MYLAPS Personal RC4 Hybrid Direct Powered Transponder

This is the one to get. The new 3 wire MyLaps RC4 will not work with a decoder running anything but the latest firmware - which coincidentally does not read MRT transponders. As a track owner, I will not upgrade the firmware as it would alienate any of my racers running MRT. I get why they did it - to kill the clone market - but at the cost of local track's business. The two wire RC4 Hybrid works great on ANY PT reading AMB timing systems, both before and after the MRT killing firmware update. It is smaller than the older AMB's and has a strong signal to the decoder loop. As others have said, wires are stiff, but they seem to hold up better than the original AMB transponders. Best transponder on the market currently IMO.

Excellent performance! If for any reason you are getting irregular lap recording, check the polarity of the plug into the receiver. It will "weakly" ground to the signal pin and not always send a signal when you cross the sensor. This will be when you have it in the receiver in reverse polarity. Remember, black wire = negative (-) pin.

so glad i bought my own transponder, so much easier and you dont have to hassle to get the rental one back in its spot. everything is great but one bad thing is the wires could be a little softer but thats not a big deal. love it i would so buy another one

I got this Transponder for My SWORKZ 350 BE-1 EVO Buggy... It came Highly recommended by the Track Employees @ my Off-Road track & I did not want the Issues with A RENTAL Transponder & the $10.00 Monthly RENTAL Fee my Track Charges all season long OR if you don't want to pay the Fee each month You got to take the Transponder out of your car @ the End of the day Racing & that's a pain to do after a day of racing...

This Transponder Powers-up every time when the On-Off switch on your car is turned on for your radio equipment... I like how the small RED LED Light on Top Of the Transponder Flashes to let you know your Transponder is working...I also like that this Transponder plugs right into a AUX / 3rd channel plug on your RX The Transponders wires are a bit on the stiff side wished the wires where more easer to work with So you have to be careful how you route the wires & not try to bend the wires too far... LAP after LAP this Transponder LOG's Each & Every LAP & Times on my buggy... I would recommend this Transponder to anyone that Off-Road Races on a daily weekend basis like me...

The only negative I have found (like others) is the wires are a bit on the stiff side. This thang is tiny compared to my old one lol! A transponder is a must if you are going to be serious about racing.

Works great for all tracks, haven't found one that didnt support it. Never had one go bad. Compact size is a plus also plug and play. Serious racers this is a must to have.

Great! I have installed one in my truck and buggy and one in my son's truck. I mounted them with a piece of Parma servo tape (that stuff holds wicked strong if you heat it with a heat gun briefly before application). No more borrowing house transponders and they all have at least 30 races on them with zero failures of any kind. The wires are a little stiff, and it is really hard to get them in and out of the holders (we don't use the holding bracket and instead mounted it straight to the chassis), but most hardcore guys will get one per car if they run multiple classes anyways. A great trick to do to move them from car to car easily is to simply use a little square of Velcro, which holds strong but is not a pain like the bracket it comes with. People talking about it not having an LED are not hooking it up correctly or are talking about a different unit. The Y logo on the top flashes when it is connected to power. Small, light, effective, reliable, and tough!

i bought one and was switching it throgh all my cars on race day, well eventually the wires will break from that. so buy one for each car. the bad thing is when it breaks amb will not reply to any emails for repairs. i would rather get the wires fixed rather than buy a new one. like i said buy on for each car which is what i will be doing.

Works great and smaller than the older AMBrc Transponders

only thing im concerned with is the wires are quite stiff compared with the old amb type transponder hopefully they dont break as the seem to be single stranded, only time will tell -//- i have one of these and it has a flashing red led right in the middle of it , i run mine out of the holder and its easy to see , might be harder through the holder but im sure its right where the logo is

What's not to like? More versatile, smaller and less money, 'nuff said.

Wish the speedhive app would show ur results. That sucks that it's only good for registering transponders. Product is good

The product is as advertised, very small footprint and couldn't be easier to install. My local track has no issues keeping my pace and I can't wait to try some other tracks around the country.

Worked flawlessly! I just wish they were a little less expensive. The price of Entry to be able to race is so high that it's no wonder the hobby is dying. I have quite a few race vehicles and I'm not willing to buy one for each vehicle. So unfortunately I have to now move them during races. Amain did a great job as always getting me my product as quickly as possible.

Working as it should be. Easy installation. Very small in size.

Excellent product.. works very good. Amain has fast shipping and are excellent people.

Everything as as advertised and used it on race day with no problems. The only grip is that the wires are very stiff. I think the wire is solid and braded.

I drive a 21.5 2wd buggy at intermoutain rc raceway and I’ve never had it not track a lap. It counts the lap every time. If you are just practicing and not raceing, when you just set your car down and start driving it decodes the transponder and starts counting lap times. And eventually when you race the track owner will put your name into the computer system and it will say your name and not “unknown driver” and if there is a screen to watch lap times it just says the number that’s on it. Or if you get it set up it will say your name

Great product I recommend to others to use thank you very much

Placed an order for 3 of these, paid for overnight/Next day air, plus speedy order processing. Took my order 24hrs to even get processed even though I got all the payment confirmations. And the “tracking” info on ups said label created the entire day after placing the order. It took two days to receive the order, and to top it all off one transponder was DOA. 2 out of 3 functioned properly, the third wouldn’t even power up and was tried on 4 different receivers. No light, no lap counting…..
