That throws me off, 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
Check Kennon hobby, I know they sell the easy lap system. I see a lot of home tracks use it to. I have noticed a lot of guys have the wire rigged with small PVC pipe above the track, the part that is confusing to my is that most look like they're damn near 12" above the track surface.
I'm in the middle of selling a bunch of 8th and 10th stuff and plan on buying myself some RCP and the easy laps system but my wire halo is going to be about 4" above the track.
