Portable Racing Transponder

Yeah, it's kinda big, but I have room in any of my conversions. As far as battery to charge, it lasts over 8 hours, which should be plenty for a day racing. Extra weight? Maybe in 10th scale 2WD, but for larger 8th scale b/truggies, a couple oz on a 8lb+ car is not gonna matter much. And I can easily detach the 'ponder from the battery case if a setup has easy receiver access.

My issue is that my receiver boxes are already pretty tight and usually requires moving wires around. And if I'm using two vehicles, that means tidying up the wiring in two vehicles when it is switched.

No biggie, I didn't think this was gonna be a big hit. But maybe someone might find it useful.

I like it Brian! Good stuff.

Nothing like finding a good use for a 9v battery.

I have a few of the lipos out of a pc battery laying around. I was wondering what to use them for, but I think they will be made into a pack for my newly acquired nintendo ds. It has a lipo in it already, so it must have a cutoff too. Plus the lipo cells were free so who cares!
