Have you tried adjusting the sensitivity dial on the Truspeed controller?

Hi Mike, yes I've got the Truspeed dialled in to using it with the bikes, what amazed me is the difference in reaction and share speed with the two different controllers.
The scalextric one reacts like a locomotive pulling away.
Hats off to Truspeed, they have a wonderful product when you compare like this.

Oops! I misunderstood and thought you found the Truspeed too sensitive.?
 I’m glad yours works just as well as mine does!

Thanks Mike, yes I think they are incredible compared to scalextric ones out the box.

Hi All,

the Britten is finished 
I haven't finished painting the rider but I couldn't wait for that to show you.
I drew up the decal logo's and got them printed from Colin, I should of put more white outline around the Mobil logo's but I can live with it.
First time I've ever used carbon fibre decals and they look really cool.

Here's all the parts before assembly.

And here she is all finished, I've taken some pics with the donner bike and if you study it you can really see the difference.
