Just an FYI, The Timing systems just shipped ad the APP for it (which is CRAZZY), will be in the app store on saturday or sunday. They will have Bracket racing setup on it...and a printout of your timeslip, just like in real drag racing...You can do this with any car, of course....

Do you have a docking base on your Traxxas Transmitter??
It is a night and day difference....you become the race director and can print out time slips, invite other drivers to read their specs real-time, view a real time display of all of the sensors and laser temps, etc....it is crazy....its like 30 bucks or so for the module and you attach it to your traxxas radio.
Hope this helps...

No problem! If you need help while you are setting it up (or if you want to know how to quickly access some of the new features that not everyone knows about), call 888-Traxxas and ask for Jason Stephens.....He has been using them at the NHRA Demos.....He is on the Dealer line,,,,

Thanks again.
I know my first question will be if you can deep stage. I may find out before I call. I am leaving for a race in a couple day, when I return I will be setting this up and calling my friends over. Since I have one car now. I think I will have everyone drop $5 for best ET, best reaction time......... No crashing I hope. LOL

Straight from page 9.
"The timing system allows “deep staging.” When a vehicle is deep-staged, the pre-stage LEDs will go out while the stage LEDs stay lit. The racer is disqualified if the vehicle rolls forward enough so that both the pre-stage and stage beams are unbroken. See “Deep stage” definition in the Glossary for more information."

The 70MPH is on 3s in the front of Traxxas, which is a normal street, un-prepped, with normal expansion joints and everything. Its not easy at forst, but once you find the proper burnout, and proper launch setting, for the conditions you are in that day, you can burn 70mph runs consistently. :-)
