Mylaps and Bervoets (yep, the dutch guy who created Serpent with Ron Ton, the Ber in Berton...) deserve their success. Their lapcounting system was breakthrough. I have 4 AMB including one from the very first generation, and once you figure out how to change the leads especially on the transponder side, they last forever

I will admit I also have 2 mrt clones - the reason I bought them is because of absence of retro compatibility of the originals early transponders with the new loops. The newer loops don't see the old transponders... And that p!ssed me off. If I can't trust the original brand, then why would I bother... And the clubs are a set or making it a point to not upgrade the firmware....


​​​​​​I'm grateful to AMB/mylaps, still I think they started acting a bit too greedy at some point.

In a non-niche RC world, anti-trust authorities would step in btw.
