I think the old Nosram speedcontroller could be a extermintor pro?

When I gave up in the early 1990s, the ESC i used was a Speedmaster Ultra Gold Star with a 12 turn limit (this was in 1989).
Here is the racing gear I used:- Glynn Peglar 1700 SCE's, KO Esprit with the steering lock knob at the top, KO world champion servo with it's seperate fet booster, Tekomo pro plus slope charger.

My buggy preference was mainly Schumacher (Cat XLS,Procat or Cougar) although I did try Kyosho ZXR's and Yokomos for a time. I did convert my Yokomo into a Cat-fighter, meaning a Cat front end being fitted to a Yokomo chassis.The motors were quite special being a sponsored driver for B&R motors, the winds would be 15 triple or 14 doubles.

After returning back to the racing scene again last year, I am still running speedmaster speed controllers again. The models I use are either X500 or X3 with no motor limits. The speed ultra silver star is still available, but is much smaller than back in the late 1980's.

I used a speedmaster silver star in my lazer and tomy intruder.

I bought a nosram after that and i ran a mg 17 quad motor back in the day with a tekomo pro slope charger.

I was a works MG Driver back in those days ! Still got a couple, and still have the one in my CAT2KTC that I won the Scottish champs with in '95 !

I know it's not vintage as such, but I just picked up a Novak Hammer Pro to go in my 95 CAT !

I'd love to find a Demon 2DH to go back into my Kyosho Beetle, as that was what I ran back then, and yes you could hear the click very clearly !

I got an old LRP speedo off Mr Booth once and that looked pretty similar to the one ni clear shrink wrap...that too was in clear shrink wrap. I think the team drivers used to run them like that when they were testing new products. I think now they just run the new software in older cases.

The Corally is the MMS 2 - the the second generation. The original had fixed built-in limits, I'm sure I have one in the loft - will dig it out over the weekend.

And I will see what else I can dig up.

Here are the original Corally credit card speed controllers - one is for 8 minute racing (1/12th) and the other is 4-5 minutes (had a higher current setting of 50 amps).
