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

Yes. The factory bodies on the 4Tec and Kyosho were blocking the signal. Both are thick compared to most tourng car or aftermarket buggy bodies. Since moving the transponder to the outside body. I’ve not missed any laps. A light painted body or leaving a clear spot for transponder is best bet.

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

LapMonitor transponder holder 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

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
