Grenit Performance RC AudioTimer 3.0

Grenit Performance of Stockholm, Sweden have introduced the RC AudioTimer 3.0, for use with any type of RC car. The product is intended for training purposes and is a lap timer which not only stores the lap times for viewing on the computer, but also speaks the driven time through the user’s head-phones after each lap. The basic idea behind the RC AudioTimer is that whereas other lap timers provide similar functionality in recording lap times, none of them inform the user directly of their performance while they’re training. This means that it is very hard to adjust driving styles and car settings according to the lap times recorded by your device. What was lacking, in short, was an easy way to monitor lap times while the last lap and car adjustment was still fresh in your mind. The RC AudioTimer 3.0 provides that feedback, speaking lap times immediately through the attached headphones.

Schumacher have announced this new Core RC UDC30 Universal digital charger. Following on from the hugely successful UDC20 this is a rapid charger with high performance microprocessor and specialized operating software for multifunctional operation.
