Thoughts...  it sounds like some of these cars need quite a bit of work to be competitive. 

Mitch, yes, the sp15b is the one I got as well.  If you have Tony's # give him a call.  Sent straight from Hornby in WA.

I'm thinking it will go in one of the Alfa's.  Or a Lancia.

Dan, Can Am or C Class?

The service from the DS factory is Alan at 132slotcar.us.  He has parts.  They are after all a European mfg while the rest are US companies.  I've had mine quite a while and the only issue I have seen is once when the trigger got sticky and wouldn't return all the way.  Thought at the moment I had lost the brake circuit but no.  So I haven't lost a brake circuit yet but neither do I use mine much with vintage 1:24 cars with old-style motors.

However I have run Enduro's of 50 minute heats using Scale Auto and BRM 1:24's with no issue at all.

They are also the only controller I know of with adjustable trigger tension.

It's quite possible they are not really rated for those motors hence the problem with the brake circuits

I find them an excellent controller for 1:32.

And I will say this, it's the fastest off the line controller I have ever had and I usually take off first in just about every heat.  Always nice to be in the lead for at least a few feet. 

And I'll remind you!

Thanks Bill, always a wonderful time.

I have a stack too, some way more powerful than slot car magnets.  Let me know if you still need more.

Looks like a great one for the F1 Vintage class.  Or is it the Classic Class?  One of 'em.

Mitch, I think he's planning to open early so it may be possible to avoid the horrors of the drive-time carnage.  Maybe DocDoom will chime in here.

Tires:

Fly Porsche 906
Fly Ferrari 250LM

It's my only two stock Fly's...

I'll be there!  Track looks great!

Are loaners available?  Do you have classes you race?  Tell us more.

If you can find them.  May be a problem with many of the cars beyond recently new.

Slot.It makes a kit for just this purpose.  Bushings, wheels, axles, gears.  highly recommended.

And thank you for brightening our day.  We had a great time and I thought Betty and Myrnn fit right in.  A few trips to the local tracks and they'll be running right in the thick of it.

How about some results!

The new Slot.it C Class got off to a rousing start and as suspected there was no car repair afterwards like there is with the Ninco's.  Here's the results:

3.  Monte - 46.1
4.  Al - 45.7
5.  Bill - 45.2

7.  Jeff - 44.3
8.  Amy - 44.2
9.  Victoria - 42.6
10.  Myron - 40.3
11. Betty - 39.2

And in the second set, it was IROC Slot.it's featuring two Alfa 33's and a Chaparral 2E (with the wing mostly).

1.  Monte - 47.0
2.  Goose - 46.9
3.  Jeff - 45.2
4.  Mitch - 45.0
5.  Tracy - 44.9
6.  Al - 43.0
7.  Victoria - 42.0
8.  Myron - 41.2
