Love the ingenuity. "Penfold" Brian woul be proud. Sparkie brain talking, think I saw a neater and shorter run from the antenna to the radio. Similar to what you did already, but also use the floor reinforcement brace. Have fun this weekend bro.

Well done. I opted for wireless earbuds in my helmet and mounted a cell phone in the car. It works nice there is a bit of delay and if the call is disconnected it's hard for me to answer again lol! But I get full coverage even at Road America!

Yeah that's actually a super simple idea I like it! I'm finding mine works really well but it's not quite loud enough I'm going to have to have a play with it, I'm ditching my rear muffler for a straight pipe so that's definitely going to make it hard to hear!

I was going to comment about bending the pins but someone else has already doing that. Plug it in before you put your lid on... We have to fit a rally safe device which is pretty much a sat tracking system. They can send live signals from rally HQ warning of situations.. In car.. Stilo coms straight to our helmets. standard 3.5mm jack plug like the old walkman...Good luck with your up coming events ..have fun...

Yeah a few people have mentioned the pins but I've plugged and unplugged this heaps so far and had no issues, I'll be careful :)

Have used those before. Just watch the pins when using helmet connection as they can bend.

Hi there, how is the aerial working? The magnetic attraction to the metal is pretty important to the antenna system... the magnet created a capacative coupling to the metal of the roof which acts as a ground plane for the antenna. If you put the antenna closer to the middle of the roof youll have better 360 degree coverage. Where you have it, your RF radiation pattern will be a bit lopsided towards the front of the car because there is more roof in front of the antenna than behind. Cheers

Well there ya go! I genuinly didn't know that! The Arial has been pretty good although I lose coms into turn 1 at the island and going up lukey heights which makes sense after what you've said as these are the furthest away from the pits and the car is facing away. In saying that I'm not sure how I would route the cable to the middle of the roof although to be honest I may upgrade the whole system in the new year or start using the race control radio system as I'm often at the track by myself without a crew :)

My 5yr old will be starting Jr dragster this year. Do you recommend this setup to get him started on the track ?
@TheNuggetProject
@TheNuggetProject 10 ай бұрын
Honestly probably not, I had trouble getting it loud enough and it's a bit clunky. The good news is there are a heap of communication options now, I'm actually using my phone these days with a motorbike Bluetooth attachment, just a cheapo but works ok :)

Nice work! How much interference from other racer’s comms? How much from outside sources? Hopefully that new antenna will do the trick even at big tracks. Keep the race car content coming.

Hey mate, so far I've had no interference, just have to find a quiet channel to start with :) I did very briefly mention a feature where you can lock out other people on the channel, it allows you to talk to and hear a person with the same settings but not anyone else (although anyone can listen in) I'm not sure how to do that yet, I've got a mate who is a comms specialist who told me about it, going to hit him up today and ask him about it :)

Hey mate to be honest I've now ditched all this, if I do comms to the pits I use a Bluetooth motorbike headset in my helmet and call a mate in the pits who uses a Bluetooth headset. Costs bugger all and works well :)

Do you have required coms with the race steward? I’m an Excel speedway racer, and we are required to have a one way to the steward. Can’t have 2 ways to anyone unfortunately

Na we don't require comms at all, some states are trying to bring in the raceiver system so we can hear race control which i'm all for, but everyone is too scared to make calls and be liable.
