Ok, since u guys are talkin about it. I'm in the market for an esc right now. I'm def gonna go with the lrp but was battling the decision of gettin the newer spx, or just gettin one of these tc spec comps that people are offloadin so cheap??
And if u do think the spx, why? What's the pros and cons?

If your going to be racing spec or stock class's, purchase the SPX .
It has "dynamic timing" designed to get the best motor performance from spec motors.

Thanks for the reply.. I wish their were spec classes in my area, but I'm lucky that people even somewhat race electric, and the ones that do only wanna run mod. So from what ur sayin I should be fine with the tc spec bc I really have no use for the timing advantages in mod, correct?

If running 10.5 or higher you want the spx..definitely worth the money to me. my 17.5 TC is a rocket on the top end compare to others I race w/ spheres. I haven't had the need for that much top end for my tight little dirt track, but when the gtb's blow they will be replaced w/ lrps or maybe a KO.

Apparently I gather I needs to step it up from a 10.5 to 8.5 in my B4 also. Wish I had just a lil more knowledge in these areas LOL. I really don't know much about the programing, haven't even went into it yet, just been running it with whatever the heck it is that's on it. I am also def gonna go wit at least the 8.5 in my t4 I have coming, or do u guys recomend a 7.5?

Cherry,
what did you drill out your Losi 55 Pistions too? Just three holes right to a #58 or #59 holes.
Was planning on trying a couple different Pistions and I just want to make sure.

Yes of course I use the lite set-up , with a few changes ..
trim green rear spring (1 coil)
35W ft shock
losi 55 piston & 35w rear shock
3 shims on ft ball stud
2 shims on back stud
standard rear axle hub moved all the way back of rear arm
3 030 shims on steering arm ( more bump steer)
JC GOLD Bars codes ft & back
heavy contoured ft foam, use a rear insert with 3/16 trim off first..
back insert
same as ft..
very important to do as the side wall on the rear bar code is very stiff and need a smaller insert to get a softer sidewall for side bite...
BUGGY GRIP traction compound

I found the 35w with the drilled losi piston was a bit smoother when the car is toss into the turn, more side bite with out lowering corner speeds .
Car is less dartly or edgy...
BDW , not my set-up !!!

whatz up
for B-4 rear shock
*use losi piston smaller than #55 , like #60 or #57
*smooth off the mold seam on edge of piston
*drill piston holes larger with a # 55 drill bit
35w oil

So are most "stock" racers using the LRP motors with the SPX also, or is my choice pretty much open to any brushless motor? I dont want to wait until we start racing to scramble for a motor. I have a month to get this all together. My B4 is 90% built now so it gives me time to get it running and make sure its tuned.
Sorry for all the questions but brushless is all new to me and I wont miss my brushes and no more comm cutting,cleaning etc...
