    That's what I have been trying to figure out and the only way is to run a system and go hunting lol--they run Lidar a lot in the summer up here, just I have no clue as to what--that's the reason I went ALP because I don't want any surprise guns smoking me--matter of fact I'm about to go for a cruise to the valley and see if I can find something lol.

    Maybe its becuase im in the valley but i have only ever seen lidar a handfull of times being used and only in the summer, a couple speed traps in anchorage (APD) when they use to have there motorcycle enforcement and a few times on the glenn hwy (AST) eagle river speed trap area. I have no clue what there using either but i am guessing they dont have the lateset and greatest stuff, just a guess though. I am going to continue with my LI for a while anyway, hopefully it will work for the stuff we have up here for now and possible upgrade to ALP or if LI comes out with something new. Maybe between the two of us we can figure out what there using, i was only ever hit once going thru Eagle river and i was in traffic not speeding and didnt make out the voice alert before i killed it.

    That would be awesome, love to test it out. I get home on May 1st from this work shift and plan on putting it on the road then, i only work 1 week in the month of May so maybe we can set something up.

    I see you have a Nitro buggy/truggy--have you raced at the rc park before?
    Yep, live in the Valley and work in Prudhoe. My son and I did try racing at the park a few years ago. He started to drive pretty well for a beginner but i crashed to much, we gave up just becuse it was such a long drive for us to come in to town to the track. We still bash them from time to time, i have an eco kit for my Mugen yet to install to give electric a try.

    Thanks,

    I have not heared of this brand until just a few days ago after joining the forums and catching up on things, its good that the industy is improving. Just too bad i didnt research this any sooner before spending 3 full days on my install lol, oh well. I sure could have used a shorter sensor last week when i was "moddifing" my Shelby grill haha. I am not sure what our threat is up here and with my driving habits i dont see many threats but its still nice to have some protection thats known to work. I might need to make the switch at some point if i find mines not current these days , who is the us distribuitor of these/where to get more info?
