Yeah, The company that made this box don't make them anymore. But I have a way to make something that works like it if you want to know how e-mail me from my youtube home page or get me on facebook Shen RC. Thanks for watching.
❤ it just like to say thanks . This came across my feed the other day. I immediately went and ordered 2 . Can't wait till they get here . Thanks for sharing
Your welcome they work great there was 11 of them left on amazon now they are all sold out!! stay tuned big race is coming soon and the first time racing with the counter it was flawless and worked awesome!
Just found this on Amazon, exactly what I want, no mess just count the laps. I'll be buying two and mounting them, probably will cut them down so you don't have to elevate the track, going to put on a professional four lane club track. Concerning eating batteries, hard wiring a power supply should be easy. Thanks for the video.
Cool! Yes the batteries will die I hooked one li ion 18650 cell on mine it will last for ever on one of those. Thanks and please check out our new slot car channel BS Slot Cars
Follow-up, there is no way to cut one of the sides off so you could have it on a four lane layout so for the pro circuit tracks they're a no go. There's photo eyes in the uprights that face upward at an angle and even with removing them and trying to mount under the track with a hole drilled in it there's no way to do it, the photo eyes not only face upward but at an angle and the signal is bounced off that angled plastic in the center to the receiver on each side so no way to cut so two units will fit over four lanes. Now if you seperate the lanes (which most pro tracks never do) then you could use them staggering them.
Hi maybe re mount them straight up and down at each other over the lanes 4 upwards in the track facing up near the slot at the ones you relocate in the top section pointing straight down at each one in each lane? may have to make some new add on section for the top part to do it?@@brownfamilyracing-j4c
Hi can't you take them out rewire them into the track and into like a extra plastic strip above the track and point them up and down at each other I think I could do this but I don't know how good you are with stuff like this.@@brownfamilyracing-j4c
A year ago, when I was searching for a lap counter I saw this one and was not sure it might work, so I bought the Carrera one you have because it has times besides counting laps. Is a shame that neither Round 2 or Racemasters have made a similar lap counter. The closest thing is that expensive Drag Strip Gate and finish combo that Round 2 makes.
Yeah somebody should make a easy to use counter I hate the carrera it's nice but they could have made it work better. This cheap one for how we race it's 100 times better than using the carrera one I am so happy I got one and got it to work. Thanks for watching.
Adding to my Amazon order! I need help! My new AutoWorld slot cars are so sluggish out of the box. Can you please give me some tips? All your cars run so smooth and so fast! Thank you!
COOL! autoworld cars are not the best quality. all I can say is break them in on like 3 to 4V with the cars rear wheels off the ground for like 20min then oil them up and make sure you oil the bottom of the motor shaft with a super small dab of oil and oil the top of the motor shaft also axles gears you know and then they should run better. ditch there tires buy some silicone ones also for them. Please check out and sub to our NEW slot channel BS Slot Cars all the actions over there you don't want to miss out great races!
Hi I do know about SVR I am subbed to him and sometimes stop by but with my channel I go crazy can't get to everything all the time. Thanks@@shawnhurley8737
Hi thanks, I run at 18 and 18.5v, Alot of it also depends how flat and straight the track is and smooth I prepare my tracks and fit them so it's 100% a perfect fit I then grind all the tab lumps off the tracks and tweak the slot ware the tracks join if they are uneven and not smooth and I will also grind down the tracks ware they join if there is any lumps or higher tracks when then both join together. It makes for a super smooth running track. This makes the cars run much better,
You may be able to trim off the bottom legs but better thing to do is countersink it into your table if you don't want to raise your track up.@@TonyBudi
@@TonyBudi I cut the uprights off the counters and had no problem counting laps with HO cars but be careful and not cut the LED's that are on the bottom of the legs.
Hi they probably have to relist it but look here and also sub to our new slot car channel BS Slot Cars www.sdtoyz.com/product-page/tracer-racers-digital-lap-counter
The batteries die out fast, I hooked one 18650 cell on mine to run it. but they are cheap worth buying another one I guess if it breaks..also please sub to our new channel everything going on over there! BS slot cars
Pretty darn cool. If it had a timer it would be fantastic. Great find, thanks for showing us.👍👍😎🇺🇸

Use a photo timer for the power of the track, that's the classic way to control power for slot car race tracks.
I love how you guys are diving knee deep into this slot car thing. The lap counter is a great addition. Can't wait to see more.!!
Yeah they are fun! More to come!

That is a nice counter those guys move
Yes it works nice and these things are screamers!
Simple piece but a very helpful and useful piece to add to the track! Works very well and a really good price for it!
Yes indeed! You can see it very easy too! Thanks for watching.

the photo eyes are at angles, they have bounce off the plastic angle in the center, there's no way, they don't aim at each other

I bought one of these a few years ago. Works great and the base is LEGO compatible if you wanted to build something under it.
Very cool! Thanks

Hey on Monday night's need to stop over Slot Valley racing his name's Dan we all talk about ho cars
Hi I do know about SVR I am subbed to him and sometimes stop by but with my channel I go crazy can't get to everything all the time. Thanks@@shawnhurley8737
I got one of these after watching your video. It eats batteries for lunch! Needs a power source or cheaper batteries.
Hi you can probably just run wires out and run larger batteries to run it.
cool lap counter
Thanks it works great!
What voltage are you running your cars at? I'm assuming they're Mega G +, but mine are nowhere near that fast, or stick to the corners like yours do.
Hi thanks, I run at 18 and 18.5v, Alot of it also depends how flat and straight the track is and smooth I prepare my tracks and fit them so it's 100% a perfect fit I then grind all the tab lumps off the tracks and tweak the slot ware the tracks join if they are uneven and not smooth and I will also grind down the tracks ware they join if there is any lumps or higher tracks when then both join together.

Great stuff.would it work for 1/43 track size?
Thanks, It wont work unless you somehow carefully cut the legs off and widened them apart maybe and rewired the sensor.
@@ShenRCthanks for reply much appreciated man!
All that matters is that it works
Right on! Thanks
👍🏾

Thank you this thing works great!
They appear to be back in stock on Amazon.
Cool because they work awesome!! Thanks for letting us know.
Your amazon link for the lap counter doesn't take you to a lap counter..
Sorry it has changed since I did this video they have sold out of them all. Thanks for looking.
Can you tell me when you got to laugh challenge before you left slot cars and how much was it
Hi I don't understand what your asking? But check out our new slot car channel BS Slot Cars everything happening over there now.
Man that’s cool🧮🧮😀😀👍👍
Worked like a charm! Thanks
Why does the track need to be raised about a half inch where the counter is?
Hi it needs the track raised up a little so the cars when they pas break the sensors beam so it counts a lap.
@@ShenRC Or, could the counter be lowered a bit?
You may be able to trim off the bottom legs but better thing to do is countersink it into your table if you don't want to raise your track up.@@TonyBudi
@@TonyBudi I cut the uprights off the counters and had no problem counting laps with HO cars but be careful and not cut the LED's that are on the bottom of the legs.
link to amazon is no good anymore. it is no longer available there
Hi they probably have to relist it but look here and also sub to our new slot car channel BS Slot Cars www.sdtoyz.com/product-page/tracer-racers-digital-lap-counter
Mine stopped working. I might get another one.
The batteries die out fast, I hooked one 18650 cell on mine to run it. but they are cheap worth buying another one I guess if it breaks..also please sub to our new channel everything going on over there! BS slot cars
How did you rewire it; what wire goes where; can you explain? Thanks.@@ShenRC
Hi you have to take it apart and wire from the wires that connect to the battery holder built into the counter.@@mortonbeard2240
Any video's out there with someone doing it? Thanks.@@ShenRC
Sorry nobody shows how to do it in a video.@@mortonbeard2240
