To use the 1/24 &
1/32 SCALE
SLOTCAR
SPEEDCHECKER, you simply place your car
on the rollers, connect the two wires of a power supply or
battery to the RED (+) and BLACK (–) terminals, and
press the POWER button, then the START button.
The Speedchecker itself is independently powered by two AA batteries
(included) so
it's delicate electronics
are completely isolated from the high power required by 1/24 &
1/32 slot cars.
During and at the end of the timing period, the LCD reads out the REAL TIME ACTUAL SPEED, not some
meaningless number—it's that simple! This unit does not use
a slave
motor to
generate readings. Instead it uses frictionless infrared sensors—so
there is NEVER any RF or electrical interference to corrupt
the digital
display.
The 1/24 &
1/32 SCALE
SLOTCAR
SPEEDCHECKER measures the car's speed in
ACTUAL Km/h. If you want to know
your car's actual speed in Mp/h, you can convert
from Km/h to Mp/h by simply dividing the readout on the display by
1.6 For example,
80 Km/h is
the same as 50 Mph. This unit will measure cars with actual
speeds
up to 99 Km/h (over 60 Mph)! You can also ask GOOGLE and it will do the
math for you!
Here
is the 1/24 SPEED CHECKER
taking a real-time reading of an honest 35
Km/h on the rollers, nearly 23 Mp/h.

SPEEDCHECKER can be powered by a 12 to 20 DC volt
power supply
or a 12 volt battery
(neither are
included).
If you own an adjustable power supply you
can turn down the power and
clearly see if your axles, wheels, and tires are running true.
Even track
power can be used to power this unit using your
controller to adjust the car's speed (knowledge of which
track
terminals are + and – and suitable hook up wiring is required).
This is also a great
tool to see if vibration or heat is robbing you of speed
over time.

SLOTCAR
SPEEDCHECKER is an amazing diagnostic tool
that's great for tune ups, and
modifications—just what you need to
squeeze that last
bit of speed out of
each of your 1/24 & 1/32 cars.
It has two modes;
one for
measuring speed over a given length of time (automatic), and another
that tells you how long a car would
take to cover the distance flat out (you
must input the length of your track).
It is so sensitive it
can measure the difference before
and after adjusting motor brushes, truing or changing tires, or even
when you oil
a car! You can also use the unit to see how different gear
ratios or tires affect overall speed. Great to
use for breaking in slotcars and motors too; just let your car
run for any amount of time you wish (full power breaking-in is not
recommended).
