TestLogger Collector Mini

Finnish company TestLogger, owned by 2011 IFMAR Electric Buggy World Championship organiser Jussi Luopajärvi, has just announced the official launch of the TestLogger Collector, a product line on providing data logging equipment for RC cars racing.  Inspired by the technology used in full-scale motorsports, TestLogger Collector offers a range of tools and equipment that deliver many of the advanced capabilities seen in professional full-scale racing.  Whether you’re a club racer seeking an edge or a pro driver ready to push boundaries, the new TestLogger Collector Mini is tailored for those willing to put in the extra effort to uncover every bit of performance.  Developed and tested with real racers, the Collector data logging system is a handy tool for collecting and analysing data and that way improving your track performance.  Designed to fit any RC car from 1/12th scale pan cars to 1/5th size off-road cars, the modular system is easy to install and weighs less than 20 grams sensors included.  The Collector Mini is like what is used in full-scale racing but considers the specific needs of RC car racing. System is designed to be future proof and maximise the compatibility with rule books.  Collector Mini allows users to utilise the measured data to analyse the driving techniques or gain more understanding about car behaviour.  As an example, optimise your final drive ratio, measure your air time in offroad or compare data from different drivers to understand where the time difference is coming.

Testlogger data collecting and analysing tool

Testlogger data collecting and analysing tool

Better known as the organiser of what is regarded as one of the best World Championships to date, Finland’s Jussi Luopajärvi has been working on another RC project called Testlogger, a tool for collecting and analysing track performance. Starting with a vision for a better way to collect data from test and race days compared to notepad or MS Excel, this tool stores laptimes, setups, conditions and comments, with weather conditions automatically fetched for outdoor tracks while laptimes can be imported from Mylaps. The collected data helps to compare and analyse track performance of single days or in the long term from yourself or your racing buddies. A social sharing function helps spread the word with the public or your friends only, using the Testlogger feed or through private messages. A comprehensive archive function stores past setups with every set-up change being accessible while runs, sessions and notes can be tagged for future reference. The web based, and currently completely free to use, service is available here with a lot of new features being added all the time to further improve the tool.
