Senton Making a lap timer (getting creative)

[Mr.Vylan]

I'm new to the hobby and have already immersed myself way too deep.
I started out purchasing the Senton 4x4 BLX 3S and started making upgrades immediately.

• Spektrum RC DX5C 5-Channel DSMR Surface Radio
• SR6100AT Receiver
• DS3225 25KG Coreless Digital RC Servo
• Pro-Line Racing 3307-60 Chevy Silverado 1500 Clear Body (custom painting and decals to match the Ivan Stewart vintage racing body)
• Apex Body Clip Lanyard Retainer W/Silver Aluminum Mount
• 12mm Aluminum Wheel Hex
• DuraTrax Lockup SC 1/10 (12mm)
• T-Bone front/rear bumpers

As you can see, I've invested time and money into this, and it's only my first couple of weeks.

So, here's the story. I wanted a lap timer. Spent countless hours researching options online. I finally figured out I can purchase the Immersion RC LapRF Personal Race Timing System, designed for drone racing, and simply place the FPV camera/transmitter in the car and it would recognize the vehicle and trigger laps. Voila, It worked.

If I get enough interest I will create a post with all of the details and results of the project. All I have to say is that I was impressed that it worked and ultimately did exactly what I set out to achieve.

Now, onto the ultimate FPV system.

Thanks for listening.

No pics?

I was waiting for a response to see if people are interested in the lap timer set up. I'm happy to post a tutorial.

RE: The aftermarket body
I need to wait until it is complete before posting pics.
