I am looking for a nice stop watch so I can time my runs and such.I would like a watch that can count down say from five minutes then beep once it hits the mark and continue counting till I hit a button and save the info.

Go to any sporting goods store, they have a variety of stopwatch you can choose from.

For lapcounting I think this is the best choice:

I have the Orion LCS and used in in electric touring. With those bodies it is easy to mount the IR transmitter and let it send through the windows.

Have you found a good way to mount the IR diode under a Lola style bodyshell?

Any explanations and/or pix would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and have a good day

I use this one,You can start all three times at once and from there I use one for laps,one for pitstops and the 3rd for overall time of race.

You can always get this:



and mount it in the side of the body.

Thx Roelof!

Great idea. Where have you ordered those parts? From crazyLED?
Have you ever crushed a diode? For a spare one, do you have the spec or part #?

Yeah, I know - Lot's of questions. Thank's a lot for lookin into this

Ledholders comes in all kind of shapes and can be found at any local radioshack or otherwise some online electronics shop. And with a piece of aluminium or plastic you can drill a 5mm hole to glue in the LED and right beside that a 3mm hole for mounting it with a nut and a bolt
(Once I made a lapcounter in this way)

I think the LED is a standard IR led costing nothing more than 20 cent. Because the original LED is easy to replace you can give it a try but be sure you connect it the rigt way. The markings are a flat spot and a shorter pin.

cool, then i better just stick a LED to all my bodies, since replacing it is just a normal IR LED...
