The protection circuits worked like a champ...very pleased with the results. Time to start building!

Will announce availability when my distributor has sufficient stock to fill orders.

The JayGee Racing Linear 200 Pro 40 is available now from Roger Schmitt at Mid-America Raceway.

The Linear 200 Pro 40 is a 40-amp, 24-band linear response electronic controller, capable of handling all motor types ranging from Falcons and 16Ds through Eurosports and GP7s. It incorporates the latest advances in controller design...from it's linear response, zero dead-band throttle control and software programmable Brake N' Release (TM) MOSFET brake profile to its ultra-light weight, USB cable connected modular design.

The standard Linear 200 Pro 40 comes with a 24-band wiper board, brake & throttle pot, ball bearing trigger, high current linear power module with 40-amp blast relay and advanced Brake 'N Release MOSFET brake control.

A Note About Cables
JayGee Racing Linear 200 controllers utilize lightweight and highly flexible USB cables to conduct power and analog control signals between the controller handle and power module. Since the USB digital signaling protocol is NOT used, JayGee Racing controllers should never be plugged into any device's USB port...nor should any filtered or buffered cables or repeaters be used to extend cable length on a Linear 200 controller.

...for your interest in the Linear 200 controller and your patience for it's delivery. It's been one heckuva project with a loooooong learning curve in MOSFET protection. But's it's well worth it, for if nothing else, it gave me a good platform to base Joe Poulin's chin operated controller on.

I've just updated my website with complete info on the Linear 200, detailed pics and descriptions, explanations of how it works, pricing, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email directly or to post your questions on OWH.

Thanks,
Jeff

The first Linear 200s shipped w/o user manuals...it was either build controllers or write! I've just completed it and posting it on my website. The link to the manual is on my site's home page.

Well I used my new controller for the first time yesterday in a Box12 Championship race at Sonny's. It took only 2 heats to get the braking
right and I have to say it is one awesome controller. It was amazing
how deep I could go into the dead man before braking and also the lead on
on black. The only problem I had was that I had to fabricate a hanger for the circuit board. I could not see it just hanging there. Otherwise it is one hell
of a controller. Thanks again Jeff.

Well Now with Harry using one of your controllers Jeff you might want to invest in a fire proof model because we all know how he liked to burn them down or is that up in the parking lot. I couldn't resist Harry

[JayGee]

BTW, congratulations on winning your Box12 race on your very first outing with the Linear 200. Heard you won by 20 laps or so.

Since Harry spoke so much about how the Brake N' Release(TM) controlled brakes performed in the gutter lanes, I've posted a detailed explanation of how the brakes work on my site.

I always have a spare pack of matchs in my slot box. But I have
to say this controller we be around for a while.

Holy Hell !!

My new toy arrived yesterday from Chicago - thanks Roger for such fantastic service

Needless to say, I wasted little time replacing the 'gator clips with a female IEC safety plug (as us edumicated Kiwis use) and tried it out on our club track last night.

My first reaction? The 200 scared the jeepers out of me with its amazing brakes. Talk about stopping on a button.

Now all I need is plenty of track time to figure out the best settings for the different classes we run

Thanks Jeff. You have produced a neat controller

After surfing the net for 6 months looking at high end controller features, I purchased a Linear 200 from Jay Gee. I run FastLane Raceway in Evansville, IN, & have raced slot cars intermittently since the mid-60's. I am also a recovering systems engineer with a strong background in motor controls. I have several new racers that will be moving up to a high end controller, & I wanted to offer them the best option.
I was impressed with the Brake & Release concept, on paper, but when I put it on the track, Wow! I was running a tired flexi, that is my "loaner". Switching from a turbo with brakes to the Linear 200, I cut my best lap time by .2 seconds, within 20 laps. This is on a 90 foot flat hillclimb that has a typical lap time of around 5 seconds. This improvement has occurred on all the racers who tried it (5 so far).
I am stocking the Linear 200 as the high end controller I recommend. It is a well engineered & packaged product, that is worth the money.

Did I say that I love the "lightness" of this new featherweight controller.

And the smoooooooooth delicate touch of the wiper and the dual ball-raced trigger control??

I think I am in love

[1SLOWHAND]

Just a superior job of engineering. I can concentrate on driving the car now instead of worrying about over driving it. Staying competitive is easier than ever. Thanx Jeff for making it even more fun !

Jeff,

The controller looks very good and I really like the thorough engineering approach you took to develop it. That alone is impressive enough to make me interested in it.

I see heat shrink over the brake control circuitry. A post above mentioned that a hanger was needed to isolate the circuit board. Are there plans for some physical protection, or some ideas to create a cover?
