Hi guys I`m in a bit of a bind, I just bought a new stock spec GT2.1 it`s had latest FW upgrade and running a new SP 17.5, It won`t rev over about 25%, at full throttle. Checked every thing I can think of, light flashing in bottom of esc, any one have any ideas? I have state titles this weekend, so could really use a quick fix, cheers, Dave.
Try changing your sensor lead, if that doesn't help it clean the sensor board or look at changing out the sensor board. |

Hi,
I'm confused about the new GT2.1 Prostock ESC. :confused: Can somebody from SP please give a definitive answer about whether or not the GT2.1 can run low turn MOD motors or not, please? I've searched through this forum and found conflicting answers. I'm aware that you need to change to the MOD firmware to do it, I don't have a problem with that. Just want to know if it's the same as the GT2.0 Pro inside. If not, why is it the same price? Also, I can't find any specs for the GT2.1 either. I'd like to know max current, resistance, etc. Anyone have a link to that info? Thanks for any help. Cheers, Frank :) GT 2.0 can be and used for stock (with appropriate software) although it could reach high temperatures, while the GT 2.1 having the alloy upper case and larger fan will guarantee less generated heat. So I guess it can be used for modified (again with appropriate software) and to tell you the truth I'm going to give it try next time I go to a track ;) |
Thanks Bigger Brother, the guys down at the track said something similar, I changed sensor wires four times and motors twice, thing is, I tried a friends system in my car, it was a 2.0 though, but it did the same thing, got me stumped, thanks though, Dave.

Is their any advantages with the new software for the lpf gt2.0 for 2wd stock of road #100422stock if so i just would like to know what a safe setting would be once its downloaded

Hi Marcos.J, it was recalibrated by me and a few others who run SP, just in case I did it wrong, the packs are new IP 5600`s, cheers for the reply though, Dave.

9/8 12/6 13/3 14/2 15/5 For more bottom end, go lower on #15. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. |

I would probably not run setting 9 at 1. All that would do is make the car have a ton of torque and no top speed. Also it would negate the timing change system. Why bother having the new software if you are not going to use it?
With 205 we used 26 degrees flat line thoughout the range with no troubles. So why not have setting 9 at say5-8? I would not run any turbo though. I would make the start rpm very high and setting 15 should be quite a high to keep it cool. But to be honest a 3T would be no good however you set it up. Europes best drivers were using 4T+ from what I have seen in reports on that huge track. Rubber tyres can only grip so much. Mike If we add DMTS timing like 12* on item 9, then we have to force to turn down (or even off) item 12 and 15, to close to nothing in order NOT to blow up the 3T motor....but if we are replying on item 9 for timing, really, why bother to use the 100422 software? Simply use the 205g with item 9 on 9* and run the motor. That setting above was submitted by SP drivers over Europe for start up. I did that on my 4.5T motor at a 225 foot track and there are no such thing is too much torque. I can't last more then 3 laps cause my Sweep 36 tires were off the rim...seriously. For your information, Supercharger/TURBO on MOD motor is the new game...take a look at the recently overed ETS race that Hara won, Marc and Vikter 2nd and 3rd, using SP V3 4.0T motor and GT2 with Supercharger software....without turbo or supercharger, you are not even close to being ready to race. 205g won't cut it... |

I must add that there V2 motor for high end competition.
Actually, because SP forgot to send the V3 motors for homologation to IFMAR V2 are the motors SP drivers will. Having run both (4.5t) I must say that both are very fast and reliable. V3 apart from the obvious advantage of swaping motors fast and hassle free, they are colder although they need to gear them higher I have teh Competition 2 and Competition 3...beside the V3 connection without soldering, they are both fast and cool...low turn motor, with software enhance, I really cannot tell how much of a different. HOW FAST CAN YOU GO...? :D |

The real reason 422 and 518 way out perform 230/231/324/410 is because they were esentially like 205 or others but with turbo. 422 is completely different and will make the motor run much cooler because of the dynamic timing (not anything at all to do with turbo) and also much faster. #9 is boost timing max of 21 degrees (or 26 on SP although I think it really is 21) #12 is turbo timing max of 8 degrees #13 is boost start RPM #14 is turbo delay #15 is timing punch (the amount of RPM needed for an increase of 1 degree after the boost start RPM and note:nothing to do with turbo) Example #A: When motor speed reaches 4500RPM, the ESC begins to increase the internal timing with the step of 1 Degree per 200 RPM increment. Example #B: When motor speed reaches 6000RPM, the ESC begins to increase the internal timing with the step of 1 Degree per 300 RPM increment. Because Example #A uses lower Boost Start RPM and lower Timing Punch settings, it products a faster internal timing increase, that means the motor has a faster acceleration, but the motor will be hotter. In the very near future there will be no turbo option. It is just a bandage for programming that isn't quite right. Mike |

I'll try to answer your question. I have both escs and the circuit has the same number. For my limited knowledge, that means it's the same.

So I guess it can be used for modified (again with appropriate software) and to tell you the truth I'm going to give it try next time I go to a track ;) It's interesting that both ESCs have the same circuit (board) number. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean they have the same quality components. Please, can someone from SP tell us the difference, apart from the firmware, between the GT2.0 Pro and the GT2.1 Prostock? And give us some specs for the GT2.1, please. Shawn, Adam, anyone? :confused: Cheers, Frank :) |
Thanks MikeXray, that was about the only thing I hadn`t tried, I just did it now, but same thing, no throttle, seems I just got a dud, thanks for your input guys, cheers, Dave.

so anyone use the new sofewear with the LRP X12 17.5?
what FDR would you run on an 50 by 100 track |

Anyone who is running the GT2.1 please check specs on your esc box or in the manual. |
