will try to explain lapcounting !!
majority of clubs use AMB systems (now technically called MYLAPS after a rebranding/takeover )
there are various incarnations of the system AMB20 RC2/RC3/RC4
AMB 20 is the earliest system and is little used nowadays and tends to be found in small local clubs and is an "analogue" system and transponder are usually club owned "handouts"
RC2/3/4 is the most common and RC 4 is the latest incarnation
Two manufactures can supply transponders (the actual piece that does the counting)
AMB them selves ALL versions of AMB will work on the latest Rc4 system however the latest transponder affectionately known as "Purcy" is NOT backwards compatible to earlier systems
MRT (a british company ) and highly respected also manufacture transponders ,once again they make two versions
the early version PTX will work on all AMB RC systems except RC4(and AMB20 ) the latest version
MRT now produce PTX NS (new style ) which will work on RC4 (I also think it is backwards compatabile but im not 100% sure )
I have some genuine AMB for BRCA events that use AMB RC4 and MRT PTX transponders for club racing that use earlier versions
bit complicated but I hope I have explained
nearly all /ESC/Motors will interface quite happily (neither can recognize which brand its attached to if its not the same
only thing is type sensored or sensorless, sensoredusually is domain of offroad and on road sensorless tends to be "bashing" territory or 1/8 th scale electric or bigger where finesse and adjustability isnot quite so critical
(no offence intended to bashers or the 1/8 scale boys !!
