I too cut them off, with the chassis getting smaller and smaller, I'd rather one less thing to try and fit.

Any chance anyone has any Release info for North America for the Flow X?

The current software version is TC SPEC 4.1 and blinky is the default settings.

Hello!
Coming from 1/10 4WD offroad racing on astro is it worth to go for the flow works or wait for the flow X ? isnt flowX going to be an overkill for a buggy with a 6.5T motor?

if you're running a 6.5T motor, the Flow X won't be overkill at all, and just the braking profiles are enough of a reason to switch to the Flow X.

i will run 6.5 on LRP.
The other option is to get a 5.5 for my fleta pro instead of buying a whole new combo. i dont have a problem with my current setup up "fleta pro + hobbywing 6.5T" but i got a new xb4 '17 chassis and i was thinking of a gift for the new chassis... Flow X isnt supposed to have only TC profiles atm? is it gonna be smooth at a buggy? i found a flow Works for 110 euros instead of 190 today and i was 1 click away of buying it.

So will LRP come out with a Regular Flo X? The one out now is the TC spec. I was wondering if that's all they are gonna release or come out with a regular spec

Was playing with my mate last night and got my ass kicked so badly. We are both running Boosted 13.5T, I am running a FlowX/X20 combo, and he is running a HW combo. In the straight, there is no competition. I am sure it has to do with ESC settings, but with the FlowX so new, there is no shared public settings for me to use as a reference. I have NO clue what to do to get things going.

The current FlowX software allows the following settings:



Anyone has any idea what would be a good starting point?

Also, LRP seems to use different terms. So there is no Turbo? Boost would = Timing?

Hoping someone can help! Thanks in advance.

A good starting point would be: 3-3-1-6-2-3-5-1-1
The boost/timing will start after 10k with max ramp of 20* and a slope of 10* per 10k.
If the car isn't fast enough you should tune up the slope and then the max ramp.
I would set the end bell timing to 27.5 and the gearing to ~5.5 FDR.
I hope this helps a bit.

First of all if you're running boosted, there's no timing programed.

Picked up a Flow X today from someone. First question is there a way to reset the esc to factory default? And second, is the box set-up a good start for 21.5 USGT?
