Transponder possition

[cAptainslow]

Another daft question by me....quite a reputation im building me thinks!?!:blush:

Where is the best place to fix a transponder in the Cat?
I dont have a PT but wondered where the safest place to fix a club transponder is? In the good old days we used to pin it under the wing, back then they were that heavy you could pull a wheely!

Cheers again,

Front window, will be fine there.

I mounted mine on a lexan folded bracket that sat on the top deck (to avoid cutting a hole in the bodyshell) Was OK until I fitted the transponder on it's side to gain better belt clearance - at which point it missed a few laps.

It now sits in the wing.

Si,

Built my car last night and just out of interest where do you mount your PT ?

I dont use a pt, so never really thought about it.

My PT is mounted on top of the top deck just behind the front window. Never had any problems with missed laps:)

My PT is mounted underneath the top deck - super stealth :lol::lol:

G, so is mine :thumbsup: Inside black heatshrink:p

Have to be a little careful mounting it underneath though, depending on where your receiver is, and which receiver you use. When i was running NiMh at nationals last year, with KO 302 reciever, with PT under top deck i had massive interference (i.e couldn't drive car in practice at southport!). On top of top deck it was fine. Just that 5mm or so move made a massive difference.

Now i'm running LiPo, receiver is a touch further away from front of car/hence PT and all is fine with it under top deck.

Mine is an MRT one so stealth as std :woot:

I did have mean underneath the top deck for the stealth look but change to top for easier removal to other car . Plus also like the reassurance of being able to see the LED on PT when switched on..:)

I'm using MRT one and it's placed on bottom deck.

About 99% of the PT's in Cats that I see are on the servo, mine as well.

A few guys have them on the top deck
