In this eighth episode of My Favorite Parts, we take a look at HO Slot Car controllers. We will look at the overall differences of basic fixed ohm units as well as medium and top of the line transistorized units.

I'm scared of high end mega$$$ electronic controllers due to the desire to be able to run at any track voltage. This may no longer be an issue but used to hear horror stories about running a low ohm magnet car at 22 volts and frying a power transistor in the last few heats which leads to a $150 repair and shipping bill and no controller for a month.
In HO, I never have to fear a wire wound resistor burning up on me. It was possible to burn one up when I was running 1/24 scale wing cars because they can pull some outrageous current but that's a different story.
