Hey guys,
A buddy of mine had some problems with his brand new Sphere TC glitching/surging. To make a long story short, it glitched into the wall, he continued to run it, and ended up dragging the on/off switch off. I'm pretty sure it was the speedo, as he changed to a different one and the glitching/surging went away. Now, he wants to sell it for next to nothing and I was thinking about buying it. Where do I send it too in the U.S., and do you have any idea what the cost might be?
Thanks!

LRP Comp Sphere ?
I have a LRP Comp Sphere with the heat sink and a fan. I can run a 13.5 motor without any issues, but when I try a Novak 5.5 or a older LRP X11 the speedo seems to shut down every once in a while. When it does this sometimes I will still have steering and other times the entire system is dead. It doesn't seem to matter when during the run that this happens, sometimes early in the run and sometimes later in the run. When I temp the motor and esc they don't seem like excessive temps, the motor is around 130 and the esc is right around 100. This is a older version of the Comp Sphere, should a person be running a cap with this? Any other suggestions? Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked before.

Trying to see if people has posted this related question. But no luck so I will ask here. Did anyone compare the TC spec with GTB in terms of the punch setting? I have been out run by some people using TC spec while i am using the GTB. The other guy appears to be able to have more speed and pass me on the straight as if he has turbo. I realize that gearing may have something to do with it but should not be that much different. For those who have used both, when paired with Novak 13.5, does the TC spec give more punch or overall speed? Thanks.

I could run my 5.5 in my Lazer with the older Sphere Comp (with the small cap) with no problem. I just had the heatsink on (which I could probably even remove as it doesn't get that hot) and no fan. You need a process of elimination. Do you have another car or ESC to try the motors on? Try to narrow it down to either the motor or ESC.

hi guys, i have a brand new LRP Sphere TC ESC and was setting it up with my radio ( 3PK ) problem is when i'm setting it in brake it wont work. no problem with setting it in neutral and thottle but only when i'm already setting it for brake
already tried using different receiver and radio but the problem still persist
i was suppose to use it with an LRP 4.5 brushless motor
any of you guys encounter this problem with this ESC
thanks

If you are setting up this car with a new profile on you TX, I have to think that verndog and jdearhart have just solved your issue.
I couldn't have said it better...LOL

I have a questions guys
I just bought a eagle racing motor cooler (like the blue LRP one) And then a much more high rpm fan for it, because I have read the stock fans are no good
On my LRP TC sphere can I splice into the on and off wire so I can have my car plugged in, and it wont turn on until I flip the switch, or should I go to the pos/neg battery wires? And if you can get one fan, can I also do the 25 mm fan that goes on top? Because the stock LRP one broke, and I just soldered it to the pos/neg, but I like being able to use the on/off switch
