One thing I can't get my head around is the different response from the scalectric controller to the Truspeed one, you only have to lightly touch the truspeed one and the bikes are off, it's honestly like driving a Morris 1100 compared to a Ferrari.

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!
