Jesla, I thought the way you do until I tried an adjustable controller on an oval. With a standard Parma 4 ohm controller I couldn't get off the trigger and back on it fast enough to keep from losing my momentum on the outer lanes. With the adjustable controller I could dial out about 8/10th of the brake and pickup at least 2/10 of a second per lap. Same with the sensitivity control, with a Parma 4 ohm controller and a low powered 1/32 scale motor it is close to an on/off switch. A good controller is worth the money even for home racing. Nothing like having someone new come over and they can't keep the car in the slot because the controller is to sensitive, they'll quit every time. It's like a new racer trying to run a car that won't handle, they get frustrated and quit. If you want to keep them around make it as easy as you can for them, a good controller set right and a good handling car and they'll have fun.

Look... he can get whatever from whoever. I can do the same with adjustable
PS for each lane and a potentiometer on the brakes.

Again Whatever..... Starting out you don't really need all the bells and whistles.

Why can't you guys just let him choose instead of making this about me?

Well it’s fun? :) just kidding.

I think it’s just guys sharing experiences. I have the bells, whistles, kitchen sink and I think a kiitenkaboodle of high end controllers. Given what was asked, I suggested the lowest cost PM. No need to drop big bucks when your just having fun at home. Unless you want to ring that bell:)

We hope you find the controller that works for you sir.
