Repair Slot Car Control ASMR

Relax while looking over my shoulder as I diagnose and repair my slot car controller. The controller is the an E -Motion 3 HD30 made by Difalco Design of Jensen Beach, Florida and is my preferred brand of slot car controller. This is the first time I have had to replace anything on any of my controllers and you'll notice I struggled a little when trying to hold the meter probes against the terminals of the potentiometer. If I had to do it again, next time I would just clip the probes to the black and red alligator clips like the manufacturer's website suggest. Difalco calls the component I replace in this video a "rheostat", but having three terminals instead of two, indicates to me that it's a potentiometer. Either way, the two components serve the same purpose and as a matter of fact, my other Difalco slot car controller, an E-Motion Fanatic model, does use a rheostat for braking. I apologize for the harsh sound at 13:05...I dropped the pot (potentiometer). The slot car shown in this video is a 1/32 scale model of a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. The prototype was developed to do battle with and chip away at the formidable racing records compiled by the Ford Cobras and Ferraris. This slot car was produced by Monogram. For those who noticed the guitar effects pedal in the background, I'll save you the time of asking: It's a inexpensive overdrive in the X-series of pedals made by DigiTech. The round object in the background is a calculator. If you are new my channel, I invite you to subscribe. Thanks for watching.
