This full-featured timing and control system offers everything a serious racer needs: vibrant display compatibility, race sound effects, multiple race formats, and ultra-accurate lap detection. Whether you're running a home track or a club circuit, TrackMate delivers rock-solid performance. This system is pre-configured for most analog or digital\/analog hybrid setups and includes all key components for a reliable 4-lane race management system. What’s Included: TrackMate SCL3 USB Interface 10' USB Cable Sensor Cable 8\" Overhead IR Bridge with high-intensity infrared LEDs (wide enough for 2 Carrera 1\/24 lanes) Relay Module for track power control Jumbo Pause\/Restart Switch Mini Relay Panel – Solder-free wiring USB Flash Drive with current TrackMate software version What You’ll Need (Not Included): A Windows PC with available USB port A few feet of 16-gauge wire for connecting the relay and track call button Light bar support. We intentionally do not supply a bridge or gantry to support the TrackMate light bar. In our experience, the standard TrackMate bridge is not a great solution, and—more importantly—there is no single “right” bridge for all tracks.  Bridge choice is highly personal and depends on two key factors:  Appearance – scenic realism vs. purely functional  Durability – how crash-resistant the structure needs to be  🛠️ Ultra-Robust \/ Damage-Resistant Option  The most bulletproof solution we’ve used is a simple, shop-built design made from:  Two solid wood uprights  Two strips of aluminum L-channel supporting the light bar  It’s not fancy, but it’s nearly indestructible and ideal for clubs, rentals, or tracks where cars will fly. I’ve attached a photo of this style so you can see how straightforward and effective it is.  🌄 Scenic Bridges \u0026amp; Gantries  If you’re after a more realistic or decorative look, we strongly recommend Slot Car Scenics. They offer dozens of bridge and gantry designs, ranging from modern race gantries to classic scenic bridges—plenty of options to match your track’s theme.  You can browse their bridge and gantry selection here: https:\/\/www.racetrackscenics.com\/#\/ I am replying here as external links are not permitted in reply to HungrySquirrel's eBay message. The full owner's manual is included on the thumb drive sent with your unit. The TrackMate software runs on Windows and can be tested in demo mode without hardware. Full features require the included TrackMate hardware for live timing and power control. 📖 Installation instructions: TrackMate Manual From the Seller I’m Jim Cunningham, slot car racer and track builder with over 50 years in the hobby.
