I'd recommend contacting SP HQ at '[email protected]' as this is what Solara suggested I do..

Best regards,

Thank you...

Got a large race meeting this weekend and am only running 10.5 v3 motor so need stock profiles. Any help will be great.
Using the LCD programmer box, along with your computer, and the latest 1.35 software should get you the latest 101212_Stock software, that you can use with your 10.5 and full SUPERCHARGER feature...528 is no longer the latest stock software.

If the LCD box said need the update, you have to download this file and get the whole program update, then refresh your LCD programmer box. The file is below...unzip and install.

this probably has already been answered before but the programmer box that came with my GT V2.0 ESC only goes up to I think 10 settings (cant remember) but then the set up sheet has settings for up to 13 (cant remember that either). Whats needed to adjust for those extra settings?

Yeah finally figured it out. The lcd box needed updating and after that the new software updated to both my 2.1 prostock and 2.1 ex with no problems.

Thanks again.

i am going to be running my GT2.0 for our 0Timing races here in NL is it ok to run the speedo without the Caps ?? if not will i be able to use a smaller cap as the standard ones are well .........HUGE

also i have noticed that at ETS some of the quicker drivers (using Citrix and 13.5v3) have more power then the the "slower" drivers what are the tuning tricks for the SP v3 motor ????

I don't know what is T2 internal is but for 17.5 V3, you can try running 3.7~4 final and check motor temp and feel after like 5-7 laps.

I think you can gear up more...no timing ESC is totally awesome.
Hi Solara

thank you for your reply and information on up coming products cheers mate

looking forward to having a run with the motor timing up at 10 and finding the right gearing

thanks for your help

i wanna use my SP GT2.0 ESC on my 12th scale with 1S battery, will be using a separate 2S Life battery for Rx/servo power.

my question is, do i need to disable the low voltage cut-off of the ESC? right now when i switch it ON with freshly charged 1S battery, the speedo beeps twice with 1-sec interval indicating low voltage.

t-i-a

i run the low voltage cutoff in the off position because when u get to the end of a run the pack will draw down below 3.0 and the car will shut off but be very careful on how long you run

One way to gain speed over your competitors is to degrease the 2 motor bearings and use light oil. It will make you go 3-5 km/h faster. There are some other stuff as well i am sure.

Now you know why i think the "0" rule and to spec everything to get a so called equality between drivers is just a load of bs ...see you at the mach!

you see to me that just doesn't make sense, " turn outs gonna be low so I'm not going", and because you don't go, well.... turn out is low. time for another excuse if you ask me. blame bush or obama or the economy just get a better excuse.

besides turn out for this carpet nats is just fine. I believe its darn near a sell out.
