Now that I am aware of this issue hopefully we can avoid any problems for the new series.

Can you please post any specific information that you where given? Things such as minimum distances from certain items in the car (eg. motor, cells etc.) for example. Any particular height from the track surface that helps?
I'm not sure what most people do, I personally normally run handouts in the roof section / front screen of the shell as I feel they are a bit too vunerable in the wing. Is that seen as good practice?
Have always been told to run a PT off the main chassis deck away from motors and cells as much as possible (i.e. on top of servo in 2wd and either the same place or on top deck near the servo in 4wd). I would also have though that having it too close to the sensor wire on a brushless system might upset it.
If you can confirm or otherwise any of these it might help somebody.
The more info you can give us the less likely people are to have an issue, at all venues not just yours.
For the record I think all my laps counted correctly at the MK GP in both cars ..... however my friend had troubles.
