[ScorpiusWireless]

Today after 2 years of development the Nitrous concept became reality.
With the MPD you can load Scorpius, Carrera or Nitrous firmware in around 30 seconds. 

NITROUS:

MPD CAR DECODER
The following is a list of  things never seen before for Carrera users

Still limited to 6 cars, a Carrera driver can now access all the Scorpius goodies. The best ones are throttle and braking control, but there are other cool functions.

Firstly whats required?
1. MPD car decoder with Nitrous firmware installed.
2. Nitrous Dongle.
3. Scorpius controller.
4. Optional Scorpius Dongle.

The Carrera CU is still used exactly as you would normally use it. All the Carrera functions are 100% available. Access to the SmartRace app is not affected.

Some basic yet nice things are that you can turn lights on and off on the fly. And toggle low to high beam even on a standard Carrera car (with factory lights). You can also flash high beam. On standard Carrera you can only turn lights on/off when the car is stationary. We also have the optional super capacitor so lights don’t flicker on/off over the little dead spots on the lane changers.
We also have flashing lights for a safety car and 2 exhaust simulator LEDs. So that’s lights.

Another nice basic thing is being able to set car ID using the Scorpius controller instead of using the Carrera CU.
OLED in car screen. 
Tacho. Show on OLED. 
Powerful 25A motor driver.
Wirelessly upgradable.
No registrations required.
Throttle mapping. Design your own throttle maps on your PC and upload to controller library. You can store up to 10 maps and recall on the fly.
Adjustable brakes 0-100 in 1% increments.
Full house or Mini version available.

CONTROLLER 
By default you get a pistol grip controller not the plunger type.
Screen.
Menu.
2.4 GHz
Optional wireless recharging.
Control all light functions.
Speed limiter.
Min speed. 
Wirelessly upgradable by app.
Channel security. Can’t be hacked.
Configurable settings. 
Name, ID, map number and brake % on screen. 
Adjustable brakes 0-100 in 1% increments.
256 throttle steps. 
Wrist strap.
Ergonomic design.
Long battery life.

So combined over 25 features or functions never before available to Carrera users either from Carrera or 3rd party manufacturers.


NITROUS DONGLE
Converts Scorpius throttle protocols into Carrera protocols. Simply plug in and race. Up to 6 Scorpius controllers can be used at once.

It allows the lane change command to the CU in a native fashion so no rubber bands or work arounds are required. This will mean 100% truly compatible lane changing without the debate.
