Seemed like the older esc's (sphere,gtb,etc) were more reliable that the newer stuff. No issues with these, heck I'm still running an old gtb and sphere in a couple cars and keep going strong.
Not good . That is three of us , just on this thread , in the last couple pages . Just think of how many others have had their $230 speedo just stop working for no reason . What a shame . Such a smooth speedo . I will get it fixed and throw it back in . If it happens again , I will try and sell it . If it happens again I will be proabably be done with LRP .

I really like my Novak GTB2 . Just not quite as smooth as the LRP . And it does not have any timing advance . I am proabably going to buy a Novak Havoc Pro SC . They sell refurbished stuff on their website for great prices .

I put an old Novak Havoc Pro ( No timing ) and a Novak Ballistic 8.5 turn in my buggy today . It hauls freaking ass !! Was running it in front off the house today with slicks . Pretty fun . Not sure how controlable it will be on the track though . Should be fun though on the big triple and doing wheelies down the straight .

I have some Novak stuff I'd love to get rid of if you go that route. They all work great, but I'd like to eventually move all of my 2WDs to a Tekin RS.

I have 4 Sxx , two older about a 1&1/2 old & 2 SXXv2 both about 4 months old , no problems and none of my teammates who also use SXX have been experiencing any problems over the last year ....

Just a opinion, LRP has to be the most reliable, best performing ESC you can buy today ...

Is anyone running a t4.1? With the announcement of the 22t I was wondering if anyone is planning on dusting off their t4.1 and reviving the class.

It's not like no one races this class. ALive here and growing. Might be dead in some areas but not dead everywhere.

The SC10 axle is slightly longer because it takes a different hex. The SC10 hex is the same front and rear while the B4 hex is deeper for the rear than the front.

That is not correct. I received the SC10 hex conversion parts last week and have them on my truck. The front axles are shorter than the rear and the hexes are thinner? I am going to call AE on Monday and see what they have to say?

On the front arm, is the caster block always spaced all the way forward? It's not clear on the setup sheets. Thanks.
