Review: Fast Delivery, Fair Price, Excellent Product! - These controllers work like a charm. I ordered one and was impressed with the quality and price, so I ordered another one.
Review: Excellent Wireless controller - I bought this controller to ensure I had four wireless controllers for my scalextric set. Once I figured out how to properly program it to the Arc Pro base we were off and racing with no problems. I would recommend scalextric provide YouTube video directions by the instructions that come in the box are not the best -- very low budget in my humble opinion.
