Radio Control Cooler Crawler Throttle Box

Here is the inside showing the four radio control Cooler Crawler throttles, built by several of our members.

This is a shot of the inside of the lid of the throttle box, notice the ten pole, twelve position rotary switch. All of these poles are need to make throttles work when they are not set to operator the panel meters.

This is the left side of the front of the throttle box showing the panel meters and the rotary switch. The switch selects which throttle controls the meters. The meters come in handy when trying to find out problems on the track, is there something shorting the track or some reason the power is just not getting to engines.

This is the right side of the front of the throttle box, showing the fuses and power switches for each throttle.

Here is a look at the back of the throttle box. The sockets are for banana plugs that connect to the tracks.

Here is another shot of the inside of the throttle box, there is a single 4" fan that cools the box. When we are not at a show we store the hand held throttles and the main power cord inside the box.

This is one of the hand held throttles that are used. The red and green buttons are for the speed and the two gray buttons are for the direction control.
