Stop&Go 2.0 box with 2 relays + brake for connection of controllers, transformers, lap counters and track.

The DS Stop&Go 2.0 is the connection hub that sets the standard in timing and power control for competitive slot racing circuits

When the electronics fail in the middle of a heat, all the preparation work loses value. The DS-0061 box in its 2.0 version is designed precisely to eliminate that variable: it acts as the distribution brain between the power supply, controllers, lap counting system, and lanes, ensuring that each electrical impulse reaches where it should, when it should.

What it does and how it works

The Stop&Go 2.0 works as the nerve centre of the circuit. The moment the lap counter detects the end of a heat, the 2 independent high-capacity relays instantly cut the power to each lane, preventing extra laps or false starts at the beginning. At the same time, the integrated brake system acts on the vehicles to stop them in a controlled manner on the lane, without jerks or derailments due to inertia.

The management is completely centralised: from this box, all the essential elements of the installation — controllers, transformer, lap counter, and track — are coordinated through specific and well-defined connections.

Technical features

• 2 high-response relays: independent management of power in each lane.
• Integrated brake: safe and progressive stopping of vehicles by cutting power.
• Differentiated connections: inputs for controller (banana/jack), transformer, and output to track.
• Compatibility with DS lap counters: direct synchronisation to automate the start and end of heats.
• Optimised 2.0 electronics: designed to withstand high amperages without voltage drops.
• Version: 2.0, with improved electronics compared to the previous generation.

Integration into the circuit

The Stop&Go 2.0 is positioned between the power supply and the lanes, also receiving signals from the lap counter to automate the race sequence. It is compatible with both resistive and electronic controllers, and its robust construction makes it suitable for both regular club sessions and long-duration events where reliability is non-negotiable.

Ideal for…

• Clubs and organisers of analogue slot championships that need precise control over the start and finish of each heat.
• Fixed track installations where energy management is to be automated without relying on manual switches.
• Demanding drivers who want race electronics that match their mechanical preparation.

Frequently asked questions

Is a DS lap counter necessary for the Stop&Go 2.0 to function?

The box is designed to synchronise natively with DS lap counters and timers, which send the cut signal to the relays. Without that external signal, the automatic stop function does not activate, although the rest of the connections remain operational.

How does version 2.0 differ from the previous one?

Version 2.0 incorporates optimised electronics that improve the response of the relays and overall power management, providing greater stability under prolonged high amperages compared to the previous generation.

Does it work with both resistive and electronic controllers?

Yes. The controller inputs of the Stop&Go 2.0 are compatible with both resistive and electronic controllers, adapting to the type of controller used by each driver in the installation.

How many lanes does it manage simultaneously?

It manages 2 lanes independently thanks to its 2 relays, covering the standard for typical analogue slot racing configurations with two simultaneous drivers.

Can the integrated brake damage vehicles or motors?

No. The brake function acts electrically on the lane in a controlled manner, stopping the cars safely without mechanical shocks or overloads that could affect the motor or electronics of the vehicle.

Can it be used with any brand of track?

The Stop&Go 2.0 operates electrically with the lanes, making it compatible with different analogue track systems. Optimal compatibility with the timing system depends on using the corresponding DS lap counters.

The DS Stop&Go 2.0 (DS-0061) is a professional slot car connection box featuring 2 high-capacity relays and an integrated brake system for full control of analog slot racing circuits. It connects controllers, power supplies, lap counters and track in a single centralized unit — the benchmark choice for club racing and competitive slot events.
