Mychron 3 Gold, or Extreme (or a Plus if you dont care for track mapping).

I paid $200 for a Brand new, never used 3 Gold just a couple months ago. That was a REALLY good deal, but you can usually find them for around $350. Getting a new Mychron 4 setup with the same features as a 3 gold would cost $900+. And the 4 doesnt have the cooool shift lights at the top! Twisted Evil

Depends how deep you want to go with your data. Like Tim said, Mychron 3 Golds are excellent value for money. Speed\distance sensor combined with an accelerometer gives you the ability to create a track map. The MyChron 4 does a lot more on its own screen, histograms\graphs and things like that that the 3 does not. What you can review on the actual screen of the 3 is much more rudimentary.

Thats a nice deal. The 3 Gold will give you more data than you will know what to do with most of the time Laughing

Just my 2 cents. I've had both. On my old 125 I stepped up to a mychron4. Nice unit. The biggest problem I had was downloading data to race studio. Probably something I was doing wrong, but this year when I was building a new kart I went back to the 3 with ebox. Does everything I need

guys I am looking for a computer for the kart and have been looking at the aim and alfano.

I see several people who like the Mychron 3 Gold and extreme, I noticed these model are still currently being offered on the US site under auto.

As mentioned they can do much more than the mychron 4 which is kart specific. Is it mainly a cost issue why most people choose the M4?

I have been looking at the Alfano over the Mychron 4 based on the larger screen, but the M3 seems a direct competitor in that area.

The M3 gold has an Internal G sensor for track mapping, so then you would not need a GPS uning like you do on the Mychron 4 will you?

Also, with this information would I will still able to overlay it over an image of the map?

Another feature I like is the shifter indicator light. Anyone has used it and can tell me if it works on a go kart ?

By the way, I also like the M3 because I can use it on my car for autoX can I not?
