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 if 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 standup to a 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 panel
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 me an
email with a description of the configuration you're looking for
- chances are I can fabricate it for you.
·
Circuit Protection. Each lane’s wiring should
include circuit protection to prevent damage to controllers, track
wiring, the track itself and racers. Unless requested otherwise, all
controller hookup panels include auto-resetting circuit protection
devices for the brake/red circuit (1.8 amps) and power/white circuit (2.5
amps). 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.
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 are 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 five (5)
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 requirements described above, service and support
are also an important consideration in your purchasing decision.
Simply put, I take a great deal of pride in my controller hookup panels
(and all other products/services I offer) and am committed to providing
top-notch customer service and support. Should you have any
questions about your panels or require service, contact me and you'll
receive prompt attention. |

| Enhanced Controller Hookup Panels with XLR
Connector |
| |
| My personal favorite - these panels have all of the same great features as the Enhanced
Controller Hookup Panels described above PLUS an XLR connector.
XLR connectors offer several advantages over traditional alligator clip
hookups - they are easy-to-use, fast and virtually foolproof.

features a panel mounted 25 ohm potentiometer - this is the same rating
used by many aftermarket 1/32 controllers with a variable brake
adjustment feature. Fully compatible with controllers which
already have a variable brake adjustment feature. Colors Available:
Red and white as shown below. Blue, yellow and green also available (not

Configurations |

I've done for Customers. If you don't see what you're looking for,
please be sure to drop me a line. |
| |
| |
| Enhanced Controller Hookup Panels - FSMRA |
Designed specifically for FSMRA (Fubar Scale Model Racing
Association) H.O. tracks, these panels feature commercial style 3 post
hookups, dual fuse holders and a heavy duty lane reversing switch with a
special "bat" (see accompanying picture). The bat must be pulled upward before the bat can be
flipped in the other direction - this prevents racers from
"accidentally" flipping the switch while racing or during lane changes. Also available with standard
(non-locking) lane reversing switch upon request. |
| |
| Note: Standard colors are blue, red, yellow, green,
black
and white. Non-standard colors (orange, purple) are also
available; however, there is an additional $5.00 charge for painting. |
