I love it. I can run up to level 35 Neo traction with Pro 10 motor magnets, that's as high as i will go, I don't have my rails fully glued down, anything stronger like level 52 Neo would pull my rails up. I have been thinking about gluing the rail in the near future.
@@marksslotcargarage thanks Mark for the feedback about your track. Was it your decision to install the rails as opposed to having Viper install them for you. And wow, those 52 level Neo magnets must be crazy strong.
@@user-ew1uz1uv3q I saved a lot doing the rails myself and I wanted the longest possible continuous rails sections as possible. If Viper did the rails I would have had a lot more sections to jumper together.
Thanks for covering this topic Mark I think it's often overlooked by content creators and really hard for those getting into the hobby to decide on it's nice to see all the hardware in one video .
The os3 would be a great replacement for your stock home track where the higher priced controler would be used for club racing or on comercial tracks, thanks mark
I don't personally like the Professor Motor controllers. I've used a 35 and a 42 Ohm and they were both super touchy. I have the Difalco DD500 and love it. It even works really good on my commercial 1/24 scale stuff. Thanks for the tip on TruSpeed, they were not on my radar before. For $90 I think I'd like to try one out.
Thanks for checking out my video, I really like my Difalco DD502 but the coast feature on my new OS3 All Pro is something I am learning to like. I was surprised how well I did with the TruSpeed when I got some laps in with it.
I run the professor motor controllers on my road course… I have so many mods done to them I hate to change them lmao 🤣… I installed sensitivity knob … it’s wired for full power relay and 8 position choke
Enjoyed your comparison my friend. What I like about Defalco, easier to gets parts and work on them. The TruSpeed BPII looks interesting, but I wonder about repair parts and cost of shipping? I got 4 Defalco DD500's with handles in lane colors for my track. Get you a DD531 Genesis HD30 controller. Electronic traction control/choke feature with on/off relay switch added to our DD521 model. That would be a better heads-up comparison to the OS3 Pro.
Thanks! Yeah I have 4 DiFalco DD505's as my house controller, they work perfectly fine for what I need. Shipping on the TruSpeed is $24 to Florida, puts the total at $113. It's still a pretty good deal considering the features you get.

Thanks and yes.
I finally got to watch! 😂 Soooooo what I'm hearing is we need to mix and match all 3 together into 1! 😂 Thanks for sharing the information! 😁👍🏁🏎
That would be a nice controller...lol Thx Scott!
@@marksslotcargarage Sooo now we need a banker who thinks like we do! 🤣👍💸💸💸
Nice Video. I love the Harry Potter cars!
Thanks Matt, the only problem with the Harry Potter cars is they don't fit under my timing bridge...lol

That does sound like a lot of mods, I don't blame you.

GEICO: 🦎 Did you know, 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on your Car Insurance? 😂
LOL, I think it was the Geico Gecko!
@@marksslotcargarageHe thought he could drum up some business, seeing all those tiny cars.
The way I drive I probably should get some insurance for my slot cars.... LOL

Hi there,got the DS I'll use it for awhile. Save for a DeFalco later 🥸
Yeah the DS is good but when I switched to the Difalco I was surprised how much better it was for me over the DS controllers.
