Gas Rigger Telemetry

[Peter Gise]

I am going to include telemetry on my gas Slingshot build. I started with nitro in the 90's, and settled on FE hydros and riggers for quite a number of years (still active).
This will be my first gas boat.
I have a receiver with one port for temperature...should I monitor cylinder head or exhaust header temperature?

Exhaust temp would be better if you are trying to use the data to tune with. Cylinder head if you want to be able to see if a water line comes off etc.

The leads on the temperature sensors for the HiTec Proton 4 are pretty short and I need to extend them.
Would it be better to cut and solder wire of the same gauge or build extension cables (but I can't find a matching connector)?
The HiTec connector seems to be the same connector as on my Sanwa telemetry sensors (which are also short).
The pitch on the 2-pin connectors seems to be 2.0/2.5 mm.
Anyone know who makes these connectors?

Those will all plug right into standard Futaba universal J extensions.

I'm looking for an extension cable with the small white connectors...I think they might be 2.0 or 2.5 mm JST.

JST connectors

Picked up a Sanwa TLS-01 Telemetry Logger System.
There is an optional PC interface transfer cable (SD-U01) and associated PC Management software.
Does anyone have a reference for the cable or a link to the PC software?

I have been using an MT-4 with telemetry for RC boat racing for years.
I recently acquired a TLS-01 data logger. I also managed to find the SD-U01 interface cable/hardware but I need the PC Manager software to load the data onto the PC and the download link on the Sanwa product page no longer works.
I also tried contact Serpent in Florida who apparently is now servicing Airtronics USA warranty products, but I can't seem to get a response.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Pete
