traveler,thanks for the offer but i'm gonna have to pass.
Come on man. I can be your stunt double. I'll even drive my cars with my transponder and your cars with yours. No one will ever know. Just haven't figured out how I will drive two cars in the same mains because I should qualify close to you.
that sounds like such a good idea now i think of it. i'm gonna ups all of my stuff.you will see it wed. that would be cool if you could get two cars to drive with one radio. cya soon
We had a trial race at the HT in Mooresville and it went very well. I need to talk to the staff to set up a date. The ILap system there worked very well, we could use it for the race. The Z specific transponders use the same harness as the Giro.
Giros are not compatible. We will have to see how many ILap transponders we have available at that time. I would like to be able to use a timing system that we have some experience with so you and Landon don't have to do it. They work like a Giro but are not limited to 26 units, they are unlimited like an AMB and cost about $37. The Mini Z specific ones use the Giro harness.
The store actually has ten loaner transponders. Worst case scenario we don't pick up any Mini-z specific transponders we have plenty of transponders available.
With a little prepp the the transponder situation can be easily resolved using zipp ties Giroz harness the plug into the board and Futaba J plug male parts that you can crimp to the end of a Giroz harness.
There are about a hundred and one different ways to make these things work, if you don't want to shell out 37 bucks for your own.
I really want to see ILap in action. I have used the transponder once before but never paid attention to the software but I know RC Srocing Pro is awesome.
I am trying to get The Track to get this as their system and transponders so hopefully we wont have to run the races when we are there. I beleive they use RC Scoring Pro already so whoever already runs the racing program should have no problem doing ours.
I will buy a transponder if you guys will have them avilable there for purchase. If not let me know and I will order one.
We are supposed to have transponders available for sale soon at the track. We should know after this Saturday. If not maybe everyone can go in on a package deal and get them 10 for $35.00 a piece.
I don't know much about the software versus any other software. Mostly I like that there are an unlimited amount of transponder designations, so you don't have to worry about who has what no two are the same. Secondly they have a red flashing light that let's you know it is working which is always good to know.
I am eager to race with everyone soon as well. The Hobbytown facility is a big venue. It will a great place for a big track plenty, of room!
