Transponders

[Grundy]

I was thinking of buying an AMB Transponder from ebay. Just wondering if it will work with the lap counting system at the track. It looks exactly like mick's. Is there much point in me buying one of these, if my tx doesn't have a lap display??

Hi Dan,

The personal transponders (PT) pug into your reciever in the car and that's pretty much it. Any AMB transponder will work.

However, you may find it better to prioritise the purchase of some tyres, tools, shock oils before buying one of these..... just a thought

Also, there may be a couple of second hand ones available in the club as some people are upgrading to the latest spec micro transponders - could save you a few quid.....

You might do yourself a favor and not worry about little things like your transmitter (tx) displaying your laps, as what the track's computer system says is the only thing that matters. Concentrate instead on driving clean laps, repeatedly, and you'll find you won't need to worry about how many laps (or how fast the rare one was) as all that matters is leading the pack behind you.

And instead of buying a transponder off eBay, I'm guessing you're looking at someone's "used" one (they're getting a fortune for used transponders on eBay, and I just don't get it), to save yourself some money and aggrevation and look into a MRT one.
They make clones of the AMBs and work great, are half the price of an AMB, and are located in the UK so you should be able to receive it quickly.......... http://www.team-mrt.com/

That's alright, I blame Mick for most things.

I've said this before.

If I'm the cause of most things then I must be god!!

Just going by logic mind you..........
