Trackmate Racing RC Lap Timing System
Переглядів 17 тис.9 років тому
The Trackmate Racing RC Lap timing system includes hardware and software components. The iridium infrared sensors are highly accurate as long as the lap bar is constructed properly. This video breaks down the components included in a kit. We also discuss some of the competitors: MyLaps, I-Laps, and Robotronic. Finally we breakdown how the technology works and compare Trackmates' infrared overhe...
Review Part 2: Losi Foam Track / RCP Off Road Track
Переглядів 7 тис.9 років тому
This is part two. We are reviewing the the older Losi Foam Track that I bought from someone else. They sells these at RCP Tracks and no longer sold by Losi. Links below. In this video we are checking out the smooth side of the track, dis assembly storage of the track, and the Latrax Rally and RC18T. This is not the newer RC18T2 but the older RC18T. The LaTrax Rally did really great on this trac...

This is part one of two, we are reviewing the the older Losi Foam Track that I bought from someone else. They sells these at RCP Tracks now which works out great. I recommend getting at least two of these tracks as it opens up a lot more possibilies for the track, but before you buy make sure you take a look at the track layouts and see is something else works better for you. After some minor m...
Review: 1/14 Tacon Soar / LC Racing Buggy / EMB-1H
Переглядів 24 тис.9 років тому
This RC car is a 1/14th scale buggy that is very similar to the Tacon Rally / EMB-WRC / Cavalry / EMB-DT. Many of the components are shared across the models. The very few differences between Tacon an LC Racing that I have seen are, branding of the car and electronics. Battery connectors used (I solder deans anyways). Body paint schemes.

1/14 Tacon Cavalry Review! Part 3: Final Verdict
Переглядів 9 тис.9 років тому
The final verdict is that this car is great! More recommended for intermediate to advance driver due to some more expensive parts that break, but if the parts come down in price or a kit comes out for just those parts I would recommend it to everyone. The Tacon Cavalry and the LC Racing EMB-DT / EMB-DTH are the same car. Parts are 100% compatible. Where to buy? NitroRC (Red/Green Body): www.nit...
1/24 Scale Losi Micro SCT Garage Race
Переглядів 41 тис.9 років тому
All the cars are Losi Micro SCT. We use a custom 1S2P lipo battery setup running at 3.7v batteries to control the speed of these monsters. Nobody does full speed in this video because, you crash and lose. The track is a Losi track, very similar to RCP, I believe they are compatible. I have 2 of the Losi tracks in the video above. I have some expansions that I haven't pulled out yet (won't fit i...

Regarding jumps, one thing I've seen done and I've also done myself is using the actual track surface itself as the top of the jump and lifting it from underneath, much like you would with a carpet track. Honestly, I kinda feel that RCP foam panels would be preferable to carpet for low-maintenance in-door off road, as while the surface has a good amount of bite it's not the stupid amounts of grip you see with carpet.
Do you happen to know how far the lap bar and the transmitters can be from one another? Looking to use this for electric skateboard racing and wondering if this might be a solution.
It's only about two feet. You could design a gate or multiple gates that racers drive through l__l where the transmitters are on the side of the skateboards and the receivers are pointing sideways instead of down. Otherwise you are looking at an RFID type system like one used by runners or gocarts I feel like this is one of the less expensive options but still pricy: www.vostokelectronics.com/product/tdcoderis/ Works for gocarts, I imagine it will work for skate boards.
Does this need subscription to operate?
I assume you are talking about the timing system. The answer is no. The track mate software is free. If you want to look at other software that works with this hardware check out Next level timing. It has a free version as well and it's great software. *Disclaimer: I developed Next Level Timing.
Hi, You are the one behind the great NextLevelTiming, right? It's the only linux app that supports both USB and serial Robitronic interfaces. I have both of them, but I'm missing cable for rs232 version and Robitronic company was unable to give me pinout. Maybe you could help me? (I guess you've also got both of them if you were able to implement them ;-) cheers
Yes, I wrote next level timing. I do have both devices but I don't know how to get the pinout. Do you have discord? Maybe you could walk me through it? discord.gg/bJxPxbUp
you can take a black spot like the window, rub off the paint and take a black marker if you dont keep the transponder
did you ever make the bridge cut out from pvc?
What scoring system?
Nice track man love it I should have done indoor outdoor carpet instead of the big indoor dirt track we built in my shop. I live way down south no snow but in my big shop I got heat and actuall HVAC system so in dead 110 degree heat qe race sct 1/24 scale on my big indoor dirt track and I have a carpet track for 1rc oval racing it's actuall rc racing black carpet and the way I made the wood track I was able to get the progressive banking correct so we have a decent size banked oval and I have a miniz road course as well in there all the tracks you can get wide open on booth straights on the oval for over half the straight and almost wide open all the way around since it is a banked carpet track the road course I have 4 straights that you get wide open on and front stretch is like a super straightaway you are wide open for a good 50 feet lol and into the big lolli pop turn I call it and I have a 1/24 scale analog slot car track on a 20 foot by 15 foot table on winches that lower from ceiling and has legs that fold down and lock in to support the track over the three tracks for rc on the floor. And it has 1,000 foot line is the shortest lane around longest is 1800 feet around and its 4 lane and we run purpose built brass pan chassis and use 1/24 scale model car bodies one them the track can be a big daytona type oval for nascar racing or a hige road course and a huge roval as well so much fun in my garage everyone loves it. And I do as well I can spend 12 hours in there playing and setting up cars lol
Thanks! I would love to race on that setup- it sounds like a blast!
@@EhrhartRacingRC dude I spent 12hours last sat in there with a few buddies playing and setting up cars but mostly playing lol
Hi sir How can we set up different classes of racing
I'm not sure you can using the trackmate software. I haven't used it in a while.
Is it 225mm wheelbase ?
Great review and nice track! Picked one of these up off of ebay for a reasonable price and I'm excited for it to show up even more now.
This was before it’s time... so much more popular now 👍🏾
I just scored one of these RCP Off Road Tracks locally. One kit is huge, I wish I had more room indoors for a second track.
I want to buy the lc emb truggy. Can you tell me about which site to buy these LC racing vehicles
www.nitrorcx.com/1elrctr6.html I think this is what you are looking for. Good luck!
Trying to decide between one of these LC Racing or a Team Associated Reflex 14b. Have you driven on of those also?
I have not. I not longer race 1/14 scale so I can't compare them. Good luck!
Was wondering what are your runtimes with the batteries you discussed? Thanks
Battery life can vary drastically between runs. Sometimes you are pushing the car harder, sometimes you are moseying around. Unless I tested the batteries outside of the cars there would be no way to compare them. You get anywhere from 15 minutes to 60 minutes on these batteries.
Are these the 30cm or 50cm tiles? If those are the 30cm ones, the larger 50cm tiles would probably be more suitable for faster cars.
50cm tiles. The 30cm tiles are tiny. I have raced on them. They required really good dexterity for the turns.
Hi so can you put the sensor in the pipe ?
Apologies, yeah I didn't really clarify that. You would have to cut large gaps into the pipe so the sensor can see out. You probably don't want to obstruct the vision of the sensors a sun but unless the rain is blowing up at least then you could prevent that. Or if you did water proofing with clear lexan and sealant around the wholes that might work.
I have had issues with the carbon shock towers literally splintering in half, but have had no issues with the spindles
Looks perfect for Mario kart live home circuit
Did you ever do that review of the Mini-Q 1/28th on this track , I cannot seem to find the video. I bought a Losi track + jumpkit after watching your very detailed videos !
Sadly I did not ever finish the review for that car. It is an okay car, it drifts a lot. I have moved on to mini-z which are so much fun to drive at this scale and on these tracks with the right setup. I've contemplated about making some newer videos but UA-cam killed my motivation when they killed ad revenue for anyone under 1k subscribers. I was making enough to cover the cost of the music and a few other things I needed to make quality videos and they just flipped the table :( I'm glad I could help you make some decisions :D
Nice review! I'm looking for a 1/14 scale buggy myself. Is there anything swaying you in one direction or another from LC racing or the Tacon models? Are they basically the same cars?
They are both manufactured by the same company. As far as I'm aware they are the same cars. I got what was available to me.
Hello @ehrhart racing Do you have an ESC for the losi 1/24 Brushless spektrum version ? My ESC Burn 😔 Please write me back
That merv has no chance against the tacon, and its more expensive! That goes to show how good the tacon is for the money.
This looks like a blast sweet setup!
Now has the Lap Monitor.
Im gonna do the fpv
awesome video!
How wide do you need the track to be for 14th scale cars? 4 feets, 5 feets? I'm wondering if I have enough room on my yard for a track
Yep, I've busted rear spindle on 80% throttle drifting into curb....replaced w/ aluminum spindles & hubs front & rear. Broke front cvd coupling, replaced with dog-bone & hub.. worn a hub, wheels turn too sharp& bones will slip out.... turned down servo trim 👍🏾 holding so far... the durability, or lack thereof has surprised me....my sons reflex 14t has only broken a spur gear
Amazon sell the Tacon series. Wish I shopped around, RCX had them for &219..... got the Bulwalk from Amazon for $279
Is the dune buggy stock?
Super cool how the green car used the ramp to avoid a third of the track!!!
is this club still around?
nice video. how do you set low voltage cut off?
wrenching is my favorite part lol, awesome video thanks!
Anybody know how this compares to the ae reflex??
They're both great truggies. I got Tacon truggy and 8yr old son the AE AE truggy. Run both on 2s and AE has been more durable, but I've bashed mine harder. I tone down his throttle to about #4 though. I installed my 2.0 buggy wheels/tires on the AE & it's in between a MT and race truggy! I'm a fan of AE, RC10T was my 1st rc car, and own all alloy T4... the tacon is good, I really love the size as I'm able to bash in my small backyard & race on small indoor tracks too. Either truggy, you won't be disappointed 👍🏾
Great. Very good review. I just boyught one. I hope it comes with the newer spindles. Parts are hard to come by (it seems) and nitrorcx doesn't have the best reputation but we'll see. I was willing to take a chance as everyone says good things about this model with 2S power.
Very cool. Great for rainy days
Please MOD the JJRC LT832 finally a losi micro t CLONE!!!
What is the length of the shocks?
Wow what a late comment. Is it water proof?
Wesley, not when I bought mine. I doubt they updated them to be waterproof.
Good info. I went through similar research some time back. It’s a lot to take in when you’re first learning about it... are you still happy with the Trackmate setup? I might be getting this for a local 18th scale track. Thanks
Yes I'm still happy with the trackmate setup. We use it for 1/28 scale miniz mostly now but it works great for the larger scale as well. I also use the iLap system at our club which has the same performance but I think it slightly more costly. Orange Lap RC makes cheapest transponders and probably equipment but I have yet to try it. It is the same technology and has backwards compatible transponders with the other two systems. I have some of these transponders for the iLap and they work. I use both systems because I'm building software that is compatible with both. I am releasing soon and if you are interested in beta testing a download will be available soon here: nextleveltiming.com/ ** The download buttons won't work for about another week as I'm still working on a few things but if you contact me on that website I can shoot you a link if its not available when you make your purchase. Good luck!
@@BlaineEhrhart Did you create Next Level Timing???
@@Bmr4life late to comment, not sure why I didn't get notified. Yes I built next level timing.
Great video!! Where do you purchase the carbon fiber shock tower mounts? Is it possible to source parts from the Losi Mini 8? Thanks again!
havoc010101 I doubt you can switch many of the parts of the car with losi except common parts like wheels, ESC, bearings, and electronics. I use to get my parts at www.nitrorcx.com/25cparts.html And sometimes atomic on Amazon. It might help you to know this car is also known as the emb-1 Here are the part numbers www.rctech.net/forum/showpost.php?p=12890683&postcount=322
Hi sir. Can it operate on gasoline rc boats?
Redzall Reduan I would imagine you could create a waterproof lap bar. I would hit up track mate and ask them if it's been done before
Blaine Ehrhart . Great! The waterproofing issue is manageable. Does the water droplets does affect the sensor reading? Or we might end up with a lot of angry racers..🤣
Sorry for the lack of response, I didn't see this. I would imagine they don't as the sensors can shoot through a thin layer of paint. You are probably just going to have to ask the manufacture what the deal is here.
Standard or metric hardware?
Metric
Nice. A new ROAR spec class, lol.
