Some New Electronics (Part 1)

So we needed some improvement in the electronics segment on the track car, Levin AE101. In came shift lights, rev limiter and communication devices. Kookaburra Racing tested the new electronics during the RCA track day.

Reviews as below.

Micro Dynamics Shift Light with External LED - DSL1

In brief, this Micro Dynamics shift light is easily installed. To setup, all one needs to do is to rev the rpm till half intended RPM for the lights to come on, and push the blue button till the red light blinks and it's set. The bright red external LED was installed into the dashboard meter cluster.

It is easy to see during track as the LED is bright. It'll come on red solid at the intended RPM and once the rpm passes 200-300rpm, it'll blink till one shifts.

Easy to use and very helpful especially during the heat of the race. An item, every race car should have!
