Hi all I have several controllers with variuos controlls ie brakes, sensitivity, traction control etc but would like to add a choke switch preferably on the wire cables so that I can quickly change the max voltage for a technical section of track. Ideally also with a dial to dial in the desired voltage for the switch to use (ie 9 or 10 volts).
Are there any parts that I should consider that I could get from the local electorinics shop.
Just finished putting by brake adjuster together, all looks good, would like to warn people that the 3a diodes are a little bigger than the 1a so they take a bit more work to keep tidy, something im not sure I've managed but im happy with it, cant wait to get to a track to test it now!!!
Also, this now leads me to the next bit, what is the best way of having adjustable sensitivity?
Any help is appreciated or a poke in the right direction!

ahhh, so I might have "off-half-none" over the first three clicks?? LOL oops. I am using anything from scaley standard to flat 6/scaleauto 21k
