Eirewolf Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Where can i get a transponder? do you guys buy or rent them? thanks, cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA Jim Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I bought mine from my Regional Director, Ryan Flaherty. You might try your RD or Ryan. It made sense in the long haul because it pays for itself in less than two years compared to rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racercosmo Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Pegasus also sells AMB transponders, they're about $260 last time I checked for the hard wired. Definitely get the wired version instead of the rechargable. http://www.pegasusautoracing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eirewolf Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Just called Pegasus racing, their hardwired transponders are $295 each. I am going to get one this week, I believe. cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paisan Posted December 29, 2004 Members Share Posted December 29, 2004 Are transponders "universal"? -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racercosmo Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 How do you mean universal? I have used the same transponder across the country for NASA, SCCA Club Racing, and World Challenge. Another source is Mark Wilson at On-Track Performance. He is an AI race in the Ohio/Indiana region. http://www.on-trackperformance.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA Jim Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Are transponders "universal"? The transponders everyone is talking about are the AMB Red transponders. Any event that uses AMB timing (almost all amateur roadracing) will be compatible with any AMB transponder. Each transponder contains a unique serial number, so you never have to worry about someone else having your number. I'd say AMB transponders are about as universal as you can get, if that is any answer, but you should check with your local region and track to see what they use.

krisko Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 The cheapest place I've seen for AMB transponders is pca.org (Porsche club of america). Click 'club racing' and you should be able to find it from there. They sell them for $250...supposedly take 4 weeks to receive but I got mine in a week. This only makes sense if you area member of the PCA since you have to be one to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkd Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just to update... Florida SCCA sells direct powered transponders for $283 (incl. shipping + sales tax in FL, NC & NY) to any SCCA members, nationwide. (PDF form) PCA members can use the order form on this page to buy a direct powered TranX260 for $285, including shipping. Retail prices are around $315 (On-Track Performance) to $325 (O.G. Racing & Pegasus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
