| Controller Hookup Adapters and XLR Connectors |
| |
| If you're a solo racer who never hosts races or participates in
races hosted by others, you can probably get by without a controller
hookup adapter. For everyone else, there's a good chance you may
need a controller hookup adapter at some point to make your life a
little easier. If you visit other tracks to race, the controller
hookups may not match the connector on your controller. When you
host races, other racers may want to use their own controller but the
connector may not be compatible with your driver's stations.
Either way, Slot Car Corner can help - we offer a variety of
high-quality controller hookup adapters which are easy to use and take
up minimal space in your pit box. Our adapters are fabricated
using top-of-the-line components which will provide years and years of
trouble-free service. If you need an adapter which isn't shown
below, please send me an
email with your requirements. |

| Controller Hookup Adapter for Slot.It
Electronic Controller - Banana Plug to Alligator Clips |
| |
| The much anticipated Slot.It electronic controller has recently been
released. The controller lead wires are terminated with banana
plugs which are not widely used in North America. Fortunately it
is VERY EASY to convert the banana plugs to alligator clips which can
then be used with commercial style 3 post hookups. There are two
(2) versions of the kit - the only difference is the alligator clips.
One kit uses copper alligator clips for the best electrical connectivity
possible. The second kit uses more economical steel alligator
clips. The "seam" on the alligator clips is pre-soldered for you
to ensure the connection between the alligator clips and banana plugs on
the controller's lead wires do not loosen over time. There is also
a short how-to article which provides illustrated
step-by-step instruction on how to assemble the adapter. These
kits make fabricating the adapters VERY EASY (5 - 10 minutes). |
