PT - What do you use

[mikeyscott]

I'm just interested in what PTs people use in their cars. I'm not interested in what is better and so forth.

[Cosworth]

Mrt....

My amb finally gave up after 6 years service so got the mrt purely because it's more aesthetically pleasing

[mark christopher]

mrt x 6 (but can only cast one vote) cloned to my personal number

had one go down which i think could have been user error, sent to mrt and thier 1st class service saw me with a new replacement within one week!

you can not get that with amb/mylaps

[RogerM]

1 original AMB, shared between all my cars, that I had to buy in order to be able to run 1/8th rallyX in about 2006 or so.

I actually left it unused for about 18 months as prefered to use the handouts until the rules were calrified on missed laps with PTs.

Hope I never have to buy another as it's been good this long, still on it's original lead and as I say gets swapped between cars as I only have one ... don't know what people are doing to kill them!

Really? a poll on PT's?

[fidspeed]

i own 4 gen AMB's in various states of condtion

i just pick them up when commercially viable

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Have an original AMB which I had cloned to a few MRT's and is still working today. Have one MRT that's not cloned and possibly one other.

makes good sence if his club is thinking of upgrading to rc4, and 1/3rd of racers use mrt, which could result in a loss of entrants.

just going on what op has posted prior to this...

[haggis]

mrt all the way, was the same price new as a second hand amb

Correct, market research etc.

Not a decision to be taken lightly.

Myself I use Harry PTs, but it's not about me.

The poll percentages are currently totalling 120.7% ......

Interesting poll, like you I am thinking of upgrading our club to the RC4, but the majority of our members use MRT's and until it is confirmed they work OK with the new decoder like you I am holding fire.

In reality I cannot see why MRT's will not work as the RC4 will work right back to the AMBrc Handouts (which we use at the club)

Rob at BBK will be using the Decoder in parallel timing at this weekends Rug Racers, so hopefully we have more info then

Hey, It's Mikey

Alas, It's a necessary evil that affects how we race, like it or not. AMB for me, the MRTs weren't around when I bought my PT. MyLaps want an arm and a leg nowadays so if I were to do it again, I'd keep the money in the country and buy British. Cheaper too.

[TARTMAN]

well. I have had both, but i have sold my MRT's and use the Harrys now, mainly they are small and easy to fit anywhere and unique, i had an MRT that was a clash, cant be having that!
So MyLaps for me now...... No more clashes......

interesting regarding the new system etc. and MRT's. Hopefully there all compatable....

it's coming down 119.81%

maybe Jimmy's upgraded the site to use a new decoder

[mark christopher]

Percentage is screwed as its a multi choice poll, so Dale has been able to vote for amb and mrt.

does not mean the percentages need to be looked at, just on numbers using each version a third roughly use mrt

[mikeyscott]

Rib me all you want, I'm not doing it for some bollocks post count.

It's about looking at what's out there, being used and so forth. Then what's best going forward etc.

I've had discussions with various people.

I like Darren have seen clashes re PTs. I'd like the best tech for the sport, but equally don't want to alienate racers.

As a racer I'd have RC4 tomorrow

[fidspeed]

chill mikey

its obvious the poll is nt totally accurate

your original post is however spot on and an excellent way of researching the viability of clubs up grading to RC4

kind regards fid

i think your doing the right thing by asking??

[lordnikon]

Right behind this 100%. Using an MRT and thats my only option, plus only really racing at TORCH I would need to know if they are going to work with RC4 or not. Would ideally like to know before renewing my membership as if they upgrade thats another £50+ on a transponder for the privilege of racing
