Hey Guys,
I am looking at future upgrades to my Mini-Z stuff, and the biggest thing that I have problems with, other than my driving skills, is using the phone type lap counting apps for the challenge. The 2 I have tried work almost flawlessly outside with my Reflex 14th scale, but the room that my track is in is dim and during a 75 lap run they will miss 3 or 4 laps or it will false count a lap or 2. That throws me off trying to make sure I'm driving where the app will read vs. the best line for the course, and I wind up bouncing off the walls!
So I am wondering how accurate are the "EZLap" type IR systems? The only transponder system I have used the wire under the dirt type, and as long as the laptop it was hooked to was working, it was flawless. Are they worth the money, and if so is one brand better for this scale?
Thanks for any help!!! Drew
