  • I finally made the purchase of a new analog slot car controller and I landed on the Difalco DD302. We unbox it and discuss the features of this great controller. Too bad I don't have the ability to use my new DD302 on my track...wait.. that give me an idea...

    Yepp this is the one I told you about!
    Jim made one for Chris in Metallic Sage and mine is Electric Green. Chris has hers down from car to car. I frequently hear "stop playin' with you buttons" 😂
    Jim DeFalco is a LEGEND 🏁

    Strong brake gets stronger
    No brakes in motor is still no brakes.
    Cranked up 10 brakes with the right car stops on a dime.
    Smooth ball bearing trigger. Needs grommet for wire entry into grip....only beef.

    Marty you got the very customizable version. Great explanation of the traction control as well. I use this with a buddy in team racing at commercial tracks, we don't use traction control often, but the other settings and the controller overall is just killer! Plus, you can chip the ohms for different response. I use Professor Motor for standard and are the offering at HRP for all racers, but for outstanding control, you nailed it here. You said it, you can use it for anything! Great choice and glad you got it working too!

    You explained traction control perfectly - it just changes the mapping like the engine setting knob on newest cars and trucks. I was unaware there were controllers with such tech, looking forward to some demo videos of the unit you’ve bought

    Glad you finally got one! Now you'll have to come west and run it on a track. Jim Difalco makes some of the best controllers in the industry! I also ordered a DD304 from Mike at Cloverleaf. I got to use it and wow there's a huge difference from my DD300 (or DD301 I'm not 100% sure which one my first Difalco is).

    Very nice Marty. I had a newer dd301 and Jim told me what pieces to change and sold them to me. I now have a dd302 spec controller with minimal soldering. I dont have the controller in front of me but i believe if you keep the traction control knob counter clockwise all the way, then the traction control is not in play and will work like a dd301 just sensitivity and brake.
