I got a new controller, and I'm thinking of picking up another one right away. I'll tell you why: I've been having some trouble with my SCP-1 controller, notably that the wire is starting to get really soft and brittle. I was having some issues the other day with it, and went on a search and found a new SCP-2 controller. After having received it, I want another one. I think I'll go ahead and order it and shelve the old one and the DS controller.
The SCP-2 is everything I liked in the SCP-1 when I first got it. Total package kinda thing. Feels stronger, especially the cable. I like the adjustable trigger, and what seems to be a slow/med/fast controller setting. I haven't tried it yet, plan to tonight. Then the decision will be whether to buy another SCP-2 or see about picking up a replacement cartridge for the SCP-1.
Also, as of this post, I have now bought more cars in 2022 than in 2021, and it's just May. Buying collector packs will increase your collection quickly, as will rounding out some of these race teams that I'm forming. I'm in a bit of a lull right now, as I'm waiting for the next batch of cars to come out. Still looking for a few things as well, and am considering branching out into another class to keep things interesting.
I'm finally caught up on the blog. I've had a few of these new cars for almost a month now. I got the Rothmans 908 a month ago and didn't have time to write about it. Started drafts of all the cars, filling them out as time went by until I felt I had finished each post. They're still in the order which I got them.
Manufacturer wars should get very interesting. With this new influx of NSR cars, that's going to put pressure on the Thunderslot cars to stay on top, which is under threat more and more with every purchase. I have 12 NSR cars to Thunderslot's 6 cars. Either way you slice it, that's going to give the competitive advantage to NSR on the very idea that there are double the amount of entries per race. We'll see how that all irons out.
I'm going to delay purchasing the tire truer. Now that I'm up to speed with the cars I have, I don't need to do a batch truing job. Sure, it would be nice to have, but not for 200 bucks. Not right now.
Photography of cars is going great. As is video stuff. Putting together more stuff for the YouTube channel, just doing it in bits and pieces. Coming soon: the Gulf 917K #9 and #10, and the Bosch 908.
