AiM Dashes and SmartyCams

Rush SR AiM dash and SmartyCam setup guide — configuring overlays, creating custom dash layouts, exporting lap videos from RaceStudio 3, and downloading AiM config files.

The best content is on the forums for the AiM dash, data downloads, and using your SmartyCam.

These fantastic products work together as one unit. If ordered with your car, no customization is necessary for good results. However, if you want to start adding more data overlays or learning from your data, you might benefit from the following:

AiM Config Downloads

Rush Auto Works publishes versioned config releases on GitHub. Download the .zconf2 file that matches your dash and car type, then import it in RaceStudio 3 under Configurations → Import.

Custom Sensors

If your car has aftermarket sensors (fuel level sender, brake pressure transducers, etc.), you'll need to install the matching sensor definition in RS3 before it can read the channel correctly. Sensor files (.snsr) are available in the latest release alongside the config files.

Installing a Fuel Level Sender

Rush SRs with the optional fuel level sender use a custom calibration curve.

Already have a 6-gallon tank? The default Rush configs from the releases page come with the 6-gallon fuel sender already configured on Ch04. If you have your own custom config, use the AiM Config Merge Tool to pull in the sensor definitions without losing your personal settings.

If you need to set up a fuel sender manually (e.g., switching to the 12-gallon endurance tank, or starting from a non-Rush config):

1. Download the appropriate sensor file from the releases page:

   • 6gal fuel level sender.snsr — for the standard 6-gallon Rush SR tank

   • 12gal fuel level sender.snsr — for the 12-gallon endurance tank

2. In RaceStudio 3, click the Custom Sensors button in the toolbar (the fluid temperature icon shown below), then click Import and select the .snsr file.

The Custom Sensors button in the RS3 toolbar.

3. Open your configuration and go to the **Channels** tab. Click on **Ch04** (Fuel Level).

1. In the Channel Settings dialog, set Function to "Fuel Level" and click the Sensor dropdown. Select Custom, then choose the Rush fuel sender you imported (e.g., "RAW 6gal Fuel Sender").

Selecting the custom fuel sender sensor under Custom sensors.

1. Click Save, then Transmit the configuration to your dash.

Adding Fuel Level to Your Dash Display

Once the fuel sender is configured, you can add it to any dash page:

1. Go to the Display tab and click on the dash page you want to edit.

2. Click on a display location where you want the fuel level to appear.

3. In the channel selector, choose A/D Channels → Fuel Level 6galT.

4. Click Save, then Transmit.

Adding Fuel Level to a dash page. Select the location, then pick Fuel Level 6galT under A/D Channels.
