Can you help me out?
(Turn radio on)
Hold down the setup button and turn the switch on.

Once the ESC starts beeping (should be immediately) let go of the setup button and push one time to set neutral (esc will beep once).

Hold full throttle and push setup button again (esc will beep twice)

Hold full brake and push setup button once more (esc will beep 3 times)

wait 2-3 seconds turn off esc and turn back on and go racing

I apologise in advance is this has already been covered here, but I was just wondering, is the only difference between the SP GT2.0 Pro and SP GT2.0 LPF the amount of current they can handle?

I'm looking to race 13.5 and 10.5 so I'm thinking that the Pro version will be overkill and that the LPF would be just as good for my needs, would I be right?

Any advice on an FDR for a SP 13.5 V3 with the LPF running on a medium carpet track (rubber tyres)?

Thanks in advance

Am currently running SP LPF 1.1 and having a problem with throttle response. Problem is only intermittent, when pulling throttle from a dead stop there is no response if I go to brake and then back into throttle car then accelerates normally. There isn't any cogging down low and problem has occured with 2 different motors. Would appreciate any ideas from anyone who may have had a similar problem??

Also just picked up a SP 17.5 V3 any recommendations for gearing in a B44?

Thanks,

Chris

When that issue happens to me..it's usually a bad sensor wire. Replace that and see what happens.

The reason they aren't on the site is because we don't have them yet

Hello, I have an SP Marc Rheinhard version of the 13.5 and geared(FDR) at 4.2 (Temp after 5mins is about 175-180*F)...our track is around 48meters straight away (Indoor/Asphalt). I ran the motor today (3rd Race Day = 6-8 runs per day) and after the 3rd qualifying and before the 1st main it cogs then stopped!
I disassembled the motor and found out that the 'A' tab was desoldered and I resoldered it back and oiled the bearings and tried the motor again. It worked for 1 lap then started to cog again then stopped!
For the 2nd time I disassembled the motor and found out that the 'B' & 'C' tabs was desoldered and I resoldered it back and tried the motor on the bench...Its not working properly as it cogs even more then stopped.
I would like to ask if anyone have any idea why is this happening?
Also, is there anywhere I can send the motor for repair or replacement?
Any help or PM from a company would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

yo, adam, is there somewhere that you can tell me (so i don't have to do the work myself) that I can find what the different updates/profiles for the 2.0 are. I've just been running mod with it so haven't bother to pay attention.
