Thanks BARacer for the very nice question and comment.
During the early stages of system development we have been using 12 simple development boards with joysticks as throttle controllers.
We are now moving to ARC throttle controllers with modified internal hardware. These are great for initial track level testing of up to 12 cars on track.
But modified ARC throttle controllers themselves have some limits. This is important as the new system offers 8bit throttle resolution, 8bit brake adjustment and head/tail lights on/off - amongst its range of features.
So in answer to your question, yes there is a ‘nice’ spec throttle controller in the development pipeline.
Also, we are looking at a level of system cross-compatibility for these controllers so hopefully, in due course, they will become highly desirable.
