Rob i'd be more than happy to help you test them & i hope it all goes well
we'll all be using them this time next year anyway
Er... it counts laps. So does the two I have now. I don't need telemetry on temps, and I run a booster to power the electrics, so it won't tell me anything about the car, leave alone the fact that I can't see computer on race control. Negative? Positive I don't need one!!

I am sure the same will happen with these too, they will save space in cars which are tight on chassis room (Durango for one springs to mind) save weight for classes that this effects more (like TC and 1/12th) and bring the added "data" bonus that may benefit nitro classes too.

As showtime says, we will all probably have them this time next year.....
MRT do a PTX transponder that is smaller and lighter, can accept your cloned number, or generate any of the current AMB numbers 1-10. In 12th they are very popular, so we've already done the size and weight thing, and as indicated above, we've can't use any of the telemetry. Wouldn't this fit a Durango today, or indeed any other electric car that won't be able to use the telemetry? Just a thought...
