Wow! A Yokomo blue Pro would be really nice, but on the other hand, I might just wait and compare specs and prices with the EX as my B-Max4 will probably not hit the track not before February anyway...

US....October...Price, lower then the other competition top of the line ESC by at least 20%.

Yes, blinky version already tested and submitted to ROAR. But we are still testing the boost software....

Leisure Hours is a monster track. Even on the "shortend" layout, you still have ~230ft of full throttle time so these setups are very track specific. Outdoor temps were 90F+ as well.

For 17.5: MMM motor, 3.31FDR, Green timing board set to ~23deg. Motor fan REQUIRED

For 13.5: MMM motor, 3.97FDR, Green timing board set to ~23deg. Motor fan REQUIRED

And the feeling is the same than the GT2.0 series? especially about brake feeling?
