This is a good lap counter except for one flaw that I noticed it has and if you have a cars with real bright headlights the light in the light counter cannot pick up the car with the bright headlights because the headlight blinds the laserlite in thee lap counter and it doesn't count the car to rectify this I painted the inside of the car body black and that did fix that problem not all cars does it do that just the ones with real bright headlights

I paid a lot of money for this product and it's already screwing up. it counts cars that are not there sometimes it doesnt count at all . I thought it needed new batteries , I thought that was srange also because they didnt last long if that was the case . but then I put in new ones and it was doing the same thing . so then I thought maybe the infered was being blocked or something and try to blow it out , to clear out any dust , but nothing seems to work . havent even used it that much so I will have to look for a better one like at the track I rent time , but that one is a four lane one ,I sure hope they make one for two lanes or I'm SOL . I dont recommend spending $60.00 or so give or take it was right around there . but not happy with it's performance thank you for your time have a nice dayRead full review

I am running AFX HO slot cars. I built a stand for the Carrera from foam-core board, since my track is on medium pile carpet. I have found the right height for the track above the Carrera base (little more than 1/2 inch). I run the cars thru it from the rear of the unit, which seems to work fine. My only concern is the on-off switch. It seems like I have to turn the unit off then on after each race. My concern is that this will wear the switch out relatively soon. I would wish they would have incorporated a button re-set. But, all in all, this suits my (simple) purpose very nicely - it works! And I don't need a lap top connected to dead sections of the track, special software, etc.

This works great for what it does do. Which is simply in comparison to what could be done at a similar price with today’s technology. What I wanted they don’t make. Creating it would still be simplistic, inexpensive, more useful and engaging. With today’s advances in technology, these should have advanced design and abilities. I would have designed it to turn off power to the track at the end of timed race, stopping the cars on the track. At which time you would change your car to the next lane and race a second heat. The winner would be the combination of both heats total laps and position. This would at least match the racing experience you would get at a commercial track level, creating a better racing experience with a sense of achievement.
