I am running 100% everything but I must admit I never re-calibrated esc after changing them to 100%.. does that make a difference then?
How good are the brakes normally on these esc's ?
Just cut open the standard esc capacitor and the figures match my cylinder type apart from the bank of 4 capacitors add up to 1880uf and mine is 2200uf, is that good or bad, I've no real electrical knowledge

Hi .. I have been out of the electric scene for some time now, well the last time I was running electric I was racing Team Associated RC10L Pan car if my memory serves right and running Novak ESC with Brushed Reedy Motors, need to catch up so been doing some reading now...
A friend of mine asked me a question in regards to running a Speed Passion ESC with a Trinity Motor DU something..... will they work together specifically the question is about the sensor cable.
Anyone car to advise me on this one plz.
Thx

I'm running the SP2.1 and a Duo2 13.5 in my touring car and its a blast

Hi guys, im also suffering weak brakes with my gt 2 pro with 4t v3 and 10.5 v3
they are too progresive, im after more aggresive brakes and just cant seem to get them to be sharp with just a little movement with the throttle stick
ive also tried all the esc settings but from what i can make out if the initial brakes are at a max of 40% surely they never are going to be blinding with little stick movement, they will be 40% of the max brakes or am i wrong ?
ive been reading the above posts regarding capacitors, from the start i run with the following spec capacitor
105 dec c
25v
2200uf
its a cylinder type one as used by reinhard..could this spec capacitor be the issue..
ive found what is labelled as super active capacitor but as it looks like the one that came with my esc i dont know if its the same as what i have,
what capacitor comes with esc 2.0 pro gt ????
the one ive found is pt no sp98801std-c01 (is this the supplied gt pro one)
is this one the same sp98801-c01 or the upgraded version
i just want better brakes as i have to start braking too early to get into a hairpin, markwhen others can cream me on braking
cheers in advance

+1 on the Brakes, go into the menu and set the brake force at 100% AND set the reverse force at 100% EVEN if you don't use reverse something about the way BL works is that it uses 'moderated reverse' to actuate brakes so set the reverse at 100% and watch your car lock all four wheels on carpet lol.
I have a tutorial if anyone is interested, excuse the quality as it's my first attempt at a video. It is in two parts 1/2 and 2/2 and can be found at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUKMoGvRJZY Part 1 and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOCFkCwBlrQ
Part 2.
Before any moans occur I am NOT showing this to be clever it is just that having had over 500 messages asking for assistance with setting up etc I have decided to lower my work load with this video. Watch it don't watch it, it's up to you it is what it is and is purely based on my time spent with these speedo's.
Hope it helps.

Also found setting throttle travel to 100% the best, that way you can increase throw to 105-110% to make sure supercharge works and the same for brakes.

It is in the menu TH:Punch.
Also your throttle curve can be changed to improve the speed however brake punch is more of a change in settings a great tool for brake adjustments

Trinity Duo and Duo2 motors are imho some of the best you can get. The duo2 has such a large sweet spot for the boost as far as temps you can run and gearing you can throw at it there the easiest to set up and run. The X12's can be faster, but it takes more careful calibration and there very sensitive and easy to burn up.

Going through the manual on the esc for SP 2.0 GT and the LPF I see that in the lipo setup there are some limitations, yet the size of the esc are identical and what looks like pretty much a sticker swap from one and another, though I have not opened one up to see if there are any internal parts being different in size, am I assume that both speeds could be programmed with different variables ?

My question in regards to the LPF an the GT if they are the same in size how can one handle a higher performing motor ?
I heard some info the other day that some drivers are using the LPF with less then the 5.5 turn and not having any issues ?
Anyone care to enlighten me on this ?
