Operation Guide:

• The controller works in the same way as the original ones supplied by Carrera.
• The Brakes are applied normally when the trigger is released, but the optional Brake button applies the brake regardless of the trigger position.
• You can adjust the sensitivity and feel of the controller, even while you drive. Turn the sensitivity clockwise for more aggressive trigger action.
• Trigger spring tension is adjusted using the small screw just under the trigger. This operates a little cam that pulls the spring to change the tension. You can see it work through the clear handle casings.
• Single or double finger trigger sections are easily changed without opening the controller. Simply slide the finger sections on and off along the specially shaped sections on the trigger body. The finger section moves away and slightly upward. The little M2 Grub screw is used in case you want to lock the finger sections in place.

TruSpeed Slot Car Controllers - for serious racers

Designed and built in the UK by Steve Hills.

TruSpeed was established by Steve Hills because he could not find a slot car controller with settings that could be customised to suit his driving style. Steve is a very keen slot car racer, and as he raced different slot cars, on different tracks, he realised that a one-size-fits-all slot car controller was not good enough.

Steve worked for many years in the audio industry and is the designer of the modern Bozak range of products.
He applied this design skill to his passion for slot car racing and TruSpeed was born.

Maintenance Tips:

Once you feel a scratchy operation or can hear squeaking then it is advisable to clean it.

1. Apply a small amount of the lighter fluid, or switch cleaner/lubricant, onto a cotton bud.
2. Through the air flow slots in the casing, gently wipe over the contacts on the board.

Be sure not to bend the cable at the exit of the handle. The wiring will break from metal fatigue after a while and cause intermittent operation. Wind the cable into a gentle coil and it will last.
