Re: scalectrix

Hi Aggzy.

I think there are two methods of controlling scalextric.

One uses a large variable resistance element in the hand controller, and all the current for the motor goes through it.

The other is electronic.

it should be possible to do something for either system, but would take some time, (and hence cost) to develope. How much time is difficult to say without having a system to play with. But in principal, yes it is possible.

Hope this helps.

Geoff

Re: scalectrix

Actually, I think One-Switch has already done it.
