i was told earlier that the V3's often toast them selves like the GT7's sometimes do, is this a common problem with V3's?
any solutions that i could give a go?
thanks

What are you impressions of the V3 as I am considering getting one. What sort of price are they? As The details wont come up on centrepoints website.

i got mine from KRB for 80 quid, you can also get them from apex now to.
they have a life time warranty to so if mine does turn out to be faulty i can get it fixed/replaced
the good things i find are
no setup button (so connect your electrics up and it just.....works
)
no shottky needed, got one built in.
no power cap needed, got one built in to
if you want, i will try find teh instructions/leaflet that comes with it and copy out the info on there

ahh well, thought id type it anyway.
here goes
foward only racing digital speed controller
high power capability- No motor limit
anti element- race even in the rain
auto frequency control- max power/long duration
voltage (optimum)- 5V-15V (i think this is the BEC rating, not sure)
BEC-battery elimination circuit
built in shotky diode-extends motor life
low loss FET's- 0.0001 ohms per FET
i know it doesn't say it has a built in power cap there but i have been told my several people it does
it also comes in this little plastic box thing that can be useful for other stuff

grrr...i keep forgetting things
when i ran the yoko SD in the manual it said to place the reciever next to the esc/servo etc.
i did and in one meeting i got interfearance.
i put it on the top deck and interfearence had gone.
but the thing is i haven't had any interfearnce with the pro4 (apart from last sat, but i am beginning to wonder if it was interfearance. maybe my car???)
anyway, thanks for the help so far

Cheers for the info.
Does it mention anywhere what the bec output is?
I need to know if it will happily run a servo at 6volts?.
Also does it run the same sort of softwarre as the LRP comp 2 etc where it senses what frequency to use so you dont have to programme any profiles?

Hey guys. I just want to know what size 48db spurgear i buy for my pro4.
I thing it`s time to change spurgear when i`ll drive asphalt where is some dust and dirt.

Straight from the Robinson Racing site:
http://www.robinsonracing.com/tips.html
Question: I am currently running 48 pitch gears and I know the tooth sizes that perform well in 48 pitch, but I want to change to 64 pitch. How do I convert the the number of teeth on gears from 48 pitch to 64 pitch?
Answer: Good question. The short answer is: take the number of teeth on the 48 pitch gear and divide that number by 1.5 and then muliply that answer by 2. Here's and example:
(81 tooth 48 pitch) 81 ÷ 1.5 = 54 x 2 = 108.
The answer of 108 will be the tooth size to use in 64 pitch. In that example we get a whole number after converting, 108. Not all of the numbers will work out this cleanly, lets take an 86 tooth gear for example:
86 ÷ 1.5 = 57.333 x 2 = 114.666.
We need to round this number off to the nearest whole number, 115 (a common 64 pitch spur gear size).
Just reverse the equation to convert 64 pitch to 48 pitch. 108 ÷ 2 x 1.5 = 81.
Therefore:
96t ÷ 2 * 1.5 = 72t 48 pitch

i have run a KO 6v FET, and a 7.2V FET servo with it and it seems to work fine, no problems yet:

I got mine from Rainbowten.. but
Speedtech RC has them in stock...as well as Tower.

i am running a 72tooth spur on my pro4, seems to go ok..
and a few others i know are running 72 also.
it seems to be similar size to the 96 one that comes in the kit

Thanks Tres and raving I just got one 72th spurgear from my FTTC3.
I think, i order 74th also what is near that original 98th

Im trying to figure this thing out Ill let you know what I come across. Right now Im not too confident it sucks when you only have time for one pack a day.
