Has anyone experience of building and using rolling roads for slot cars?
I've built two to date and wondered if anyone else has taken this approach to optimising their competitive club track slot cars?
Any feedback that might help me improve these units would be welcome
Below is a blog link which has links to photos etc.

Looks pretty good to me. I have one of the tamiya unit but I still need to mod it.

I've never seen a commercially available unit. Any chance of posting some pics?

Mine is still in its stock box.

But you can look at one over here: http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7582

I can't find any details regarding the tamiya unit.
I can see it has a speed rating on the display but are there any other read outs? ( voltage / amps etc.)

AFAIK there is only speed read rating. Which is a pity because I would have liked to have RPM read outs at the wheel.

Also no voltage/amps read outs are available because this unit is meant to work with the mini 4wd, which have their own batteries for power.

Have a search for a kelvin light test bench - expensive if you can locate one
