Default 100528 firmware

Can GT2.0 Pro Brushless ESC make use of the 100528 stock firmware with turbo boost?

Both my SP GT 2.0 Pro's are showing a solid LED when I upload the No Timing Stock firmware. According to the ROAR Rules, it's suppose to blink. Am I doing something wrong? I had to lend my programmer box to the race coordinator, so they can tech my car and others.

I used a friend's Epic Duo 2 at max motor timing with a 3.48 FDR. We also had a heatsink with fan, so make sure to check your temp after 2min around the track.

Regarding the TCX for stock racing, I'm not sure you will be able to run an FDR that low. Unless you mod the motor mount. I used my Cyclone TC for that class.

I always make it a habit to calibrate after every change in firmware and/or settings. Dunno why, just do.

But still a solid red LED.

I just switched my 2.0 LPF to the no timing firmware and the light will stay Solid until you turn your radio on. After you turn your Radio on, the light will blink and you can then turn your radio off and it will continue to blink. This was tested with my 3PKS FASST radio setup.

Thanks, Jimmy. I will confirm. ROAR should've added the "when in neutral" clause in their rules for the SP ESC's.

Is the 100528 Software installed on the 2.1 Pro ESC?

It's not stated on the USA website or King Golden site.
