QUOTE (scalextricv8supercars.com @ 6 May 2011, 20:50) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>as i have a few parma economy contollers, as a cheaper option what do u think of the tru-speed digital kit sold by Pendleslotracing.co.uk....
Yeah thats a good question... I know nothing about these but looking at the picture from what i can see there is a multi point contact strip with each one "rated" by its own resistor...
The "track voltage" doesn't ever travel through a digital throttle... It just provides a 64 step resistance signal that is read by the APB... The "feel" you will get by fitting one of these will be much more parma like as you have the same spring and trigger travel... As to whether it is a linear resistance or a "modified" throttle curve i just can't say by looking at a picture... There is no detail on the truspeed website or on pendles either.
My advice... Buy one... Try it... at £16.50 its not a lot for what could be a great controller... If you don't like it well nothing ventured etc etc. If you have the "power" back by cleaning the rails then getting back to the parma's case and trigger will help things feel more familiar... Guess you won't use the Lane change/brake buttons being died in the wool analogue boy so may not be such a loss.... unless you get tempted by running more than 2 cars...
