Budget Controllers

Taking a look at the Difalco DD505, OS3 Lite and TruSpeed BPII controllers. These are all good upgrades over the stock controller that comes with your track.

    Yes it is a Viper track, I love it. I can run up to level 35 Neo traction with Pro 10 motor magnets, that's as high as i will go, I don't have my rails fully glued down, anything stronger like level 52 Neo would pull my rails up. I have been thinking about gluing the rail in the near future.

    @@user-ew1uz1uv3q I saved a lot doing the rails myself and I wanted the longest possible continuous rails sections as possible. If Viper did the rails I would have had a lot more sections to jumper together.

    I don't personally like the Professor Motor controllers. I've used a 35 and a 42 Ohm and they were both super touchy. I have the Difalco DD500 and love it. It even works really good on my commercial 1/24 scale stuff. Thanks for the tip on TruSpeed, they were not on my radar before. For $90 I think I'd like to try one out.

    Thanks for checking out my video, I really like my Difalco DD502 but the coast feature on my new OS3 All Pro is something I am learning to like. I was surprised how well I did with the TruSpeed when I got some laps in with it.

  • @MyFlash43

    Enjoyed your comparison my friend. What I like about Defalco, easier to gets parts and work on them. The TruSpeed BPII looks interesting, but I wonder about repair parts and cost of shipping? I got 4 Defalco DD500's with handles in lane colors for my track. Get you a DD531 Genesis HD30 controller. Electronic traction control/choke feature with on/off relay switch added to our DD521 model. That would be a better heads-up comparison to the OS3 Pro.

    Thanks! Yeah I have 4 DiFalco DD505's as my house controller, they work perfectly fine for what I need. Shipping on the TruSpeed is $24 to Florida, puts the total at $113. It's still a pretty good deal considering the features you get.
