This is probably a really daft question but I am very ignorant when it comes to things electrical. What is the little brown / orange thing between the connections on a slot car motor? I guess it is a resistor or capacitor, but why is it there and what difference does it make if it is removed?

Inte is your neighbour?


There I was thinking you were Inte. Or rather, Inte was Baz. Or do I mean....

Anyhoo, my SCX Corollo (sic) certainly slowed down when the brown thingie blew.

Raw nerve?

Only joshing with you Inte/Baz. Lord knows, I used to playaround with multiple IDs. I think I have two here as well.
