What else can you do with your Spark Plug Wireless Controller?

Set up is simple, but you can do even more with your Spark Plug Wireless Controller if you have a smart phone or tablet.

Download the Spark Plug app on your device. Once you’ve logged in, you can choose your throttle profile depending on the racing experience you want. Choose from:

·       Control: Enjoy maximum control over your slot cars with slower acceleration.

·       Drive: A little less control but a little faster acceleration – this profile takes your race up a notch.

·       Sport: This gives you the most balanced profile, with medium control and acceleration.

·       Race: Things are getting interesting, as you forgo control for faster acceleration.

·       Nitro: Minimum control, maximum speed – expect slot cars to be flying everywhere!

Which throttle profile best fits the kind of driver you are? Have fun and test them all out to find your favourite.

With two Spark Plug dongles, you can also try Versus mode when you use your smart device as your controller. This gives you chances to be tactical in your racing, boosting your own speed while restricting your opponent for a really competitive game. And on smart devices that support it, you can enjoy rumble effects and sounds too.
