Anyone heard about this?
New model of the Ultralap:
* Support for true split times -- multiple transmitters may be placed around the track and intermediate times within each lap will be recorded. Our transmitter will have an additional switch that selects between "start/finish" and "split" -- you would set up one transmitter in the start/finish mode and any number of other transmitters around the track in split mode. The Ultra-Lap can tell the difference between the two because a different frequency of infrared pulsing is used. The "start/finish" frequency will still be compatible with AIM devices. The "split" frequency will not trigger the AIM devices.
* Thinner receiver (box with display) -- .65" thick as opposed to 1.15" thick. Much less bulky up front.
* All 3 boxes (I/R receiver and transmitter in addition to main receiver) are machined aluminum. Previously, only the main receiver box was aluminum -- the other two were plastic.
* Records ambient temperature for each session.
* Tracks may be picked from a list -- so you don't have to re-enter a track name when you are switching from one track to another
* Displays average lap time for each session.
* Lower power consumption for longer battery life. Uses one AA battery instead of two AAA batteries.
* Improved infrared sensitivity.
* USB download cable as opposed to RS-232. Self-powered by the USB cable, so it does not require the bulky and clunk power transformer.
I"M IN!!!!!!
When will they be available??
I was looking to buy one anyway, I guess I'll wait. :-/
I also was looking to buy one come april..
Is it april Yet? ???
I am a dealer and yes new version end of January.
I already have the original one but having a better sensitivity on the IR seems to be a feature that was needed. I don't know if it's been bad luck or what but both my brother and I have missed a ton of lap times and sometimes full days due to the receiver not picking up the beacon consistently.

Pricing (receiver only)? Group (say, 4 or more) discounts for racers?

Can we get away with just buying the receivers??

I would have thought so - both Mychron and XT sell theirs separately now. Chances are someone is going to have a sender at any of the events I attend, so for now I'm not going to bother. And the UltraLap works with the Mychron senders.
Yes you can get just the receiver. I do have a deal for racers. They have not said anything about a price increase but I will have to wait until it is released. Change that I'll find out Thursday.
I will have them if you want them..if you can get hold of me this week and order them now i can give them to you at the old price....706-236-9338 we are also going to have our store open next week for anyone in N GA area...
Since this is an XT thread anyways, has anyone else had issues with missing laps (and I don't mean just an occasional one) wile using the XT with a Mychron beacon? I sent an email to XT stating that we are having problems and there first reply was that we should be using there beacon instead of the Mychron.
well that would make sence...if it is an XT timer use the beacon for it..if it is Mychron use the one for it...otherwise they would have the same type...
Yes, but they advertise compatibility with the Mychron beacon. Maybe they should say "Once in a blue moon you will get lucky and actually get lap times while relying on a Mychron beacon." The other puzzling thing is that others at the track are using the XT's and I haven't heard them say anything about it, though I will ask them next time out.
LOL....mayeb it will work out ;D maybe it was the weather ;D
Um, I feel left out...
I haven't heard of XT. They have a website for their product?
I have most of the info on the site at www.sportbikemadnessracing.com
look at my site...and go to the store and lap timers and you will see... www.2centsracing.com
lololol beat ya to the punch. ;)
lol....you suck.... ;D oh well either way..BTW our store will be open in Rome Ga next week
You could also try www.xtracing.com if you are just looking for info :).
:P our shop is closed for renovations in north western NJ. ;D
The Ultra Lap works fine with the MyChron IF, I say IF, you put an external 12V battery on the transmitter and switch it to the 60' scale. Also should be on a tripod or fairly level with the sensor on your bike. Ultra is sensitive to placement, but works fine with the MyChron transmitter if it is set up as above..
