STROMBECKER:

Since the very beginning of Model Road Racing, Strombecker has led the way as the unquestioned leader. Strombecker has made many changes since introducing the first racing set in the US in 1959.

Strombecker know-how and experience starts when the rubber meets the road! In real racing, as in model racing, every element, no matter how small, is important. That's why we pay extra-close attention to the precision parts that go on our model road racers...from the body shells right down to the wheels. Ever since we pioneered the model road racing business with our first complete set back in '59, we've taken our lead from the latest ideas in actual, full-size car components. Take wheels, for example. Strombecker wheels duplicate the wheels on Ferrari, Jaguars, Coopers and other famous racing cars. And as for Competition Wheels--deluxe chrome, mag, dragster--we've got 'em all, and all the caps, nuts, knock-offs and inserts that go with them.

How to Pick the Right Controller
The controller has an enormous job to do--control the car, and absorb or dissipate the heat generated by its resistance. Since all motors vary in the amount or resistance in the armature, the same controller is available in varying OHM ratings.

The rule of thumb is: the HOTTER the motor, the lower OHM rating controllers work best. HO cars, 1/32 cars in sets and some older 1/32 and 1/24 car kit cars use medium to high OHM controllers. The latest motors and rewinds use the 15 OHM rated units.

The following chart suggests what motors will operate best on what OHM controllers. You can work from there.

15 OHMS or less:
Can type 300B, 500B, 600B, Pittman DC84, DC65-6 volt, Kemtron 6 volts, K & B Super Challenger, Atlas 6 volt, Glove SS-91, and similar "hot" motors and rewinds.

25 OHMS or less:
Pittman DCI96B, Can type 600A, Kemtron 8-10 volts, Strombecker Avenger, K & B Challenger, Strombecker Devastator, Pittman DC706, Ram 850, 426, Strombecker Destroyer, Hustler and similar motors including 1/32 - 1/24 scale car kits.

Over 45 OHMS:
Strombecker Scuttler, Pittman DC 65-12, Wilson 876-13, Kemtron 12-18 volt motors, all 12-18 volt motors in 1/32 & 1/24 scale ready to run sets. The "normal" type motors for long, smooth, dependable operation.

85 OHMS:
For HO cars of all types.
