whats the options?
Ive seen a few but cant find anyone in the UK with them for sale
what are people using that they can give an honest review on?
Im trying to get better and want to get up the track and practise more, but be nice to know if changes to car and lines etc are actually making differences
cheers
pocket pit is the way to go with a iPhone

iphone... never had one of them :( so now I have to buy one LOL.
wonder what my daughter has spare, sure she has one she doesnt need anymore :)
something on android on with its own display would suit me better, seen the zeppin system, that looks ideal but cant find it in the UK

just found an app for android £24 quid but it will let you use pocket pit with android phone :)
or theres the zeppin system
pocket pit looks like its easier to use to be honest
will let this run for a bit and see what peoples opinions are
10th buggy, plan would be on the straight, flattest part of track and where car likely to be squarest to the receiver

Ok so a bit of an update.
Theres an app called timing beam for android looks like its 24 quid for the app. But if i understand correct it works with zeppin and pocket pit.
But it also allows multiple transponders so you could run a race with a couple of mates on one of these systems.

Have you used it with 2.4ghz rc cars? It does look like an interesting piece of kit.
