1) Quick description : 

RfLapCounter is a complete timing system for RC cars that allows sessions or races/rallies organisation.

It is intended for outdoor and works on all track conditions (dusty, muddy or sandy) and in every kind of weather (sunny or rainy).

This kit has been designed for training and unofficial races. It is not compatible with the AMB/MyLaps chronometer or the I.R. system.

Operating mode : When the car crosses the detection rod, the transponder sends a RF signal to the decoder located on the edge of the track.

                                   The lap time is then transmitted to the software (PC) or application (Smartphone).

                                   Several 'USB' or 'Bluetooth' decoders can be used simultaneously with a single detection rod.
