- Drag brake?
- Brake Strength?
- Timing Profile or advance?
- CL?
- Neutral Width?

I know what each setting controls, just wondering what y'all have had success with.
Ryan Lutz posted an RX8 Gen2 ESC setup on his FB page yesterday. You might want to check it out.

Attached it now...

It really depends what you like. If you like your car to 'run flat' and no shift weight around too much, run less droop. If you like to steering with the throttle and brakes and have lots of weight transfer, more droop is probably going to work better for you.
Thanks for the info I really appreciate the help I think the more droop will suit my driving style.

I'm running a radiopost rp5005s, svaox 1283sg, & savox 1268sg in my tekno's.

RP & 1283 are not in anything at the moment due to waiting for my new .3 sct.

I like my Savox HV's (see sig) Tried a Protek for the first time in my XB4 and it's been awesome so far. Stupid fast and strong for a low-profile, but haven't had it long enough to talk about durability.

I have a small army of HS-7955TG throughout my vehicles. Incredibly reliable, I have yet to strip a gear, are rated for high voltage, and universally fast/powerful enough for my needs with both steering and throttle.

ok spectrum 6100 or hitec 7955 so are the servo wires long enough or do you need extension wires?

Thanks

I had a ace 1015 in the eb48 first then installed a protek servo. Both of them needed extensions. I think most servos you will need an extension.

Yes, the Spektrum servos need an extension.

If you want a servo that doesn't need an extension, and budget is no limit, this is the best servo I have ever owned; and I've owned them all. All Radiopost including Signature, Futaba 9352, Savox 1267/8 & 2274, Hitec 7955&7950

Thanks!! The build as super easy though I'm having an issue with the shocks. It seems the bladders are collapsing under full compression and get sucked into the shock body, then oil starts coming out of the bleed holes. Any tips???
