Hideeho
My guess would be none, since it can be programmed without counting blinking lights

We'll, ran this thing and I got to say, I'm impressed, I've run takin, Orion, lrp, it hangs with them all. The ability to program from the driver stand to the 1% is a nice feature, the braking is too good, had to dial it out, no noticeable latency with the with the telemetry.

All speedos should have some sort of functionality that sends telemetry data. If only to your smart phone

Which online stores are stocking these Sanwa Super Vortex ESC's plus the MT-4S Tx/Rx?

I found my answer just reading more threads..

Hobby People has the Super Vortex with Rx 472 combo for $269.
And the MT4S for $299.

My credit card might throw up.

I feel your paid, I just dropped the cash on an M12. My card may burst into flames if I attempt to order the Super Vortex & receiver combo.

The program from the radio awesomeness makes it hard to resist.

Hi. I have done the transmitter calibration. But I cant get to the Setup Mode 1 to 4 which is on the ESC itself. After I ON the ESC, a solid green & blinking blue will be seen. No matter how long I kept pressing the Setup button (At the On/Off ESC switch), the most I saw is the green will turn blinking & blue still blinking, cant get the red light. Current Connections to 472 are Gyro to CH1, Motor fan to CH3, Vor Zero to BATT. Pls advice.

Thks fb2402. Got it done. I have another question. On the M12 telemetry display, I can see Temp1 showing @35c but there is no reading on Temp2 (just show -----), is it normal?

You're motor must have a temp sensor to be able to see the motor temp.

Hi. Does it means all sensor brushless motors have temp sensor built-in? Checked online, most motor manufacture data did not indicate any built-in temp sensor. Abt the 6-pins sensor cable, is blue color the one related to motor temp? Currently I am using a sensor motor. If only certain motors have this built-in temp sensor, can recommend which brand/model?

The D3.5 motors has a temp sensor built in. Works fine with my m12 and super vortex zero.

Update: The Reedy Sonic Mach motors does not have a built in temp sensor. At least is not indicating any through the telemetry.
