Not Too High Not Too Low
I strive to find that happy medium. I don’t want the speed too light because the players will move slowly. Your best bases will under perform in this situation. It’s no fun to watch slow moving players. The flip side of that is I don’t want the speed too high because the players will fall the moment the board is turned on. When the motor is set just right, the players fire across the board. Sometimes depending on the sensitivity of the bases, the motor will cause certain players to slightly jump when the board is initially switched on.
I find that the best motors are on the boards that were made with the thicker sheet metal. Motor performance changes when they are mounted on a custom board. I use three motors on my board. Due to the size of the board, I can crank the motors up a little beyond what is normal for a traditional board.
