This setup is awesome!! Going to pick one up in a bit

Nice, thanks for posting :)

Bought last week: very very impressive, the best product i think !
At the end a interesting test versus mylaps (myRCm) !
Just done by myself :

I watched a few of the videos and it looked like you were having some issues with it tracking all the laps. Did you manage to resolve that?

Hi Erbinator,

Transponder is wateresistant, LapMonitor is not, few water drops on it is ok but if raining raining it needs to be under a some kind of roof.
Driving on wet track track it is ok as only the transponder may be be exposed to lots of water

Transponder needs to be facing a clear body area like a window (that can be slightly tinted) or a hole to get good results. It may works trough painted body (mostly in indoor track) but we don't guarantee this
We're currently designing some holder to easily install the transponder on the cars. Some are already available on 1:10 buggy and few 1:8th buggy
Lilke this one for B6.1

A very simple way to install the transponder on most 4WD brushless 1:10th and 1:8th scale is to install it on top of central diff

interested in this, how has it been when using it in offroad dirt conditions?

IN general what exactly happens if two cars cross side by side?

Hi here is an exemple of multiple car crossing side by side

Regarding offroad dirt, LapMonitor was used to time with success last year and this year national Turkish championship for buggy 1:8th nitro and brushless. Most races of the champioship are on dirt track

If your car is covered with mud it won't work but dust is ok

Testing with MiniZ transponder

Big track test








Home track

It is miniz transponder by lapmonitor?

Yes. I don’t know if they are for sale yet. I was contacted by LapMonitor after asking about MiniZ transponders in early January.

soon guys, go to the lapmonitor website. I can't post the URL (newbie)

I’d haven’t looked since February. My two work great. With the Evo they can be plugged in directly. With the brushed I had to get them wired in.

Wonder how much this is gonna be. This is awesome

Just ordered one of these systems for the backyard track. Seems like a great deal compared to some of the other competitors out there, complete systems costs as much as the mylaps transponder... Anyone else still using theirs?

I use mine almost daily for MiniZ.

Billy,
Is that a video of a track you threw together?

That’s the only “dirt spot” I’ve really got. I started cleaning it a few years ago. Back in spring when I wasn’t working I got it down to actual dirt. Unfortunately when it rains the area floods bad. Maybe this spring I’ll get back to it.





I’ve used the LapMonitor for on road, MiniZ and this off road attempt.

I get it! You gotta do what you can do with the space you have. However, the City Streets Division called and they want their signs back. :lol:

What kind of bluetooth range are people getting? Mine seems to lose connection and end the session at ~18 feet.

Grey ABS sheets with velcro are a great way to go for transponder mounting. You can cut and bend the ABS to shape for a mounting bracket and then attach to the vehicle and transponder with velcro.

Testing

Hello, here are example to install a LapMonitor transponder on Traxxas Slash stock body https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...1/16/1f44d.png

Sorry to dig up such an old post, but I just recently got the Lap Monitor here and I cannot figure out how to set a Race by a number of laps rather than time.

Am I just crazy, or is the only option just guessing a random time and letting it run?

There’s a lap setting. It’s come up here before. I’ll try to get a picture

That would be much appreciated, I cannot seem to get rid of the "Heat duration in mn" no matter the "Heat type" I pick it seems.

It is by time only. The previous post I was thinking off was trying to do 1 minute races.

I run 5 minute hears

Wow, what a let down this thing as been. I honestly cannot believe a device exists to tracks laps but does not have an option to race by a set number of laps.

I don’t think any of them can do that. Since races are done by time. Not by laps.
