I have a brand new sphere 2007, when the car is on the ground and I hit the gas, it won't move unless I give it a push. Any thoughts on why it is doing this? The motor, the speedo or both? All of the wiring is correct.

Brushless or brushed motor?

Send it back to LRP. Mine new one did the same thing last week. It weird my other 2 sphere comps are running like champs.

It seems like this is happening to a lot of people, how does the tekin or novak brushless systems compare?

I had one do that this weekend, it was set on brushed mode, switched it and it was all good

I read my instructions, it said that it detects brush/brushless automatically.

LRP has no more problems than any other speedo. Out of the thousands they sell they are bound to have a few go bad from time to time...the same is the case with Novak and Tekin (Tekin has no BL speedo yet).

LOL how in the hell do you switch a lrp sphere to brushed or brushless mode?

you plug in the sensor wire it's brushless.you unplug sensor wire it's brushed..


WOW!

Quick question for you Sphere experts. I'm unloading all of my Novak stuff to switch over to LRP and try the Tekin.

What is the Sphere 2007? I was under the assumption that the TC version was the newest and top of the line for them. Is there a better LRP out there?

Sorry to hijack.. You guys seemed the logical ones to ask without starting yet another brushless thread.

Thanks.

The Sphere 2007 preceded the TC version. It does not have the fan on it like the TC does. I have both versions and they are excellent.

About the TC per LRP website:

Optimised, even for running on 4 Sub-C cells
Low-profile heat sinks with integrated high-performance fan
Fan on/off via speed control main switch
Large power capacitor optimised for Touring Car applications
Special Touring Car software
Launch control
Optimised ADPCTM profiles
Totally redesigned brake software
Internal-Temp-Check system
12 AWG power-wire

these speedos are one of the best of, but expensive.
