Sorry Joel, I missed this post. Keld is correct that we should use resistors with the LED's or they will burn out at 4.2 volts. I don't think a capacitor would do anything other than keep the lights on for a minute after the battery died. I haven't spent any more time on them, but I'm sure they will...

Your track looks great Wes. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

Thanks for the photos,

The reporting is very nice, the software automatically saves the races and accumulates the whole days races in one report as a .TXT file.

Looks very cool,

I would tend to agree with Erik about the Patto's quality, I have purchased a few bodies and would call them poor at best. The decals I bought were half tones (made of small dots rather than solid colours), not what I was expecting. Tamar, I have seen Milan's work his cars look great!, but will they...

What about an adjustable front end like the Slot.It HRS2? It is not restricted to holes but finely adjustable.
