One of the big problems guys face in advancing in the hobby has always been getting a good controller. The price is usually always the barrier. Current units from DR, Lucky Bob’s, DiFalco, and 3 rd Eye are in excess of $225.00. One is even above the $300.00 mark. If you race a wide variety of slot cars we have multiple range controllers which, with the simple flick of a switch, can change the resistance of the controller to offer better response. DS 120 OHM – Made especially for us. This 120 ohm controller has a resistor board instead of a wire wound resistor for smoother operation. BP 1 Transistor Slot Car Controller Kit.

One of the big problems guys face in advancing in the hobby has always been getting a good controller. The price is usually always the barrier. Current units from DR, Lucky Bob’s, DiFalco, and 3^rd Eye are in excess of $225.00. One is even above the $300.00 mark.

Some other popular brands don’t have that ability. It is highly frustrating. As an example: If a car needs a lot of sensitivity, then the circuit puts too much power into the brake/coast pot. Switching on that pot can cause the car to screech to a halt or have so much coast that if runs around on the track with no trigger input.

Ho Slot Car Controller Reviews

Full Power Kill Switch - With the switch in the Kill position, the Full Power post is not powered. Full Power will be set to the Choked value. If the Choke setting is at Min, the output voltage at full pull will be about 1-1.5V below track voltage. Increasing the Choke will reduce that power further. This is useful when running cars too sensitive for full track voltage ie. Brass Cars. It is also useful for lowering the power for new drivers. In the Full Power position, full track voltage is available at full trigger pull. There is no indicator to distinguish each position since the power running any LED would act as Coast power when the trigger is released. With a car on the track it is easy to test if the car increases speed when reaching the Full Power trigger position. The switch is well tucked in. Once set it will stay and does not need to be checked during use.

When you first pick up the OS3 HO ALL Pro, it is apparent that it is a quality, well thought out and constructed controller. Jerry's design uses a compact arrangement of control pots that are not hung out there in outer space like some units. All components are inside the handle or just above.

The current convention with most other competing designs is that the transistor is located on a big, bulky, heavy, cloddy, clunky heat sink hanging from the power wires below the controller handle. All of that is now incorporated into the handle of the Stage 3T. The only thing outside of the handle on the power wires is a small fixture for the fuse.

The short story is that the OS3 HO ALL Pro ran ALL of my pro magnet cars as fast as or faster than my DR controller. That includes: Ceramic Pro Super Stock, Club Stock Level 4 cars, 3 ohm Ceramic Level 25, Restricted Open, and Drop-In Neo.

For racers that want to be able to dail up enough coast to 'auto roll' a car , the OS3 HO ALL Pro's circuit can handle that.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PARMA STOPPED DIDN’T MAKE ECONOMY CONTROLLERS FOR OVER TWO YEARS. While they have recently resumed production of their Economy wire wrapped ceramic resistor controllers at this time I have decided not to carry them for the following reason. They have raised the price of their lower quality Econo controllers to $39.99 directly against the higher quality (smooth resistor board, longer heavier duty wire) DS controllers. At this time I have DS controllers available. I also have Parma HO Plus controllers. See the descriptions below. Supply is limited.I now have DS controllers in 45, 55 and 120 ohm ratings, The DS controllers come with a longer wire and three wire open leads. You can install alligator clips at additional cost or you can splice in the connector of your choice on your own. I am again making DS controllers in multiple ohm ranges. For example a 35, 45,55 ohm DS would be $59.95 as is a 35/45/55 ohm unit as is a 120/90/60 ohm unit.

The job of the controller is to feed power to the car in direct proportion to how much the trigger is squeezed. A good match produces response throughout the range of the controller. A bad match can produce a soft response, i.e., you squeeze the controller and the car does not respond until the trigger is 1/3 to ½ way down the resistor. Here the resistor has too high a rating for the car it is trying to control. Equally undesirable is a ‘fast’ controller response, here the car takes off like a shot when the trigger is pulled back lightly. This is due to a resistor with too low an ohm rating for the car you are trying to control. Whether you use a controller with a resistor or an electronic controller (no resistor, but uses various electronics to control voltage to the track) you want a controller that is a good match to your cars requirements. Below are various resistor and electronic controllers with an explanation of the best application for that controller. DS controllers are available in green, yellow, orange, black, clear, purple,red or blue. All colors are not always in stock, please specify and have a second choice in mind.Note: I now have JG’s Comfort grips (see below) available for Parma, DS, DiFalco, Russkit and Professor Motor controllers.

DS 120 OHM –Made especially for us. This 120 ohm controller has a resistor board instead of a wire wound resistor for smoother operation. The new Tomy Mega G+ call for a 120 ohm controller and this is the answer. Works well with Aurora t-jets on a technical (tight/twisty) track as well. Comes with three wire open leads. Available colors yellow, green, orange and blue. $39.99

These single resistor value controllers are sometimes available with booted alligator clips installed $49.99 -call for availability 908-322-2676. You may also buy the set of three booted clips separately and install them your self $6.00 set.

This is the multiple range 35/45/55 ohm controller. Covers Wizzard Storm Extreme stock and lightly modified Tyco 440’s, Super G+, Aurora AFX and Auto World Xtraction. Available colors yellow, green, orange and blue. Comes with three wire open leads.( also good for unmodified versions of the above as well as Thunder jet 500’s and most stock t-jets (55 ohm) in general use. For extensive t-jet use higher ohmage controllers are recommended. Available colors yellow, green, orange and blue. Comes with three wire open leads. $62.99

NOW AVAILABLE WITH BOOTED ALLIGATOR CLIPS INSTALLED $72.99

DS 120/90/60 ohm are best for Tomy Mega G+ (120 ohm) as well as Aurora and Auto World Thunderjets (higher ohms on technical tracks, lower ohms on faster tracks).Available colors yellow, green, orange and blue. Comes with three wire open leads. $62.99
