Hello, I just noticed this morning the 428 driver update, so I downloaded it thinking newer is better. I am just catching up on this thread, and I noticed that the software is intended for boost. I am running my GT2.0 in a TC6 17.5 blinky car. I am anticipating running at the On Road Paved Nationals. Do I need to reload the older software?
Also, would there be any advantage for me to upgrade to the New Option High Power Capacitor Part No.# EXT98802-C01.? Thanks Yes...that CAP is what we used for MOD and STOCK. |

Does this ESC have reverse? Reverse or not is depends on the software....only drift, rock crawler and mod 0 will have the reverse feature, however, if you are running USGT, must use stock 0 software and that has no reverse function. |
Radio calibration problem: Cirtix Club + Old Futaba FM
I did a quick search in this forum but didn't see any relevant answers. But if this has been answered before, I apologize.
I have an old (13 years or so) Futaba 3TPDF FM radio. My question is: Are old radios like this inoperable for use with the Speed Passion Cirtix? The radio/receiver works fine with my old Novak Expolorer2 Brushed ESC + brushed motor + NiCd batteries. However, when I try to use it for the Cirtix, the esc doesn't detect throttle or brake during calibration. As a result, there is no forward or brake and the relevant LED's show that no signal is being detected. Steering works fine btw. I've tried throttle servo reversing on the transmittrer. I've tried maxing out (also minimizing)the throttle ATV and brake, EXP as well. And also tried various combinations of motors, sensor wire in sensor wire out, different lipo batteries, etc. My theory is that the old radio just doesn't have a clearly defined neutral deadband like the new radios have and thus the esc doesn't "see" the change from full throttle to neutral to brake. But I was wondering if anyone else may have had this problem and if there was a fix. I do have a brand new Futaba 3PMX that works fine with the Cirtix. However, I was hoping to use the old radio for my wife and/or son to play with for now. Thanks in advance. Paul |
ESC Set Up
Hy guys,
new on eletrical world. Can you please give me a reference to start with the ESC GT2 PRO (Stock driver instaled). The intention is to use with a 10.5T Engine (LRP X-12) on a Serpent S411TE. I have no idea of initial sets I have to choose on the LCD Card. Thank you very much Cestari |
Cirtix Stock Club Race ESC
Guys,
do you think I can use this ESC without fan cooler on a 1:12 Pan Car with 10.5T Sportsman V2 motor ? 2S is the batery I have intaled on it. There is no space to the cooler unless I cut the body. Thank you very much Cestari |

Hy Solara,
thanks for the anwser. On the link you posted, there is just one 10.5T esc set up valid for GT 2.1ProStock. This is not exately the esc I'm using. My ESC is the GT2 PRO. Can I assume the set up would be the same for both ? Once again Thank you for the support on it. Cestari |
All,
I have tried searching the tread but it seems to come up blank :-( can someone tell me if the MMM series of motors have a thermal sensor in them? The manual for a V3.0 states they do but the MMM doesn't mention it at all. I'm looking to try out a new class and want the added protection Cheers |

There are no feature like motor thermal protection, we cannot protect motor overheating due to over timing, over gearing and or under gearing. |

It depends on how you asked the question....if you want to prevent the motor from overheating because of too much timing/boost from the ESC or from the end bell's over timing, the thermal sensor within the motor will NOT going to protect you from burning the motor.
