Just spent a very pleasant afternoon tuning up two completely different slot cars (standard Scalextric/podded Slot.it) for the B2JOG Proxy, together with two other GT3s for reference. The SCP is very versatile and I was able to dial it in after a while to address the characteristics of each car.
Each SCP knob has a very specific adjustment, so as long as you are able to 'read' how a car is responding to the 'control profile' the SCP is generating, with a bit of trial and error, it's not too difficult to spot what effect adjusting each knob has on the car.
Without thinking deeply about it at the time, I think I was following a process that led me to use a similar trigger action for all the different performance cars. So it wasn't a case of smashing the trigger for the standard Scalextric car, but feathering it gently for the Slot.it.
On that basis, I have to say that there is a purpose and benefit in all the SCP electronics, for me, anyway.

I love puttering with gears
