I'm picking' up good vibrations with my slot car controller - Why doesn't everyone do this?

- This made such a difference to way the my hand controller felt. I don't know why everyone doesn't do it?

Thanks again for your detailed explanations!!! Congratulations !!!
Ive used braid and screwed it in place on the brass brake tab. It helps cushion the impact and stops the bouncing to a large degree.
That is a good idea. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Oh I always give mine a tug James
After getting back into slot cars and having a bunch of Parma Turbo's with pink resistors that failed due to corrosion, I'm curious if you'd mind posting a series about converting to electronic controllers, possibly building from scratch a controller like you are showing.
I happen to have a few electronic controllers, but 4 or 5 resistor controllers that are bad and I like the idea of being able to build a few DIY, so I can invite more friends to play at the track. If I could still buy orange Parma resistors, I would just do that, as they managed to last from the 80's until today, but all the pink resistors are broken and not easy to find.
Your tuning tips in this video were good and I will use one of the controllers I have as a test to see how it works for me. Good work!
Thanks!
Thank you for watching. I will be releasing some videos about some of the things you can do with electronic controllers but if you are building one in the first place, there is some really good information where about building electronic controllers:

Hi there !! - Is it transistor output powered or fully analog ?? - The main problem with transistored ones is the insulation btw the wiper arm and that cooper base wich makes the brake act. Insulation must be flawless .
This controller is transistorised. A single PNP transistor. You can see the basic circuit here:

Hello there !! - i figure it it was output trans. But i didnt know you guys use PNP. very cool. is it for neg. pol Tracks ?? - it use to be NPN for pos. polarity, however there are ways to also use PNP ones...Chers Rio / Brazil
@@ACCOUNTANTB , A lot of modern controller circuits use NPN or FETs now.
Tracks in the UK and ISRA switch the positive. The negative is permanently connected to ensure the electronic braking always works.
What size bearings are used in this controller CleaveTech ??? Nice informative video too.
Thank you. The bearings are 0.250" OD x 0.125" ID x 0.110" W
@@CleaveTech Now I know what to buy CleaveTech. You made it easy peasy, thanks. .
@@victoryfirst2878 , depending on your exact model and year of Controller you may need to add some washers or tube to space and sleeve the pivot, but the bearings should fit nicely in the plastic trigger part 👍🏻
@@CleaveTech Thanks Sir. Now I know the whole story for bearings for controllers.
