Wireless Telemetry and Advanced Data Recording for Model Cars/Trucks
FIND OUT WHAT’S HAPPENING
ON THE ROAD!
Whether you drive on the track or the street, with nitro
or electric, with our Car Data Acquisition products, you
can stop guessing about your vehicle’s performance
and condition, and find out what’s happening on
your vehicle, after the run or in real time! Simple to
set up and operate, our complete systems install easily
to provide recorded and wireless real time data at your fingertips!
We offer two key products for RC Drivers:
Our
Seagull Wirelesss Dashboard (patent pending) system provides up
to 15 parameters of data from your model LIVE, conveniently
displayed on the scrollable pages of our LCD Data Dashboard.
And, audible beeps can be easily programmed for high or
low alarm values on the data, letting you set alarms for
critical system parameters, like low battery, high temp,
high RPM, and so much more!
Note that the Dashboard system also includes the below
Car Data Recorder for in-vehicle logging.
Our
USB Car Data Recorder system is perfect for those
who only need to see their data after the run, but not
in real time. The tiny onboard unit records up to 11 channels
of data from your model, and comes with Windows software
for download, playback and graphing.

on model and accessories), TOTAL. Other systems weigh
much more.
Small self-contained LCD Telemetry receiver attaches
simply to your radio, or is monitored by your pit
crew. No laptop needed at field!
On-board components are powered from your receiver
battery – other systems require heavy, cumbersome
batteries to worry about.
65536 unique transmission IDs (programmable) means
collision problems are extremely unlikely at your
site.
Fully programmable audible alerts can be set on
data parameters.
Dashboard is a USB peripheral: plug the receiver
into your laptop while to get full screen live display
and unlimited recording on your laptop!
Ultra-light stainless whip antennas.
