I only run my cars at home on a custom Carrera track that's painted. I use Slot.it SCP-2 controllers because they have a Ghost Mode that lets me run cars without holding the controller. I can also adjust the cars speed from the controller, without having to adjust the track power supply - I run at 10v, sometimes 12v. I also have a spare SCP-1.1 controller that uses the same cartridge as pictured, so I have a spare.

I have Third Eye Renegade 2's, one with choke and one without. I've had Professor Motor controllers and a couple of Difalco's but found the Third Eye works best for me.
Alligator clips but have been considering adding a XLR plug. Would need to have adaptors made when others connect to my track and when I connect my controller to other tracks.Last edited by Brad_T; February 14, 2021, 09:31 AM.Brad

Second hand Third Eye Predator 2 "Gawronski Edition" for Slot Rally, it was my main controller until I bought a Synapse V2.
I acquired a spare Synapse V2 when I swapped the last of my 1/12th r/c car stuff with a clubmate.
I have a Truspeed PWM2 as a spare that I haven't used for a couple of years since getting the Third Eye mentioned above.Kevan - Isle of Man

All Professor Motor diode controllers here 4 on the oval hard wired and 2 for the road course on alligator clips because they’ve been to the commercial track to run everything up to group 20s down the drag strip. Haven’t seen a car yet I can’t drive
I didn’t say properly but I can drive itDave

Day to day - a couple of Slot.it SCP 1s; or various Parma controllers.
For more "serious" racing - a MB Slot controller...
They are all wired the standard way here in Sydney- using an inverse of our domestic 240 v mains plug - HPM quick connect socket. So, no - you can't plug a controller into a power point.....
But it's a proven, efficient, fool proof set up. Really can't see the advantages of individual alligator connections myself....All the way from Sydney, Australia.......
Cheers, Tony.

When I was going to Louisville to race on the Blue King I was using a Professor Motor with sensitivity and braking pots. So were most others. Kept blowing fuses and brake pots. Changed to the commercial control with no pots. Most other guys did this before I did. Some are running Difalco. At home I now have a PM for Scaley.Arrold Martin

Use for what scale, with what motors and at what voltage? I do not know of any controller that is perfect for everything.

Slot.IT SCP2
no physical contact (wiper) to wear out
Runs analogue and can support common ground and vice versa
lots of tuning possible including curved braking
Runs high power motors with the SCP-Metal cartridge.
Runs oxigen digital with the slot.it oxigen cartridge
All of the important controls (throttle, braking, curves, sensitivities) remain the same between analogue and digital.
The downsides?
Designed for right handers.
ugly as sin (a crime for something designed in Italy)
