diffs between spx and sxx stock
I had mentioned in the other thread about release date for SXX StockSpec: http://www.rctech.net/forum/6526945-post810.html
Obviously it is december now... but as I mentioned in my previous reply, there may be small delays due to component shortages!
As it looks right now we start shipping SXX StockSpec to distributors and shops in mid/late January.

ran mine today also. track was 80x60 carpet.. 7.3 fdr in 09 corally.. motor was fast but i just dont like the amount of drag brake this motor has. really made the car uneasy to drive. it reminded me of a 27turn brushed motor. i had to add role to this motor so the rear would stay behind the front end without looping around. switched back to my duo and no problems at all with looping around..... love the motor just does not fit my style of driving... in a couple weeks i will try it again to see if i can get a feel for it. if i cant looks like i will get rid of it.... jeremy

Rubber tire. I'm not exactly sure how big the track is but it's on an old outdoor hockey rink that was converted into an RC track for 1/10 and 1/12.
This is the track that I run on and you kind of see it in the picture.

Here's a video of the track as well. Ignore the annoying music.

13.5, spx-profile 6, 00 timing, 6.2 overall.
It is for sure a diffrent feel and gearing than the x-11

Are you sure nothing in the radio? Just asking as sometimes I think I do or don't have something set and I check it is. I know as I have forgotten my drag brake settings at times
I really like the way the motor wires solder up.
Good luck with it.

i have never used drag brag in my life so the radio is always in the nuetral setting... even with a brushed motor i would use forward roll... i had to put alot of forward role into it and then the motor would make a funny noise eveytime i pulled the throttle.. set the epa back to nuetral and noise went away.. very different motor.. yes love the way it wires up.. could not ask for anything better.. i will give it a shot next week.. if i dont like it will be in the for sale section with very limited use. jeremy

I ran the motor on Saturday after reading about the different gearing, and its defiantely a different animal. I'm not sure how I feel about all the extra drag in the motor as it tends to carry less corner speed but I'm sure that can easily be compensated for with driving style. However it is definately VERY fast! I ran it with an SXX 1/6/1/1 with the factory motor timing and a 6.5FDR (indoor carpet). Next weekend when I get out I'm going to try it with the SPX and see how much better it runs.
