AIM -vs- CDS
Posted: Wed Oct 07, 2015 12:26 pm
Looking for suggestions of what data system to go with (if any) for my G3 conversion...
I have not been a "data" guy in the past, but everyone tells me I should get it.
Typically I look at my analog gauges (temp/AF/voltage) on straits,
and my Trackmate for best lap, and + or - lap times out of the corners.
I borrowed an AIMsolo lap timer for the Runoffs and liked how simple it was to set up and read the info on the display. Very helpful, very simple. Made me faster.
If I get a data system I'd like something that will replace my analog gauges, is user friendly, I can build on over time and will lay data over video. No beacons. No batteries.
Also on the list is a huge warning light that you can't miss if bad things are happening to the motor!
Shut it down! Shut it down NOW! ha...
I looked at both their websites and they both look complicated and the video integration didn't seem so great on either of them.
If I get one or the other, this is what I'm thinking will be the benefit:
Monitor the performance/health of the vehicle.
Improve my race technique.
Reduce trial and error testing to speed up improvements.
Store data for archiving and comparison with other drivers.
I know this topic has been posted in other threads but could not find the answers I'm looking for.
Any and all input appreciated!
Thanks...
