sean-vrs Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yes this is a funny looking 5ive lol, TX pack was dead so I popped the Baja on.its fully adjustable can run 4 - 9 rollers depending on what car is used, working out if I can get a taco fitted to gauge speed.

If ther is could that work on this. Optical tachometer (usually just referred to as tacho) last one I bought for work was about £20 and came with a roll of reflective tape, you would need a stripe from centre to edge of your wheel/tyre.
