Hi Jean,

Sounds like the AX22 would be the choice for me then. Especially if it can track lap times decently. According to the website, the package includes:

CF card + reader I can fix on the side. Is there anything else I should get while I'm at it?

Thnx for advice!

Everything you need is there. A couple of tips.

If you might be using it on a race car some day, you might want to buy the battery pack in case there is no lighter socket, or if you are using, say, a lipstick camera that also needs a power supply.
The RPM sensor is a nice add on. Get the storage box, expensive for what it is, but very practical to carry the tool safely.
Have fun.

 

Here in sweden most people use the Driftbox or performace box,and they work perfect....

I have never heard anyone complain about they work bad on the track...Check on rejsa there is alot of talk on them

 

Thank you Rickard, will look into that also.

 

I am sure they must be checking out drift angles instead of racing lines, Swedes never enter a corner in straight line anyway. Or ..maybe they are slow drivers? Except Magnus that is, because he is a Rennlister

My eyes don't lie to me (yet) the lines were off by quite a few meters when comparing laps, showing me I was driving on the grass in quite a few turns, while I wasn't, I swear.

The new performance box doesnt have drift angels..

Obvius it didnt work okey for you if you are sure you was on the track..

 

We used to be good off track, but it seems the Finns and the Norwegians got us by the ***** atm.

I think the term is "Curb Surfing..."

I'll be using it both for street and race cars, so thanx for head's up on battery.

 

That must be Hans Frisak and Son

I like that! No more " I missed the f.... apex" but rather "dude! I was curb surfing"

 

Guys,

I too have an unused AX22 w/memory card. Bought it and never got around to using it.


Cheers

I have a Performance box and it works well.
I have heard that if the antenna on the AX-22 is loose then u get skewed data. If someone in the states has a Ax22 I would be glad to run it side by side and put this dilemma to rest once and for all. Jean can do all the numbers.. hes the man

Mark any of these devices if used improperly can, and will give wrong data. As I said earlier, in straight line both of them seem as accurate. Fool with the tool, and both of them will show wrong data as well.

On the track, my experience has been that the mapping of the track and subsequent race lines were quite wrong with the DBox, maybe something was not properly calibrated I don't know, but again comes to show that none of these tools is foolproof, one has to use them as intended.

For someone who wants to go out on the track, from what I have seen is that the Ax22 has more potential. For a drag strip, the DBox seems more user friendly, and they are both as accurate.
