Features

The SPRacingTBEC is the only Race Transponder to feature a built-in 5V regulator!

Built-in 5v regulator (BEC)

The built-in 5V 1 AMP regulator means you don't need a seperate 5V regulator. Plenty of power for your FC, RX, LEDs, etc.

Range

Works at distances up to 5m, even outdoors in sunlight. Use more track-side receivers to further increase sensitivity.

Dual IR LEDs

Two LEDs allows you to position for greater intensity or for clockwise and anti-clockwise tracks.

iLAP Compatible

Works with the most popular transponder receiver system currently in-use worldwide today.

Highspeed

Uses a high-speed transmission to eliminate interference.

7-Digit code

Longer codes, compared to other systems, means you won't have issues with duplicate codes.

Flexible Form Factor

Mount using 30.5mm mount holes and stack above your FC. Or remove the tabs, heat-shrink it and use velcro to mount as appropriate.

Flexible Power Options

Power using 2S-5S Lipo OR power from existing 5V supply, you choose.

Suitable for racing clubs or pilot ownership

Flexible design allows racing club owners to fit them with standard 3 pin cable for use on race days.

Race Transponder

As you fly around the track the transponder continually transmits your unique code via IR. As your aircraft passes the start/finish timing gate the track-side receiver records your lap-time.

  • Compatible with iLAP receiver systems, as used by by most racing clubs worldwide.
  • Two LEDs which can be used for a wider transmission angle or clockwise/anti-clockwise tracks.
  • Reduces your overall cost for a race-ready air-craft.
  • No fiddling around trying to fit transponders in a hurry on race-day. Just turn up at the race and have the race officials scan your transponder and you're ready!
