Hi all, I bought a QC2 2 months ago from a shop in HK and i used it for the 1st time last Sunday and all was going well until the 3rd heat when my switch snapped off.
I've fixed that by connecting the 2 wires together so i had no switch which worked fine but then the 5th race i landed very hard on my motor and lost everything. No power to the esc at all....as well with no steering.
Got home and tested to see if it was the esc, battery or the reciever with the other esc and recievers and batts and i found that the speedy was the problem. No lights come on at all.....

Does anyone know where i can go to fix the damn thing? Any hobby shops in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area?

Or do i need to send the thing to LRP in America?

Thanks
Alan.

I've got a similar problem like yours. Though mines still working but glitching on power. Best thing to do is email LRP direct. I got mine from Japan so I have to send it to HPI Japan as they are the distrubitors.

The joys of buying over seas.

I will give you $20.00 for it.

For warranty u would have to send it oversees
You could send it to hobbytown in sydney they have a repair guy they send them to takes bout 4 weeks to come back number 02 98963277 best of luck ask for jason

There is a guy in Sydney that does them for me. He is very good and does them at a good price. Pm me if you want his no:

yeah i had mine catch fire on wednesday night, im posting it back to the distributors in newcastle for warranty replacement.

im scared at how often these speedys fail
i've had so many people tell me not to get one cause they catch fire & break down so often... shouldnt LRP be doing a recall if this many are fucking up?

oh, and for anyone who's interested, the photos

photos!

btw, that receiver unit was 5 hours old at the time, i was about to go on a holy jihad to kill all of LRP if that thing was dead as well

oh, and my real car still wreaks of electrical fire 3 days later (it caught fire while it was in the back seat of my car), i'm lucky it didnt set fire to the car, cause that really woulda been bad

WOW i have never seen a speedie go that bad, but i guess the real question is why was it connected sitting in the back seat of your car?

Not that it helps you but next time consider Novak? great local warranty support and great reliability.

Should always disconnect battery from speedo when not in use - I have read that so many times and now I know why...

And they still say Brushless systems fail all the time. I have seen so many of these LRP's go up now it's not funny, actually all brands for that matter. It really is a joke how bad they are now. I think they should all re think the marketing plan to have the smallest most unreliable speedy on the market.

I really would not know where to turn if I was to buy a brushed speedy now, maybe just get the schulze one that does brushed and B/L.

Anyway sorry to see that it melted.

Yeh it seems the smaller speedies get the more fragile they become :P They just don't make them like they use to anymore. Maybe they forgot to dry-proof their speedies?

That's the thing - they are so small and transmit high currents. No heatsinks on the (LRP Quant 2 / Norsam Dom Evo) - something has to give...

Thoughts on the TC2???

Much better than the GT7. Way too many of these blew up, but I believe they have fixed it (GT7) now with the larger extra D size cell hanging off the side.

It seems now you get a small speedy, add a large cap to it (Novak style) add a heats shink to it (LRP Style) add a diode to it (Ko Style) and it's now larger than the ESC that were out years and years ago. Oh and now they make them water proof in a gel. Looks like no fixing them when they blow now in that gel case (mtronic style), good plan.

Coxy.
