The LRP SPX is 'da bong' for 17.5/13.5 motors and a 2S lipo. Many racers have switched over to it in NorCal for both TC and WGT.
With the IIC switching over to 1S (single cell) lipo this year, I am waiting to determine the best ESC for that combo. It may not be the SPX with the lower voltage pack. We'll see...

Well with the owner of west coast saying he would allow 2 cell, the SPX might be a good fit but what if? What if the 1 cell class takes off big and only a couple of us left in the mod class? I would love to have options as well to run 1 cell without having to rig the esc with another device. Tekin would have the software to update, but at a cost. What to do?

Ok in the market for a new esc and want to hear from all of you and find out what has worked for you.
Ok I know everyone is going to say this company is the best and so on but let's try to keep it neutral.
I have been using the Novak GTB for a little over a year now looking at the Tekin RS or Pro and LRP SPX. I'm looking for a smaller foot print, less weight so I can better balance my pan. Now If I go with Tekin, I would probably go with the Pro just because I can run a 3.5 if I wanted to. Though probably going to stick to 10.5 and 13.5 but would have options. The SPX can handle 3.5 and cost less than the Tekin rs pro. Anyways let's hear what has worked for you, your thoughts and recommendations.
Thanks in advance

gtb/13.5. i was amazed how the motor just turboed down the straight and kept on pulling. also you can program it on site without a laptop and Hotwire needed for the tekin. but from what i heard tekin is comming with a turbo boost patch and you can always update it everytime, but either one is good. other then you have to haul hotwire/laptop when using a tekin unless someone at the track has one , then shareing is good. cant go wrong with anyone. just buy both. lol

a few years back in a Touring car running 2s 10.5 I switched from the GTB to the ISTC and found I could go 4t bigger on the pinion and not have any issues with thermal shutdown which I was getting if i went just 1t more with the GTB.
So replacing the GTB alone will make a big difference.
Latest buzz here in Touring is the "Speed Passion v.2"

Pictures of my Gen X 10 ready to run now
Some pictures of my ride, with S9650 digital servo from Futaba and Como Xerun from Hobbywing with 8.5T motor.
Still waiting for the body to arrive and for the new nuts to change de nylon of the diff that got stripped on the first run of the car.
Hope you guys like I tried to make it as cleaner as possible.

I think they did make it for you Bill, because of this quote:

Disregard found your answer after your initial post.
Not sure if we posted this before; but, I initially had issues with the Losi shock that came in the kit. It was not very smooth in its initial action (specifically its first 1/8" of travel).
Someone told me to clean up the flashing on the piston and things would improve. It was recommended to mount the piston on my Dremel and clean it up using fine sandpaper. That took care of it.
Regardless, I still switched to an Xray shock with Associated springs. Even though I had not used either part before.

I am expecting to receive the new ThunderPower 5000 1S lipo packs later this week. Are you currently running Profile 8 with your 1S pack? Do you use the Novak booster board? Thanks.
