WOW! But how does it perform? Durability? Where are the specs, and price? Can it be repaired in the US?

The thing is tiny.
Our National Pro 10 Champ uses it and one of the best TC drivers now uses this one too, and he's very happy with it. It performs very well, very good brakes (not just powerful, but very programable too).
It switches off by holding the brakes down for 5 or 6 seconds.
I was surprised to see that robi recomends 9 or higher motors. I was expecting it to be similar to the LRP Quantum in specs, but it's a little below that.
I understand that Trinity represents Robi in the US. I don't know if they sell it there or if the service is good.
A very interesting alternative if you live in Europe (12T limit) because the price is very good. I saw it selling for roughly 100 USD in an online hobby shop in Germany. I'm not sure what happens on the US market with Trinity
And it's so cute....

Yeah, I noticed that later Troy. I went to the robi site anyway. Everything looks good, cept the resistance is about twice that of the Novak or LRP.

Next project-an "atom" in a BRP "DaBug"
That Robitronics speedo looked nice.9 turns is the limit? I like that optional software though.I don't know I think I just stick with Novak-never had a problem with em.
Has anyone tried that CS Electronics "CS Rocket" speedo?

I run the RocketMax in my Losi. It's a great speedo for me, all the adjustments I need without an external programming device. There is an optional PC interface for even more customization possibilities, but I haven't tried that yet.
The two features I like most about are coast power and variable drive frequency. The coast power is sort of like coast brake, only instead of brake it leaves jsut a bit of pwoer to the motor when you let off. I use it in stock class to help the car roll through the corners better.
Variable frequency when activated changes the drive frequency of the speedo in response to the speed of your trigger finger. Move the trigger in a slow smooth fashion and you get high frequency smooth response. Yank a bunh of trigger quickly and it shifts to low frequency for the most punch.

I personally have an old novak exlporer in mine.
Just curious

I heard there is problems for GM V4-6 on the micro being the throttle not work on those motor...that's what i heard...not sure...
Ya, you are right about the price....
I might just go and get the Robitronic spirit...HA>..

Which wire (+/-) first do you first pull out of the battery ?
Some says it's save to pull out the positive side first.

Comments on the new KO speedo with variable drive frequency - VFS-2000 . What about the Keyance Zero Extreme? I'm looking for a new speedo and are looking at these two as possibilities along with the CS Rocket.

But my GM V12 manual instructs to pull out the negative wire first.
I think pulling out the neg wire first will limit the current flows into the esc, since electrical current flows from pos to neg ?

Any of you guys had any experience with the Keyence ZeroV Extreme. I was considering one for next racing season, but I wanted to hear a little about it.
I know all the specs and all that. What I want to know is how does it perform in stock and modified. How hot does it get. Does it really work without a schottky or power cap like like Keyence says it does.
In general, just let me know what you think of it and if its worth the price.
The only problem I see with it are those horrible wires! Why does Keyence use those colors anyway?

hello, Manticore. i dont have the glitching problem at all! dont let Mars see this.. that ESC is his favorite... hehe
Darkside: it is a really good speed control, i don't use the cap and i dont have any problem. about those wires, they are made from pure silver or have more silver content than other wires. they are expensive, i think they are 9bucks for 2 one foot in a package. they conduct electricity better.. that is if i can tell a different
