Lynn,
    But my pulse width modulation slot car controller got banned after
    the first
    night of racing...... motor ran cooler, so speed didn't fall off
    during long
    events.

I used a mechanical chopper on my first Electric car. A cut up Lucas
starter motor turned by another Lucas starter motor. The rig had no
modulation other than on half the time and off half the time. But it
worked fine.

The poor choice of a car was a 4 door RX-2. I could make it from the
house to the shopping center and back on one charge. R-2800 Jack and
Heintz generator as the motor. Fiat 5 speed, left usually in 4th gear.
Six deep cycle fishing motor batteries. 55 MPH top speed.  Quiet as a
mouse. It could spin the tires. Had regen braking. All done with old
ford starter relays. Still have the Jack and Heintz. The car was free,
so that was the choice part.

I wish I still had my 2 door RX2. I got a 3 rotor in the hangar I could put in
it :) That car weighed only 2600 pounds before all this crash nonsense.
You could put air bags on the outside!
