yeah very important to figure out how to marshall, they are one of the key components at a race.

[cemeb4dk]

No prob, just have fun and dont be worried, scared or embarrassed. We all have been there at some point. After all this is a hobby and MIch is runnign out of people to beat so he need new racers. I wrote that just to see if he will read this.. :wavey:

[Michowski]

i read it, and yes im running out of people to get beat by.

[squirrel]

TT, yes that is a personal transponder. Used ones on eBay fetch around $70. New generally go $80-90.

[kevinF]

hobbytown has them for around $60. thats what the hobby store dude said but he also said he wasnt a 100% sure that they are only $60. but he did say they are around that price range

[dentguy92]

witch hobbytown??????

[Tex]

$60??? he's way off

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

hobbytown has them for around $60. thats what the hobby store dude said but he also said he wasnt a 100% sure that they are only $60. but he did say they are around that price range

Buy all he'll sell you at that price !!! Heck, I"LL buy them at that price !! Which HT?

Seriously, TT, the guys here know what they cost. Do you think they would work on this deal with me at $80 if they could but it at HT for $60?

BJoe, what's the scoop here? (He works for HT).

[Biodragen]

Not trying to start trouble but I have seen them go for $60.
I saw it on another forum somewhere for 60 shipped new and other places.

Hobby town has them for that much all I did was so a search on transponder and this is what I found at the Crystal lake store but they are out of stock:
Pro LCS Transponder, Black Edition ORI36011

I dunno much about personal transponders with what works with what system.
Maybe it has to do with the make of them or a knock of version that I see them for $60.

I was considering jumping in on this but right now I don't have the $$$ for one nor do I know how often I will race to warrent one.

If I steped on toes here that was not my intent. Just passing on what I know.

[slim]

guessing by the part num, thats
for the ORION PERSONAL LAP TIMER SYSTEM...

I think I paid about $95 each from Als hobbies for the AMB's and I have 3 of them. When I first starting going to leisures, Bernie had a few for $75 each and told me Ill never find them cheaper...I never did...

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Here's FACTS I can share. I am buying, as can you, 10 new Amb's, directly from Amb, at $76 each. Their site will sell you a single unit for $89 (ask Mr. Tune, he did this earlier this year). At $89 they charge you extra to ship it. My bulk purchase of ten at $760 gets shipped free. I am passing these along at $76 plus $4 handling (becuase I intend to deliver most of them to the guys at the track or some meeting point).

The net result of this will be that I get mine for something like $40 instead of $76. Anyone else who wants to handle the middleman effort on a similar deal is free to jump in. As for anyone or anywhere else that wants to sell there same item at a loss, that's a good deal for the buyer. These units are certified brand new and will have Amb warranty and acopy of the bill of sale to go along with them.

I just wanted to get some "power purchasing" going so we all could benefit. Anyone who thinks the deal was bogus obviously didn't get in on it.

I think I paid about $95 each from Als hobbies for the AMB's and I have 3 of them. When I first starting going to leisures, Bernie had a few for $75 each and told me Ill never find them cheaper...I never did...

And as a wholesale buyer, Bernie probabaly got a few bucks off from Amb and he was doing a solid for his racers by selling them barely over cost.

How long ago was that? I remember Rocco lamentign about the same thing, that Bernie had them for $75 and then all the sudden they are $90-100. See thread "Personal Transponders WTF?"

[snakebite46]

Last year in december they were 75 at LH. January 1st they hiked the price on them. LH now sells them for 90-95.
