Turned on my LPF 2.0 in my cougar today and got some smoke out of my capacitor. Im not sure if any smoke came out for the esc but its all working fine. The capacitor just smells.

This is a brand new esc. Batteries were still connected, I just turned the switch on and poof. It did stop after the 3rd time I turned it on but Im afraid something may have gone wrong. I have never seen this happen. Took my car outside to inspect it and it seems fine, and drives fine.

I ordered a new cap from SP, do you guys think I need a new esc or would replacing the cap do the trick?

Those can explode sometimes, dunno why. Just replace it and your speedo works like a charm again. And dont use it without cap.

I am trying to connect my esc to the pc but the box just says connecting and the SP software has everything grayed out..what am I missing? ps my version is

V1.07_110119 lCD
and esc is V1.10_090205MOD but it won't let me update the esc? is the sofware not supported on windows 64bit?

esc is a gt 2.1EX

my LCD Box quit working...it won't show anymore text how do I go about returning it? and what is the turn around?

Not trying to make a joke..make sure red wire of the cap go to positive side of the ESC and black wire of the cap go to negative side from the ESC. If not working, just try another CAP. You must run the GT (or any esc) with cap...your ESC is fine if you are not running a race without a cap before. Just need a new cap.

Everything was installed fine. I sent it back to SP for service.

Hi guys,


I am going to run this speedo in 17.5T boosted TC class, and I am currently trying this setup: SP 323 + SP V3 17.5T

I am running med-high traction carpet on a small & technical layout. With the above setup it feels kinda dead on the bottom end. It is decent on the straight, but in the infield not much is going on, until all of the sudden a massive burst of power comes into play. This makes it very difficult to drive. It feels like an on/off switch with a big delay.

Any ideas?
