Its a TruSpeed digital controller which I ordered a couple of weeks ago from the UK to test at FRC. I collected it from TT Post today and I must say, it feels SWEET! And that's just holding it in my hand and squeezing the trigger. I can't wait to test it out this Thursday and for everyone to try it and give some feedback. The small black thing in the plastic bag is a second, longer trigger (which comes free with the controller). Its basically for those that prefer to use two fingers on the trigger, or simply find that it works better for them. There's a strip along the top where each controller can be colour-coded with special stickers available from TruSpeed. This one came with a green sticker pre-applied.
Steve at TruSpeed kindly waived the £12 shipping fee as he wants to get exposure through FRC for our region. Its not cheap, but I suspect that once we try it we'll want five more
Cost of the controller is £48 + £12 shipping to T'dad, a total of £60 or about TT$600. I also had to pay TT$225 in duties and VAT, so that comes to TT$825 for one controller. I know that the shipping will be less per unit if we order the remaining five all at once, so we'll have to raise the funds to try to do it like that, assuming we decide to go that way.Check out their website to learn more about their controllers and accessories:
