				UUMMMMMMMMMM its tempting,I really like the detail that 1/43 gets and yes still a scale that you can havee a good sized track in a smallish area,I have yet to race anything this scale,BUT I have heard that its GOOD,need to check hobby shops and see what the sapres are like or how hard to source

				Here's a real good tip I plucked off the net!!!
What I have done with Tomy controllers is cut the wire/plug off and then properly connect it to an AFX Russkit contoller from the early 1970s. The big, adult size,yellow AFX Russkit controllers are a much higher quality than the disposable Tomy controllers we have today. And, have 3 screws that allow you to take them apart should you need to.
I have AFX Russkit controllers from almost 40 years that still work. Nowadays, I can't wait for a Tomy controller to fail! This is an opportunity to convert a Russkit with today's Tomy plug.
These controllers are plentiful on Ebay. Just make sure you are looking at the big controllers and not the yellow versions of today's controllers. Worst mistake ever in AFX history was to downsize the controllers!
