Difalco Controller Comparison

Comparing my base model Difalco DD505 to my higher end Difalco DD502 controller. Does the higher end controller yield better results?

    Thanks! The 505 is a great controller for the money, I am looking forward to comparing mine to the OS3 Lite that I should be getting today.

    That was interesting. I think you answered the question can you buy some performance with a controller. Yes, but its pricey. 👍👍😎🇺🇸

    Thanks Bill, yeah the gains with the high end controller were minimal and only really worth it for someone who does a lot of actual racing particularly at the club level.

    I had the DS 60-90-120 before I switched to my Difalco 505s. The DS is a nice upgrade over stock for sure, I think you will like it. I just needed a wider range of control so I went with the transistor controller with the sensitivity knob and never looked back.

    Maybe if you dialed in the traction control some more in conjunction with dialed in brakes you could squeeze more out of the DD502?

    Yeah, I am sure I could if I knew what I was doing...lol. Honestly I'm just never quick enough on the trigger to effectively use the brakes and when I try it seems to slow me down too much. Depending on the track I do dial in the traction control more. I actually prefer the choke and coast combo on my new OS3 controller to the traction control brakes on my Difalco, it seems to suit my driving style. I appreciate your feedback...thx.

    Really they restrict the type of controller you can use? I have never come across that here in FL at the clubs I race but we pretty strictly follow the HOPRA classes and rules.
