Blackdiamond Esc settings
 

Awaiting delivery of the New Esc from CRC delivery due at end of the week. Does any one have any info on settings for 1/12th racing 10.5 and 17.5 1S lipo power pack.
TXS in advance

my question is, does anyone have dimensions on these esc's?

The size of the low profile.
Size: 38x32x15 mm
the size of the TC spec
Size: 38x32x22 mm (excl fan)

thanks

any weights to go with that?

My question is, can anyone afford these ESC's? Is it really $350-$400?

it does seem very expensive. i hope that's msrp and not retail.

It's the price you will pay.
It's expensive but do you want to pay so much for it as there are other speedo's that can go as fast as this one with new software?
It will be the fastest in the beginning but for how long?
The settings are limited compared to a Tekin, Gm and others.

I stay with the Tekin and wait for new updates.

No sorry.

I now it has 5 profiles and that you have a few drag brake and brake settings and that's it.

I was going to buy one until I seen the price.

unfortunately $350 is street price for the 1-cell model. Once other manufactures catch up I would expect the price to drop significantly but I wouldn't expect anyone to do so this season. Based on the info I got from Tekin they are working on an update to shrink the gap but it sounds as though though they don't expect to match it this season.

i guess we'll have to wait and see what the lrp sxx stock spec can do.

It will be close but don't worry. The most comes out of the driver.
And how many people want to spend so much money for a speedo that is in a few months cheaper than it now is and as fast as the speedo's that there are now already and will come with software updates?
I just wait and I believe that Tekin will find the power to close the gap.

Last race I became 4th and before me were 3 SPX drivers and after me was a LRP TC. I was never so close to the podium in time and place.
The nr 2 till 5 were driving the same lap times.
Tekin gave me already a lot of power and I'm very thank full for that and I will keep driving Tekin.
Service and support are the best.

Just put it in profile 5 and set it for lipo.
and gear it very hevy an goooo powerrrrr
only check your temp of the motor not hot ,bigger pinion:cool:
more power;)

Aside from the Tekin they all seem to get cheaper or discontinued in 6 months so I fail to see the difference between the AE & LRP speedos on that front. Regarding your pace comparison between the tekin and SPX speedos on 1-cell, although the spx seems to maybe have a slight advantage over the tekin, from what I have seen its not enough to make any real difference. I have been happy with my Tekin speedos and if they told me in a month or 2 they would be on par with the AE unit I would have stuck with it but with that not being the case I am thankful for the great performance it faster now.

street price
 

In the Uk the Blackdiamond is selling for £234 approx $375 .This is on par with most of the other top of the range Escs .
The LRP spx is £225 $360 ,the Tekin with Hot wire is about the same as is the Gm.
No price yet on the new LRP sxx.So if it makes you happy buy it, if not waste your money on some thing else.

I didn't think you'd be long getting one of these Vince!

I hope you found the problem with your car on Saturday. Was it the RX pack?

Trev

you need to shop around a bit.. tekin is $210 hotwire is $35 got my setup used for $160...

seems kinda strange to have both these comments in the same post.

he said in the UK the they cost that much, so I'M thinking maybe were not the ones overpaying for a foriegn made ESC. lol

$150 for shipping just seems a little high to get it from stormer to the uk..;)

350-400 no way jose, i'll wait for tekin.

Here is the price for Black Diamond ESC:

• Black Diamond 1/10 Touring $447.00 (299 Euro)
• Black Diamond 1/12 $359.00 (240 Euro)

How many Tekin RS's can I buy?

stormer has the RS for like $159 so... you can buy like 2.4ish of them :)

At the Halloween Classic in Cleveland, all 10 cars in the 17.5 12th A were Tekin equipped. I personally know of two drivers that ran SPX's pulled them out, put in Tekins and immediately went faster. The Tekin is all about the set-up. When it's right it's FAST. I hjave no doubt that they'll figure out a way to match the advanced, the only question is when.......

Tekins software development programme is constantly ongoing.

The RS has all the right bits inside the case, and look how fast the ESC has become since the 180 software... :sneaky::tire:

Yes the setup decides how fast you go. My car was the fastest on the track only the driver stayed behind:sweat:
I got one driver that complaint about no power with his Tekin. I gave him my setup and he won from me. That is the thanks you get for helping some one.


It's a big difference.
I believe they will succeed this time again.

I stick with Tekin. On 1 thing they are still unbeaten and will stay unbeaten and that is service.:nod:
The best service I ever got from any company.
If you have a problem they help you. When you mail them they reply and always do there best to help you.
I don't now how it will be with the Advance but LRP and GM are not replying on your complaints. The software of the GM is not for free. Also you must send your speedo to GM.
For what I now you must send the Advance speedo also to update it.
Tekin sends you the update for free!!!:nod: You get each time a new speedo for free.

What is this thread?

I swear its titled Black Diamond ESC settings

Not the "the speedo war"

Jeze.

True but it would also require that this speedo be available to discuss the settings.

Not a war at all, just posting some ideas, while I wait for one...

Maybe 9 out of 10 were Tekin. I ran an LRP SPX ;)

most of the tracks out here in ca are not allowing the speedo cause it will kill racing i have seen what this speedo can do and its a unfair advantage in 1/12and wgt any 1s lipo class at the iic a guy fliped off the track twice and still tqed now if that is not unfair i dont know what is

What so special about this ESC co'z the price is redicolous.

Are they going to outlaw the LRP and Tekin when the new speedo and software updates come out that make them as fast as the AE unit?

I can see outlawing them in 17.5 class until the others catch up but after that its fair game.

And at the IIC the TQ did not "Flip off the track twice" on his TQ run. Thats a little far fetched..I was there and seen it too.

EA

Can someone from CRC (Frank?) post up and let us know if the Advanced ESC is approved by ROAR?

Ad the moment it has the most power the first 10 meter. Here it drives away from all the others. Top speed is the same as the other speedo's.

Unfair?
Was it unfair when Tekin came with his speedo and the others were driving still the LRP TC? Or was it fair to get a SPX wile others were not having one?
I don't now if you can say that. You can buy also one or wait till the other speedo's catch up.
LRP comes with a new speedo, Tekin, GM and the other speedo's that you can update will come with updates and sooner or later the speed will be quit the same again.
In the TC 10,5 lipo class the difference is a bit smaller but in the classes like 1 cell 1:12 were you have not as much as power, the difference is big.

I heard he was also pulling wheelies down the straight every lap.

Must speedo's be roar approved?
I thought only motors and Cell's and lipo's.

My bad, I thought I was reading "Tekin fanboy lovefest Thread #937" :lol:

lets take another off that list

I qualified 4th with my Nosram stock spec in front of your Tekin and would of finished higher had not I decided to wait at the park and ride in turn 2 on the start. doh! you might of gone faster then you had before but you just caught up to me barely :eek:

2009 Halloween Classic

1-12th Stock A Main Round# 6, Race# 10

Driver________Fast Lap__
Ruggles, Ian 11.547
Dirla, Robert 11.516

Personally I say let them run in whatever class. This will be the same arguement everytime a new esc is brought out or new software is produced. Quit the whining and just race...lol!
