You need to set your RX fail position. It tells the servo and esc a fail safe position when the RX is off or fails ie brake and servo straight

Track is 75' X 55' carpet. No real straight aways. I want to see what most would recommend is a good setting for 17.5 to blinky with the Flow works and a Reedy Sonic mach2.

Just got this email from LRP, they are working on one for the FLOW but no date:

"Tim,

We are currently working on a new release of software for the flow. For the SXX we do not have plans for a new software release as this is a discontinued item.

Best regards

Cool FLOW WORKS POWER CAP….

Purchased a brand new flow works a couple of weeks ago online. Finally got a chance to make all the connections, started testing it and to my surprise both power cap wirings came out of the power cap with the shrink wrap!
Now i zip tied them onto the wirings to relieve the stress like i alway do but they came out anyway. Ive owned all the big esc and this is the first time this has happened. In opinion i think the solder wasn't done correctly or it was just a bad job in any instance i need to be pointed in the right direction.
In the meantime i have e-mailed LRP SERVICES and hope they can do something for me…any other suggestions would be appreciated…

thanks Sam...

I believe it is the second setting, also called 'Initial Drive' IIRC.

The manual advises that you shouldn't, but you certainly can try it. I know several of the AE guys who use Reedy motors with the Flow run this setting. You know when you run mod and there is that initial 'oh shit' feeling when you punch it? That is what the torque timing does, but use at your own risk with other motors.

The LRP Flow is a incredible esc. I now have all three cars out fitted. Been running them with no issues. The Orion R10 is very good as well. I have wired customers cars with them and have nothing but good things to say. Very smooth power delivery. It's basically a Ferrari, Lambourgini choice. You will not be disappointed with either.
