Macro-Level Instrumentation Solutions

Engineered to handle extreme environmental demands across a wide variety of motorsports and automotive industries.

Professional Circuit & Track Telemetry

For circuit racing where fractions of a second count, our SincoTech digital panels deliver real-time RPM, wheel speed, water temperature, exhaust gas temperature (EGT), oil pressure, and lap times via ultra-bright shift light indicators. Configurable thresholds enable flashing alerts for oil drops or overheating, keeping engines running safely at their limit.

Off-Road, Dakar & Rally Racing

Dust, mud, and hard impacts degrade electronic instruments quickly. Our SincoTech rally series features IP65 waterproof seals, silicone-mounted internal circuit structures, and ruggedized housing to absorb high G-shocks. Paired with robust external sensor kits, they maintain accurate readings during off-road and rally stages.

Marine & Extreme Environment Crafts

Humid, high-salinity air quickly corrodes automotive components. We modify our instrumentation units for marine projects by treating circuit boards with anti-corrosion conformal coatings and sealing the glass panels to prevent internal condensation, delivering steady performance under harsh weather conditions.

Flexible Gauge Cluster Combinations

Enabling customized cockpits tailored to specific driver needs and space constraints.

Every racing platform features unique cabin geometry. While sports coupes benefit from all-in-one digital dashboards, customized off-road trucks or drift machines often require physical arrays of supplementary instrumentation. Our design framework allows you to pair our central LCD dashboards with standalone 52mm or 60mm gauges in whatever arrangement you choose.

Because our devices utilize standardized signal calibrations, sensors for water temperature, oil temperature, and oil pressure can be split to feed both a central dashboard and physical secondary dials without signal drift or interference. We offer custom instrument pods, A-pillar mounts, and dashboard surrounds to simplify integration in any vehicle configuration.
