This App has been created by an RC Cars and slot cars hobbyist (myself) that had a need: I wanted to know my lap times when practicing in my local club but the expensive Timing System was not installed. So I created RC Timing. RC Timing is an App that tracks lap times for radio-control and slot cars. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor tracks. This App is not intended to replace your club’s timing system. It is thought to help you in situations where you want to practice and the local timing system is not available. It uses the video camera for tracking the car colors and it offers an easy and intuitive configuration. - RadioControl and Slot Racing cars - Manage different drivers/cars/tracks - No human interaction is required - No external systems are required - Training mode/Race mode - Voice synthesizer (you can connect your iOS device to a Bluetooth speaker) - Track up to 10 cars simultaneously - Store all registered lap times - Show basic statistics - Designed to not drain your battery - Both Practice and Race sessions supported - Detailed guide explaining how to use it - Export lap times to CSV - Offers graphs for better performance analysis - Support for car classes - Pitstops

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MC3000 at none against RC Timing's 5. MC3000 also leads on rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). RC Timing's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 34%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

MC3000 holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 33 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of MC3000's written reviews are positive against 67% of RC Timing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MC3000 ships an update every 3 months, RC Timing every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
