*** Important - Lead Times For Controller Hookup Panels ***

Please keep the following points in mind when placing an order for controller hookup panels:

  • All panels are built-to-order based on your specific requirements.  We do not maintain an inventory of pre-fabricated panels.
  • All panels are hand fabricated one-at-a-time - they are NOT produced on an assembly line.
  • Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us.  While we could probably cut some corners to increase our production, doing so would also increase the risk of quality-related problems.  This is a risk we are unwilling to take - high quality and customer satisfaction go hand-in-hand.
  • Lead times to fabricate your panels will vary depending on our current backlog.  We will update this page regularly to give you an idea of the current lead time to fabricate a set of panels.  The estimated lead time is based on receipt of payment.  In general, the more lead time you can give us, the better.  Please plan your track wiring project accordingly.

Current Estimated Lead Time (February 12, 2012):    We are not accepting orders to fabricate driver's stations from our website at this time.  Please contact us directly for pricing and lead times.

PLEASE NOTE:  Because controller hookup panels are custom fabricated based on your requirements, all sales are final.  If you are unsure about which controller hookup panel is best suited to meet your requirements, please contact us before placing your order.

Enhanced Controller Hookup Panels

You've decided to upgrade your track's power supply, install power taps to ensure even power distribution and invest in some better controllers.  That's a good start - but what about connections for those controllers?  We offer by FAR the widest range of controller hookup panel configurations available anywhere.  The Enhanced Controller Hookup Panels offered here are designed with several requirements in mind.

  • Convenient Easy-to-Use Connections for Controllers - This is especially important if you host races or other racers bring their controllers when they stop by to run some laps with you.  All controller connections use standard color coding (black, white, red) to help ensure racer's connect controller wires properly each and every time.
  • Reliability - Only high-quality components and wire are used when fabricating the panels.  All components and wire are intentionally "over-engineered" to ensure the panels will stand up to years of racing with virtually no maintenance required.  All panels are thoroughly tested before they are shipped to you.
  • Flexible Configurations and Options - Slot Car Corner offers the widest range of controller hookup panels configurations available anywhere (and we continue to add new configurations regularly).  Whether you race H.O., 1/32 or 1/24, we have a controller hookup panel for you.  Don't see the panel configuration you're looking for?  Drop us an email with a description of the configuration you're looking for - chances are we can fabricate it for you.
  • Circuit Protection - Each lane's wiring should include circuit protection to prevent damage to controllers, track wiring, the track and racers.  Unless requested otherwise, all controller hookup panels include auto-resetting circuit protection devices for the brake/red and power/white circuits.  Note:  Auto-resetting circuit protection devices should NOT be used with power supplies rated at less than 10 amps continuous output (order panels with a fuse instead).
  • Selectable Lane Direction - Many of the enhanced controller hookup panel configurations also provide a convenient way to reverse lane directions with the flip of a switch.  This allows you to run your layout in both directions!  No rewiring or flipping track sections is required.  Works with all types of controllers (resistor, electronic).  It's like having a second track!!
  • Straightforward Installation - Installing and wiring controller hookup panels shouldn't require an electrical engineering degree.  Panels are typically mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface in the driver's station area.  Each panel is pre-wired to a heavy duty terminal block and includes a wiring template.  All mounting hardware for the panel and terminal block is included.  Track wiring gets connected to the panel via the terminal block (following the wiring template) using easy-to-use spade or ring terminals.  Complete wiring kits designed to simplify wiring the controller hookup panels to your track wiring are also available here.
  • Aesthetics and Durability - You've sweated every detail designing and constructing your track - shouldn't your controller hookup panels reflect this same attention to detail?  Controller hookup panels add a professional looking touch to any layout and are sure to impress your fellow racers.  The panels are available in your choice of eight (8) popular colors which can be coordinated with your track's lane colors.  Panels are CNC machined from a durable colored plastic - NO PAINTING is necessary.

In addition to the features described above, service and support are also an important consideration in your purchasing decision.  Simply put, we take a great deal of pride in our controller hookup panels (and all other products/services we offer) and are committed to providing top-notch customer service and support.  Should you have any questions about your panels or require service, contact us and you'll receive prompt attention.
