Description
My track is 54.57 feet of 1/32 2-lane Scalextric Classic road-course with five power taps. I am using Professor Motor HO & 1/32 Super Low End Sensitivity Model Electronic Slot Racing Controllers, 2043, with the low cost variable sensitivity system installed. I had been using two surplus paper shredder power bricks rated for 1.5 amps at 15 volts. Unregulated, they produce 22 volts with no load. I built a pair of voltage regulators, but I knew that when a high load was placed on the supplies the voltage was dropping below the setting I used most often, 18 volts. My track is wired directly to the rails using plug-in booster cables that Scalextric sells. I cut them in half and solder alligator clips to the ends. Then I have twin-lead wire for each lane with alligator clips on one end and several places where I have stripped the insulation and tinned the wire that I clip the booster cables to. So I have no power base.
