I do not want one, I like to hear my engine.....

Can still hear engine and race director just fine it just cuts down sound about 15-20 decibels i took half the sound deadening foam out of earpieces.

got to try the what I think are the ultralite units, one single ear and other dual ear. Other than definitely getting ear-sweaty I thought they worked excellent. Not normally doing nitro (trying it again) it was nice to actually be able to speak to my pitman versus yelling and making bad attempts at sign language.

To confirm though, I seem to recall one of the headsets NOT having like an on / off switch, is that the case? one had it on the bottom, didn't see it on the other.

If you don't want to make your own, and Monty want to spend the 400 clams on the EarTec I found these for $260

Reviving this thread...Anyone have with these?

Hello Neesh,

I have been using this Came TV product.. And its great.. It folds to a smaller platform than Eartec.. So, it would be more compact to store..

Cheers.. :)

thanks for the response Stanley...would u by chance have a link? Not sure if its Came or u meant Game?

Hello Neesh,

Thanks Stanley! I'll take a look at em.

Came here looking for information regarding headsets...thinking about getting a set...prepping for the day when I may finally race...

...overall, what a PITA and a crazy extra expense.

Looking through some local-track pictures on FB, and I think it's about 50/50 of those who use headsets and those who don't. Just talk down to your pit person, or is that a track faux pas? To be honest, I would feel more comfortable with a double-ear-muff design rather than a single-ear set. Unless you're totally deaf, you'll be able to hear the announcer's loudspeaker through the muffs despite both ears covered. It's quiet, but it's not dead silent. Save your hearing for another day.

For nitro racing 'just talking' isn't going to cut it with a full field of noisy cars on track or in pit lane. You can try yelling but even that isn't enough a lot of times. Of course you can use hand signals with your pit guy for tuning, but talking with the headset is much easier, clearer and more relaxed. The other big advantage of the headset is that your pit guy can be watching the track ahead of you and letting you know of any traffic/crashes ahead, where your competitors are at etc.

If you're racing somewhere that follows ROAR rules then it isn't allowed to have a double ear muff for the racer.

The SMARTcom headsets are better priced than some of the other options and have some RC-specifc features too including timers/refuel reminders. https://wbfactoryracing.com/collections/smart-workshop

Hello mushroomed and Friends,

As far as I know, IFMAR is allowing to use Double Ear Muff only for the Pit Crew. I don't know about ROAR Rules.

Cheers.. :)

Same rule for ROAR too, double headphone is okay for the pit guy but not the driver… if nothing has changed since the rule linked at the start of in this thread!
