Thanks for the other info though

Hope the reply above helps you.

The stock box does not allow changes to these upper settings, correct ? Thanks.

Yes and No....

The GT2.1 EX...came installed the 205g software which is for MOD motor use, no SUPERCHARGER feature on that verison of software. Then we have 528STOCK and 528MOD along with the no timing software = 508_no_timing for user to upload and use....

In order to upload the software onto the ESC, you will need the LCD box. So...the LCD is a good investment for you, that box itself can also replaced the plastic programmer box that came with the ESC.

Some ppl might have friend that has the LCD box, then you can have him to upload the software for you and then you can use the plastic box for adjustment. Once the SUPERCHARGER software is uploaded, the plastic box can adjust all 15 functions.

Here's a bit more help if you don't know where to navigate...

Go here: http://www.speedpassion.net/us/produ...802LPFcb&c=ESC

...and you can see the applicable downloads for the 2.0LPF. You'll see the 528 software under the 7/8/2010 date.

I was wondering if anyone has run into the same issue that we have with our 2.0Pro in our Mod (version 3 4.0T) touring car.

Lights on esc are as per instructions on full gas and full brake, but after having used the car the esc light blinks green when on neutral. According to instructions there should be no light on when in neutral.
Have tried reprogramming radio to esc and also changed sensor wire and these had no effect on the issue.

Even when the light blinks on neutral the car is running normal.

@ Solara

I know that GT 2.0 has constant 400 A and burst 800 A, so with GT 2.1 Pro stock how many amps for constant and burst ? before... I installed friend's T3 with GT Pro stock 2.0 with 4 small capacitors and 12 awg cables ...and when i received my new GT Pro stock 2.1 , I only received 1 medium size Capacitor and 14 awg cables....any differences on performance because I haven't install it yet..

Thanks,
Bijono

I had that problem, turned out the sensor board on the motor was gone so it was in sensorless mode.

Open up the V3 motor's endbell, clean up the sensor board and reseat the sensor and check the esc light again...hope those lights are OFF after that.

We constantly update our capacity's model and size...your duo cap version is the current model for the Gt2.1 ProStock. We have been using the same cap for GT2.1 ProStock and it is proved to be good for racing.

The GT2 PRO (not pro stock) used the 4 caps and 12ga wire simply because the PRO unit is mainly use with MOD motor...if you are going to use the 2.1 ProStock with MOD motor like 7.5 or 8.5T, you should upgrade the wire to 12ga and the 4 caps...

GT2.1 ProStock is aimed for stock motor racing...but it can be use with 7.5 and 8.5 with the right software.

The cool thing is... If you just load 528_Stock on the GT 2.0 Pro, it works perfectly fine for stock too! The new upgraded power capacitor that Solara had mentioned before is also a very good upgrade for stock racing.

so if using the gt2.0pro for stock racing, (13.5), on a track where punch is of upmost importance, which would be the better cap to use? and can you really tell the difference, bearing in mind im no mark.r. or elliot.h.
