Hi guys,

I got a SP gt 2.0 pro from a mate a few weeks back. Im running a lrp 10.5 motor in my 1/12 with 4 nimh cells. But for some reason, I just cant get it to run right. Sometimes the car has good acceleration, and then 5 seconds later it comes on very slow.

What could this be?

Cheers.

I drove his car and it definitely hasn't got anything to do with the battery.

It seems really random whether the punch will kick in or not and when it does it feels flat at lower speeds anyway. We have tried different timing settings from 0 to max, but the result was always the same.

That's not true the motor rotation is not necessary for us it's been replaced
with RPM Log, Average RPM, and Max RPM Travel Log.

The Area 11 is not yet appear on LCD Professional and PC Interface yet.

it would be nice to look at the LCD Professional about This Area 11.

like Shawn Palmer said before, it's on the table.

Have you tried recalibrating the radio at 90% and then increase the epa on the throttle to 100% or as some do 100% and then increase to 120%.

are you saying you THINK that #11 will be used for data log, or you KNOW it.

I have never had a 4 cell pack 'peak' at 4.8 volts. usually around 6 or so.

the very first speedpassion esc had issues running 4 cell, that was fixed with the release of the very first lpf esc, the 2.0s have no issues running 4 cell, I have run WGT 4 cell with 13.5 on 4 cell with out issues using a 1.0 lpf and a 2.0 lpf without boosters. this is not to say that a booster wouldn't help or cure what is going on with the OP issues. but usually low voltage is a servo issue not a 'working' issue, IMO

Can someone who has run V2 and V3 motors tell me what are the main differences between them apart from looks and connections??

Thanks
