Wiper bands are nickel plated for durability.Exclusive routed fiberglass frame is separate from the circuit board electronics. This allows for inexpensive upgrades in the future by simply replacing the circuit board.Adjustable braking and sensitivity rheostats provide a wide adjustment range to match your car, track and driver characteristics for optimal racing performance. "E"lectronic auto reset brake and power fuses with reverse diode protection for reliability.High amp transistor design is virtually maintenance free.Acu-Pivot trigger pin with trigger ball bearings are standard! Ball bearings keep the wiper button firmly in contact with the wiper bands with zero trigger side play even after years of racing.Rounded wiper button for pinpoint selection of the correct wiper band and reduced friction.All our designs can be serviced, repaired or upgraded by any racer. No returning to the factory, like other controllers! This is important if you want to avoid other manufacturers costly repair bills or if you are in another country.Parma style handles are standard on all Difalco controllers. They are more comfortable to hold than that square handle brand! Do not be fooled by off brand handles that are flimsy and will flex in your hand and crack in a couple years!Neo H.O. controllers come standard with dual polarity.GENESIS NEO CONTROLLERSDD500: Neo controller. 17 band design for more precise control than comparably priced controllers.

Neo controllers feature dual polarity as standard and will work on 2 or 3 wire hookup tracks. Extra long 14 ga wires with clear insulation for outstanding power and looks. Our ball bearing trigger provides silky smooth trigger action. Wide range sensitivity and brake rheostats. $138.00FEATURES TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER CONTROLLERPOWER:*No inline fuses! We do not put a fuse on our main power lines. Not only does this add resistance to the power circuit it also means you are depending on a cheap fuse block to maintain contact with the fuse.

We fuse our transistor outputs and brake line with electronic auto reset fuses that start working as soon as the short circuit is corrected.*Our controller uses a simple terminal setup to switch between positive and negative polarity. Make sure you have this feature.MECHANICAL:*We use a ball bearing trigger with our special threaded trigger pin and adjustable locknut. They claim that their "specially designed pivot rivet provides a snug fit...eliminating the need for aftermarket bearings". I say bull. They use a standard Parma trigger pin. It not only has plenty of side play but as the controller is used the nylon trigger hole will enlarge and the bearings will wear. Our ball bearings are shimmed so there is zero side play.
