And hook the Personal Transponder where?

eduardo_garcia

Ok, but the aux port was not designed to plug the Personal Transponder.... From the spektrum point of view, they don't need to suply a cable to connect the PT

the battery switch is inline with the battery.

I always had better luck with the RPM sensors when I mounted them on the main shaft or rear diff. These rotate slower and you don't have to worry about knowing what gear you're in for the car speed.

If you're not going to use the lap counter and have access to a PC at the track Eagletree also has a logger for a few temps, RPM, voltage and current (for electrics). Costs a little less and it works pretty well.

For the temp complaints, the thermistor that is used is always more accurate than the mini temp guns that we use. A temp gun is only accurate for the surface that it is set for (shiny vs. dull or different materials). Measuring the temp with a gun at the glow plug and putting the thermistor at the side of the head also can give wildly different readings because they're different locations. It's kind of like measuring the temp on your face compared to your hand.

..It says in the manual you can cut the antenna wire down to 3.5 ". Are any of you forgoing the plastic antenna tube altogether? I would like to eliminate the plastic tube and just coil the antenna wire and fasten it to the radio plate. Does anyone see any problem with this?

Thanks,
Steve

I'v cut mine down to 4 inches and have a tube about 2 inches tall. It looks funny, but works.

Also, I have my telemetry system for sale. I have the lap trigger too. I used it for 2 weekends of testing and removed it from the car. It has 2 rpm sensors, 1 new in package and 1 used. I like the system, but my racing season only has 1 more race till the fall. Anybody interested, 130 shipped with the trigger, sent priority mail in the US...

prossi

does it have to be cut, cant you just wrap it?

Hi guys:

About the lap timing system. It is working ok for me, but one in 7 laps I get 1 lap at 0,17 seconds. However, it only happens when I'm retrieving the data, durind the run it gives the right lap time value.

I dont know if anyone still reads this thread, but I reply anyway.
Hey EDWARDO, I just tried the telemetry, or I am just hooking it up, i noticed when i put the RPM sensor on the front axle, with a black line painted on it, it would not only count the black line, but would also count the scratches on the axle.
So if you are still having trouble getting the rpm to read correctly, try maybe putting where there is no scratches on the surface, it worked for me.
You also could put a piece of black tape around the axle so the surface was consistent, and then stick the silver sticker on it or a white pen mark, or visa versa.
You can use the speed of this axle RPM to compare with other times you run, eg: 5000rpm on this shaft in run 1 of the day, is a bit faster than 4000 rpm on this shaft in run 2 of the day, Do you get what I'm saying?
