Myself and 2 other SP esc drivers all suffering the same issue, seemed to be when going from Full throttle straight onto heavy braking the brakes wouldnt work properly, they seemed to work and then fade and the strength of the brakes faded. Initial brake was good, slow speed brakes good, but after the first 0.1 of braking they seemed to fade as if the ESC ran out of power. my settings were: Brakes 100 reverse force 50 initial 0 We couldnt cure it.... mayb its time for a firmware update? as hte Tekins could turn inside us, even if they couldnt outpace us :cool: No idea why a reverse setting should have that effect, but its true. |

Anyone running a speed passion in off road... I can't decide on a speedo

Brushless ESC's are getting close to being as smooth as brushed motors. However Speed Passion is leading the way in that initial smooth power delivery I remember from a brushed set up. Kudo's to the SP GT ESC's!

After I figured out what profile to use (the non turbo mod one) for offroad the speedos have been just fine. At first I was trying to use the stock turbo profiles, since I was running a 13.5 and it wasn't smooth at all. I'm using them in 4wd buggy with an 8.5 and 2wd with a 10.5 now and they seem fine.

Solara,
Hi, Can the 528 Mod firmware be used in a GT2.0pro ? Is there an advantage to this speedo over my GT2.1pro with an 8.5 V3 and/or 7.5 V3 for offroad, your opinion/knowledge base? Thanks a billion ! Brandon

Solara has previously mentioned that it would be ported for Android as well. You can also see "Android" right there in the picture from the hobby show under "Compatible With:" :rolleyes:
http://www.rctech.net/forum/attachme..._1972578_n.jpg Solara, any ETA on when the mobile app will be available for Android? About window mobile (I am a PC as well)...I think it will be right after the APPLE and ANDROID, short after or they will be release at the same time. |

Mike (wallstreet), stop looking around and stop thinking too much, it will heart your brain....get Speed Passion. And un-retire from RC. DO IT... Tell your buddy NEXUS to do the same too....:sneaky:

Set reverse force to full, and you will have lockup brake power.
No idea why a reverse setting should have that effect, but its true. Yes...my REVERSE setting is ALWAYS 100%....it is not just using it for reverse, it is somehow engineered to help for the brakes. On tight track setting...I use as high as 20% drag braking and only 75% brakes with 100% reverse...I have NEVER expereinced my brake is fading or disappeared........but I don't usually yake the brake and do a complete stop just to cut into the inside line. I usually let the car roll into the corner and carry as much corner speed as possible....or I will hit the board and broke..LOL |
