That looks like an interesting controller. I know it is FET32 meaning for 1/32nd scale but can it be used with "mild" 1/24th scale like BRM's and Scaleautos ? What makes a controller specific to a scale?
It can be used for lower power cars say 16d max, All a matter of scale, this is a very scaled down version of the FETRoller that would be major overkill and the brakes are trimmmed for 1/32 scale cars. Thsi unit is desogned for 1/32 not inteneded for 1/24th

Again showing my ignorance - 16d is quite potent? and used in Wing type racing? When you refer to 1/24 scale are you talking more about Wing cars than "Scale"(slower) 1/24th cars.

Slotbutton I don't think you have any trouble running Scale 1/24 cars as the motor are low current types.
The FET32 is not a PWM unit, it is linear/power dissipative, using FET Transistor technology.
The brake adjustment range is better on the FET32 but the maximum brake is the same. The brakes will still stop your car on a dime and give 9 cents change!
I have that controller and the one that is refurbished w/smaller heatsink, They both work great. I was thinking for a person starting out so they didn't have to spend a ton of money right out of the box or get stuck with a rental controller,or something without adjust-ability to run say an lmp or nascar.
So it's not suitable for 1/32 cars with much higher current than a 16d.
And it is suitable 1/24 car up to 16d power - for example the much less powerful motors used plastic chassis cars like the ones from BRM.
