Per Solara...either one would work....the other benefit if you get the LCD box is you can update the firmware on your ESC whenever they come out with one and also if you decide to get the SP GT PRO speedos, you can use the same box.

Silver Arrow V2.0 1/8 Brushless ESC with Multi ESC Program Card and GENS ACE 5000mah 3S1P 11.1V 40C hard case Lipo battery.
I also bought a Silver Arrow V2.0 5.5R that I'm keeping for my SC10 4x4. I originally purchased the items direct from SP USA for my SC truck but realized that the battery I also purchased (from HobbyPartz) was way too big for the SC10. The ESC runs better with 3-4 cell lipo packs compared to 2 cells. Thus the reason why I purchased the 3 cell lipo hardcase.

Tech Rookie
sorry to sound like a noob, but i am looking at replacing a broken tekin rs pro with a speed passion esc. thing is on the site i don't know what to choose from
Whats the differences from the
GT V2.1 EX Brushless ESC
GT2.0 LPF Brushless ESC
GT2.1 Prostock ESC
GT2.0 Pro Brushless ESC
I have read the description but it does not tell me much, help would be much appreciated or a site that might link the specs of each?
Thanks

save your money, new sp esc coming out soon
but if your just racing stock blinky, get the lpf, cheapest and just as good as the rest

If you run the no timing software on your ESC, it will result in the led at the bottom flashing continuosly. Hence the name ' Blinky Mode'.

That was my thinking too until I did the testing. If I ran my original v.3.0(with 10degree upgrade) Speed passion motor with the 10.4 ratio everything was awesome. It is a 417 car with 113 spur, 21t pinion... (113/21)*1.94=10.439. Temp was about 115 after 5 minutes.
If I run the new MMM with the same gearing of 10.4 then I see the heat issue. The only difference I can see is that I had my MMM turned to highest possible timing.
I even have the 10degree board in my v3.0 original.
My car was the fastest on the straight and had decent bottom end. In fact I was thinking of going to a ratio closer to 11 for next race.
I tried 7:1, 8:1 and 9:1... all of them lacked power and speed on our carpet track. The 10.4:1 was the best by far. My lap time is about 1 second difference from 6.5:1 compared with 10.4:1... my driving line was the same.
>.. Anyways... I am just curious about timing of motors... do people run them lowest timing possible on motor... or highest and why. I obviously will try it out next time however I am going to IIC so I just wanted people's input.
Also FYI, I run a ratio of 4.1:1 without boost and at IIC I will definitely run at least an 8:1 ratio to start for 17.5 boosted due to the larger track.

What is your 323stock setup...?
About timing board in the motor...the V3 came standard 10° board. MMM came standard with 20° board. It is not the option, those are standard, and I always run 10° back then when 20 and 30* were not even the option...Now, I think my latest setup (carpet season just started and there are no BOOST class no more) was about 22°. And no...you don't run minimum motor timing, nor run MAX motor timing...is depends on track size, and esc setup.
If your temp is 115 after 5 minutes running BOOST class...there must be something wrong there. Don't get me wrong...I WISH we are all getting only 115° running boost class and be fast...but we are all reaching 180-190° almost to the line that will blow up the motor in order to be fast....115° is just way too good to be true (that still be fast).
Your MMM getting hot is because the board inside (RED BOARD) is 10 plus degree more then the black V3 board (which is only 10° max)...you max out the MMM, that is 20° timing....if your ESC setting does not change, of course it will get hotter because you are simply adding 10°+ then your V3 setup.
Also...if you are running MMM 17.5 for blinky class.....your 4.1 final is about right. Make sure you use the green sensor board and crank to full right 30°. You might need to gear up 1 or 2 tooth...again, talk to BILL SYDOR, he was TQ last year at IIC for stock 17.5.
And ask him about superstock 17.5...and have him to look at your 323stock setting...I think there must be something you did that is completely different then what we used for boosted 17.5....10.4 final is just crazy.
Good luck at IIC...
