.. and that is to check what you have heard.. and verify for yourself by testing ;)

Testing DiSCA:
Testing has always been a problem for us GasMonkeys (and team KesselRun before that) 

Without access to an oxigen track in reasonable distance we've had to be creative. 
These are the steps to took:

Step1 : use a  tachometer to validate the motor. 

Step2 : hook the car up to a rolling road at 12v, pair it up to the SCP  then spin it up. 
Not as useful as for analog cars because we don't have enough baseline data.  Gearing for oxigen is completely different.

Step 3: analog track testing. 
We used an analog throttle in the club plug point and held it open on full throttle.
We then powered the SCP by a 9v battery to drive the car.
We were able to test the power, handling, lights and gearing this way on local analog tracks. 
Nasot Wood has the same Ninco track surface so is useful for wheel selection.
Wood green is scalextric/urethane but has smooth corners and has a long straight so is useful for gearing.

Step 4. : How To ? 
We have not worked out how we can test:
- the emitter LEDs for lane changing (incorrectly polarity stops it working) 
- the hall effect sensor for lap counting. (Installed upside down stops it working)
- set up an oxigen dongle to update firmware on the chip and SCP. 

Tamar, if you have any tips for step 4 , please let me know. 
Jeremy , expect DiSCA setup and testing to be an ongoing challenge
