Ok bought 2 sensor leads with coloured wiring today.
They confirmed my suspicion.
The lead i recieved with my motor had a pair of pins swapped.
I managed to swap the two wires in question and its working perfectly.

I found a little glitch in the programming of my SP GT 2.0 Pro today. I had a jump start a few racemeets ago that was unintentional. I thought an easy solution would be to increase the neutral width. While running in a diff today I noticed that the throttle came on strong initially, like have a throttle punch. I looked through my radio settings but couldn't explain it. I then turned to the speedy and tried changing the neutral width down to minimum. Instantly the initial throttle was normal.

My conclusion is that instead of adjusting the nuetral width the speedy is simply ignoring the 1st % of throttle travel and then responding to it after that point. While this would have no real effect on spec racers a mod motor (like a 4.0) shows significant difference. I suggest that this be looked at for the next firmware update.

I had the same niggle initially but recalibrated the esc after i rebound my Spektrum and all is good now.

I found the 205C is by far the best thus far.

Dragonfire:
Razzor is correct - after a neutral band change you'll need to recalibrate the ESC to the transmitter in order for it to work as expected.

S.Nicholson:
We like the "C" better than the "G" for stock, as the C has a little better top end and smoother throttle response.

For mod, the "G" has a tick more punch, but with mod motors you are not going to tell a big difference between them other than a little different "feel" on the throttle curve. Either one is fine.

OK
simple.
Switch on esc while pressing the set button on the switch.
esc will beep.
with radio in neutral position press button once. esc will beep.
then hold full throttle position and press button once. esc will beep.
then hold full reverse/brake position and press button once. esc will beep.
let go of throttle to neutral position and esc will beep and you should be good to go.
