No problem, I haven't tried my 13.5 with it yet. So the 100 spur will be a good start. Start out with 0* on the motor since the 13.5 put out good hp. If you have any more questions you can ask my friend, his profile name is Timmie, he has been helping me out with my ratios. Like I said he is fast with his 416.

This ESC continues to perplex me. I put it on profile 8, and geared my DUO2 13.5 around 6.2 (timing half way between middle and full) and the motor screams down the straight now. It's kind of screwing up my timing at the end. Our straight is just shy of 100'. Motor comes off around 150F after a 6 minute race, and I'm running a 25mm fan on it.

Hey Syndr0me, you might want to go up 1 tooth on your pinion to see if you can get the timing to kick in sooner. I had the same problem, my car was fast but by the time it kicked in, I was 2/3 down the straight.

Trouble
Hi, I'm having some serious trouble with my spx. Ok I raced it to day in my oval car with 1 cell lipo, novak booster, yes its on nimh mode. In the first qualifier I was running very well the second fastest out there. In the second qualifier just as fast until I took a nasty hit and noticed the speed dropped drastically. I just thought it was the battery, thought the battery may have dumped. Now its time for the main set it on the track and it takes off, I take it for a couple practice laps and it seem fine I stop to wait for us to go to the line and nothing the car is just sitting there not moving at all. A guy comes up behind me and gives the car a bump(he hit me by accident) and I hit the throttle and it goes. I can keep going as long as I don't come to a complete stop. I get home and play with it and whats happening now is, I hit throttle no power to motor. I watch the lights and this is whats happening. Hit the throttle yellow led lights up, full throttle blue lights, hold it and the yellow and red led alternate. I don't know whats going on any help I would greatly appreciate. Thanks.

all though there was no external damage , the inside of the connector on the motor was damaged !!!
i have also cooked 2 motors with the SPX due to over gearing to get the edge on my fellow racers

LRP and they told me there was a problem with the Fets. Fortunately, mine was under warranty. Although, LRP has first rate customer service so hopefully they can bring your Spx back to life!

Fet trouble is a growing trouble with LRP units, it would seem they use an inferior quality fet when compared to the likes of Tekin....
