Splitting the ARC Pro from the track wold be simple enough. That probably will not happen until there are third party apps that prove BETTER than RCS64, that only work with ARC Pro. I don't see any DRAWW members begging me to put the ARC Pro in my track, or switching to ARC Pro for their own track. If it ever comes to be that this is possible, I just might make the effort to do it, but it will also require some kind of motive for me to do so. I don't think that a direct swap can be done between the ARC Pro and APB with the same set of sensors, but I don't have the expertise in electronics to examine them to make an educated guess, nor do I have the confidence to simply try it and see. I also configured things such that I could put in a stock APB if needed, or use my split APB as originally constructed. I've since 'upgraded' my portable track with the ARC Pro, and decided to just leave the base in one piece (though I did have to change the direction of travel and reverse polarity on one lane to get around the asynchronous power bug. I even had another guy in the club check it over, who is better with wiring/electronics than me, and he couldn't find any issues with that, either. No idea how or why the base itself won't count laps. I did have the high amp mod done to my original one, but have decided that it's not necessary enough to do on the others, and have been running APB without that mod since the original one lost the two controller ports. One completely untouched, one split but with two bad controller ports, one split but doesn't count laps in one lane, and another split and fully functioning. Since that one couldn't be used for six car racing, I hacked apart another APB, and it's 100%. It counted laps fine on all my lap counter track pieces, including my main track. I verified this by re-connecting my original APB that had a couple of the control ports die.

It was, in fact, the base itself that lost its ability to count one lane.
