charlesx Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I know very little but you might need a different plug in module to change from 1/24 to 1/32 but perhaps only if you race 1/24 metal. If they are both RTR you may be OK. A 25K motor in 1/24 would suggest RTR as most metal cars are nearer 50-60000.

As in the standard three prong 240v female as below image? They are all the same and can handle up-to 240v as the tracks run at 12v these standard 240v plugs are more than sufficient.

charlesx Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hi Toast. Perhaps I misunderstood original question. Sorry about that. In NZ while some people use the small round IEC plug or whatever it is called preference is now fairly universal - jug plug. Problem seen with normal electrical plug is some child might try to plug into 240 volt socket. A serious potential health and safety issue.

munter Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 IEC is the jug plug and the small round one Charlesss refers to is known as the XLR connector.... unless I have my Xs mixed up with my kettle Quote John Warren Slotcars are my preferred reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Sorry silly me. Thanks for the correction Munter. You are spot on. Regards Chas Le Breton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
