Item Description
|
Nice TYCO or Mattel Speed Controllers. These TWO (2) Controllers, will work on just about every Electric Slot Race Car set TYCO or Mattel ever made. GREAT to be able to CONTROL EACH LANES MAXIMUM SPEED!****NOTE: 3-SPEED CONTROLLERS ARE MADE FOR 4 OR 6 D-CELL BATTERY BOX, RACE SETS. They are intended to run on around 4-8 volts of input. When they are connected to a typical transformer (12-24V) they act more like an on/off switch, rather than to control a range of speeds. Also, under a transformer load, their life will be dramatically decreased & may quickly burn out.
Please ALWAYS USE A SURGE PROTECTOR GROUND FAULT FOR ANY POWER SUPPLIES.
Using a BATTERY BOX for a power source is cool though! It allows the track to literally go anywhere, typical slot cars will run just fine, albeit slower, & cars & pickup shoes will last much longer due to the reduced friction. On any TYCO/Mattel race set up, you could put the BATTERY BOX ON ONE LANE & AC VOLTAGE ON THE OTHER. Simply use two terminal tracks any where you'd like. Plug a transformer & typical controller into one & plug a battery power box & a 3-speed controller into the opposite lane, of the second terminal track. Also they work well to break in motors by setting up a short oval & letting a new car go around for awhile.
