Makro Racer 2 ( Test Series 1 - Basic Round 1)

Multi Machine Test Series Videos

Over the coming months I will be putting many machines through their paces starting from basic to hard tests. Each machine will have to go through identical tests in fair unbiased tasks.

The 1st basic round consists of 10 tasks, I feel many machines will breeze this and some of the lower end models will score between 3-6 and the higher end models will hit 10/10 what they are already doing in the videos placed up so far below.

Just doing minor adjustments on some models just to past these first tasks and will be pushing the lower end models as far possible without settings being used that would make the machines unstable in the field.
Machines in this round need a two way signal to score a full point in each task and not be to hesitant.

Coil size and price are very important and have to be taken in to account and remember these are just tests and results will vary around the worlds soil and situations.

With settings I will use any to pass this 1st basic round providing they are usable in the field as said.
Machines VDI numbers may alter in different locations and tests so long as the audio is correct that counts here in this first round.

If the audio don't hit right and the numbers are to low indicating saying iron then that will be a fail..... Long as the audio is correct over ferrous and non-ferrous it will pass even if displaying no or low or high VDI numbers.

As the rounds progress I will introduce hints and tips that might help you out in the field.

Will update this post with each machine video posted below hopefully a couple a week.

Should be fun and be interesting to see how machines deal with different scenarios.

The box is simple but brilliant. I plan to make two. Anyone with a Gold Racer needs to built one and that is why I will make two. Plus you can stack one on top of the other for really deep testing.

Good bench testing there mate . Nice set up . Doubt there are many with as many hours on the R2 as myself at the min . I totally agree with your view that it's a great all round machine . Look forward to seeing how far it can go with these tests and maybe learn a thing or two . Cheers bud .

I think this machine is similar to xp deus but xp deus beats this because it is lighter that macro racer 2

Any chance of testing a Garrett Euroace?
Not because I have one now but its where many people started in the hobby and it would be interesting to see how it fares against those machines that cost just a couple of hundred quid more?
