Durable, smooth electronic control designed specifically for house, rental, club and guest use.

TheProfessor Motor HO & 1/32 Rental Controlleris a straightforward transistor-based analog controller built for home tracks, clubs, commercial raceways, rental fleets and guest drivers.

It provides the smooth control and broad operating range of Professor Motor'sPlatinum Series transistor technologywithout the additional adjustments found on more expensive competition controllers.

We think of it as an excellenthouse controller: simple enough to hand to a first-time racer, durable enough for frequent shared use, and capable enough that experienced drivers can still enjoy using it.

This standard version is supplied withcolor-coded alligator clipsfor traditional commercial, club and home-track connections.

Built to Be a House Controller

Not every controller needs a collection of adjustment knobs.

For a club, home track or commercial raceway, a house controller needs to bepredictable, durable, easy to use and capable of surviving inexperienced hands.

The Professor Motor Rental model was designed with exactly that sort of service in mind. Its transistor electronics provide smooth control without requiring racers to understand sensitivity or brake adjustments before they can enjoy driving.

A Wider "Sweet Spot" Than Traditional Resistor Controllers

One of the things we particularly like about Professor Motor transistor controllers is theirbroad usable response range.

Traditional resistor controllers, such as the classic Parma Turbo, depend heavily on matching the controller's resistance to the motor and track voltage. The right resistance can feel excellent, but change the motor or voltage and the same controller may suddenly feeltoo touchy or too sluggish.

The Professor Motor transistor design is much less dependent on that narrow resistance match. As a result, one controller can provide comfortable, progressive throttle control across awider range of motor types and track voltages.

We think of this as having a wider"sweet spot."It doesn't mean every car will feel identical, but you're much less likely to need a different controller simply because you changed cars, motors or track voltage.

This is particularly valuable forhouse, club and rental controllers, where the same controller may be used with many different cars during a race day.

Direct Wired Analog Response

This is awired analog controller, so throttle changes are applied directly through the track's analog power circuit without the command processing or wireless communication required by digital and wireless control systems.

For racers who appreciate immediate and predictable response, this direct connection remains one of the advantages of wired analog racing.

Dual Circuit-Breaker Protection

Guest and rental controllers inevitably experience things that carefully maintained personal controllers don't.

This model incorporates adual circuit-breaker protection systemto provide additional robustness against accidental misconnection and electrical problems.

That makes it particularly attractive for club tracks, rental fleets, parties, introductory racing and installations where controllers will be used by many different drivers.

Alligator Clips & Other Connection Options

This controller is supplied withcolor-coded alligator clipsfor connection to compatible commercial, club and home track terminals.

We also offer a separately listedXLR-equipped versionfor fast, secure connection to OmniSlotBox systems and other XLR-equipped tracks.

Connector installation services, adapters and controller ID sticker kits are also listed separately in this category, making it easy to configure your controller for the tracks where you race.

Distinctive Rental Handles

Professor Motor differentiates its Rental controllers from standard retail models with distinctivetwo-color handles.

Handle color combinations are assorted and supplied according to current inventory. Specific combinations are not guaranteed.

The mixed-color handles also make these controllers easy to recognize ashouse or rental controllerswhen racers bring their own equipment to the track.

Recommended Applications

• Operating Voltage:Approximately 16–19V DC
• Polarity:Positive
• Scale:HO and 1/32, plus appropriate moderate-power applications
• Motor Range:Through approximately JK Falcon-class motors

Well suited tohome tracks, clubs, commercial raceways, rental fleets, introductory racing and guest controllers.

A Good Match for OmniSlotBox

We particularly like this controller as ahouse controller for OmniSlotBox analog installations.

An OmniSlotBox can open a Carrera track to a tremendous variety of analog cars. Keeping several straightforward house controllers available means guests can simply plug in and race without needing their own controller or learning a complicated set of adjustments.

For OmniSlotBox tracks using our preferred XLR driver stations, choose the separately listedXLR-equipped versionof this controller or use one of our available adapters.

Why Choose the Professor Motor Rental Controller?

A good house controller shouldn't require instructions before somebody can drive a slot car. It should besmooth, dependable, comfortable and tough enough to survive beginners.

The Professor Motor Rental Controller delivers that simplicity while offering a wider useful motor and voltage range than traditional fixed-resistance controllers.

Plug it in. Hand it to a racer. Let them race.
