@@RPMs that’s the plan at least. I’m trying to convince the guys i race with to start a viper v spec class… but they don’t really like the super fast cars.
🤣😅 Now thats funny! Yea Ive sent a car across the shop more than once. Did Defalco go out of business? Looks like their websites are dead and everything's out of stock. Also where did you get those wraps those are awesome I need some in zebra print. 🦓🏁 And why are there 3 knobs now?
Great video and information Roger I’m not the best driver but setting my controller to the car and track using the tips you mention certainly helps me. One cleaning tip you didn’t get into That Jim Difalco says doesn’t get done frequently enough by most was removing the handle and cleaning the brake and full throttle bypass contacts. They can get dirty pretty fast too.
So much involved with these little machines, fun stuff. My club just got a box of Professor controllers in. There are two clubs next to each other HO & 1/32 the other is a 1/24 wood track. I guess I have to find out which controller works best for both. I mostly use HO and 1/32
Hi Roger, love your videos. Quick question, what is the GRIT of the diamond lapping paper you used? The link you provided shows multiple grits. Lastly you mentioned the eye glass wipes but you didn't use them in your demonstrations, what are you using them for to clean the controller? Thanks!
I am surprised we are still using analog controllers. The circuits involved to make this digital are the size of a USB thumb drive. I wish the market was big enough to support that leap and technology. Think about it, everything else in our lives with analog with pots and resistors is gone, replaced by circuits.
I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone when it comes to choosing a controller...there is no one right answer. It's a very personal choice. It has to feel good in your hand, and you have to get the feel on track that you want. Only way to know is to try a few
I go back with Jim over 40 years. I remember when he started the company, building on a card table. He sure has come a long way!
That's awesome! Jim's a great guy, and has a great product! I'm sure he works on more than a card table now 😃
@RPMs - Roger Porcelli MotorSports lol...im sure.
Great explanation of the controller function and what makes the controller so personal. Especially liked the maintenance info.
I just ordered a Difalco DD531 this week. I’m planning on attending the 2022 HOPRA nats
Awesome! You'll have a great time!

Absolutely. I meant to mention it, and by the time I remembered I had missed it I was practically finished editing the video. Thanks for sharing!

Proper attire!

Very helpful! Thanks for posting

No problem
What grit is the diamond lapping film?
This is the one I use the most

Very informative my friend...

Great video. Next will you show how to fix holes in drywall? Lol, jk!
Oh boy, LOL!
Been about of racing for 15 years. GAVE AWAY ALL my stuff what controller do you recommend for a 70 year old man with good reflexes
I am 72, I use a 3rd eye as it is adaptable for all types of racing, 32nd & 24th
