you can mount a personal transponder just about anywere on the truck, if your going to be using the tracks then you need a small hole in the body.

As Mich said. Except the instruction sheet does say tha it should be less than 15cm above the track, and it should be mounted away from metal or carbon fiber chassis, and it should be mounted away from the receiver.
And all ten sold, but maybe it will happen again closer to summer raec season.

No higher than 15cm. It can be lower. The loop that reads the amb unit is buried in the track. AND they recommend it be mounted horizontally (flat) relative to the track surface.

15cm. About how many inches is that? So where should I put a hole in my body and where would be the best place to mount a personal one?

15cm = You're a student right? Figure that one out.
Hole in body for loaner - dunno.
Personal mount - where it won't get beat, broken, fuel spilled on, or anything else bad.
PS: the wire on the personal is only about 6" (15cm) long so it needs to be kinda close to the radio box, somewhat.

Thanks. LOL
So the personal one plugs into the receiver?

Yes, powered from the rx pack but not plugged into the rx. Y harness after the battery pack. One feed to the rx, the other to the amb.
battery------>switch (or plug if you dont run a switch)-----> y harness -> one leg out to rx, other leg out to amb
Hope that "drawing" makes sense. When the rx is on, the transponder is on.
The track loaners are rechargeables.

Not knowing what your truck is wired like, I would hesitate to say. I was just messing with mine, and because I back feed power to my rx, I have the battery slot open on the rx. I plugged the amb in there and it functions correctly. So if the batt spot is open on your rx, attach it there and simplify your wiring. The amb has a male plug, like a servo.

It's going to be
Rx pack-----on/off switch-----servo extension------receiver.
I could replace the servo extension with the y harness and plug the amb into of the slots and the on/off switch into the other. I'll try "drawing" it.
I posted it.
