Default Slot.it Controller

I am still awaiting news of the latest Slot.it Controller with a new high power cartridge, has it been launched and have I missed it coming out?

If this is out, is it available in the wireless version for analogue. PLEASE

I haven't seen the controller and high power cart sold together, but they're certainly out yet. Part of the wireless solution is available, but the other part to make the controller wireless for analog is not out yet. That part is called the Cartridge Radio Interface (CRI). Everything else is ready to purchase now.

Ah. I didn't know there was anything new regarding the high power cart. I'll keep an eye out for that, but if you remember where you saw mention of it, please let me know where. I have the high power cart, and all I know about is a mod that disables the LED in the cart, which has something to do with some cars hesitating when you pin the throttle.

Just as an FYI/reminder, to make a slot.it controller wireless you need:
1) a complete functional slot.it controller and cartridge of your choice. In this case, the high power cart. (both available)
2) an oXigen wireless controller cartridge (also available)
3) the CRI (not yet available).

The idea is that you put the oXigen cart in the controller handle, then you hook the CRI to the high power cart that's hooked to the track. The oXigen cart and CRI are the wireless link between the controller and the high power cart.

Thank you for the info. I am sure that a new high power is coming out but perhaps the mod will work for me on Gp 12 cars.

If you already have the first one, it certainly couldn't hurt to try the mod. I believe it's detailed as a download on the slot.it web site.

Hi Mr Flippant

I do not have a Slot.it controller at the moment but looking to buy one.

I have seen the SCP1 advertised with the Oxygen cartridge, presumably I now have to wait for the Cartridge Radio Interface and then link this to a high power cartridge.

I wonder how long I will have to wait for the CRI if I buy the present Hi Power cart and modify it.

Surely the Oxygen cart must link to something at the moment ??
