Amb problem on Ep 1/8 race?

Sounds like a problem with the track, not the transponders. For 7 of them to go bad at the same time seems pretty fishy to me.

But the gps can work?

The gas cars have their transponders mounted in the most optimal position if the transponder mounts that the manufacturers put on the cars are used. Many of the electric conversions don't have a dedicated mount for the transponders and they are placed in a less than optimal position which causes them the have an effectively weaker signal even though they seem to be working properly. Make sure the transponders are not mounted above an aluminum plate or CF plate, near the Rx or on top of the servo, and are mounted so they are flat parallel to the ground, not on their edge. All of these things will weaken the effective signal.

Most of the e-1/8 cars I see have the transponder mounted in one of the poor positions I just mentioned, and they work just fine as long as the tracks AMB system is working optimally. But as soon as there is a slight problem at the track, the weak signals will be the first to have issues which is probably why your e-conversions are having more issues than the gas cars.

Try moving your transponder out to the side above the mud guard rather than over the aluminum chassis.
