Features & Capabilities

This App has been created by an RC Cars and slot cars hobbyist (myself) that had a need: I wanted to know my lap times when practicing in my local club but the expensive Timing System was not installed. So I created RC Timing.

RC Timing is an App that tracks lap times for radio-control and slot cars. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor tracks.

This App is not intended to replace your club’s timing system. It is thought to help you in situations where you want to practice and the local timing system is not available.

It uses the video camera for tracking the car colors and it offers an easy and intuitive configuration.

User Reviews

RC Timing provides solid timing once calibrated, especially for solid-colored cars and home setups. Its strengths are adjustable color detection and indoor/outdoor use. Common drawbacks include setup complexity, lighting-dependent color recognition, limited multi-car race support, occasional device compatibility issues, and unreliable lap counting in some scenarios.

Pros

Accurate timing once color detection and thresholds are calibrated.
Works well with solid-colored cars and Mini Z, making home/garage tracks practical.
Adjustable color-detection settings (tolerance and trigger level) to tune performance.
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use (garage, home track, backyard).

Cons

Color recognition is highly sensitive to lighting; white cars in bright light can fail to be detected.
Setup and calibration are time-consuming and not intuitive.
Limited multi-car support; cannot easily add or drag multiple cars into a single race.
Occasional device/OS compatibility issues that can break features or audio.
Lap counting can be unreliable and may require very close camera distance to count.

Was looking to add timing for my backyard off-road track, didn’t want to spend over a grand for friends and my kids to drive so I started looking into apps. It took a bit to get this calibrated right to recognize the cars, but once I did it’s been great.

I like the app so far; I haven’t done a thorough test and setting camera car colors seems to be a little hard to get right but I’m figuring it out. I’m a little confused on some of the setup but overall seems very efficient at doing what you need it to do. I have purchased all the in app purchases to help support this team. Some features that I would love to see - Formula 1 style Starting Light Sequence when beginning the race - It would be nice if you could have Driver profiles and could then attach different cars for each event to the driver. I have a lot of friends playing and we all take turns picking different cars. So it would be nice to see driver 1 and then could add car 1 and then the next race we could switch and say driver 1 is driving car 2.. then it could keep track of the driver history and race results.
