Jon, I've seen the photos you post on Iowa RC Tracks. Have you used the system outside on. Sunny day before? Any specific mounting work better than others?

Off topic, what kind of carpet are you using indoors?

They have not used it outside yet. There first outdoor track will be built this year at the city park. Plans are to use this system for the first year until funds are available for an amb system. The reciever are mounted on a 4" PVC pipe , just make sure they are on the opposite side as traffic or a out of control car will smash them. Carpet is just some old short loop office carpet.

I wonder how it works outside. Wish I had enough room for an indoor carpet track....
