Mike Dunnigan has won several large races, including the ROAR Nationals with his Keyence....

As fas as for programming, KO VIS 2000 is the most advance speedo..

Also, Keyence is not the smallest, in fact, it is still considered big in my opinion. But in case to all of you whom have not noticed, somehow (honestly don't know why), Vzero Extreme will not burn your brush and comm after few more runs compared to any other speedo with the same gearing on the car. This what makes it a really really great speedo..

About no/verry little teamdriver using it (no offense to anyone), I guess when you make the best, you should not worry people not buying it. Samething happened to Protrak charger.

I have one. It's great! I know that the LRP is smaller, and there may be others... However, one reason that I preferred the Keyence is because it does not require the use of an external diode!

Also, it is very polite. Everytime I turn it on it says "HELLO"!

So what type settings you guys doing with the stock and mod motors? and does the thing say hello every time its turn on?

I may have to get me one soon...

My bad!!! The display scrolls "HELLO". My ESC has never audibily said anything to me.

For the record, though, my Pit Lamp does talk to me, but I'll never admit to it if someone asks.

I race stock 1/12th scale and I'm using the default setting.

i used 2 have 2 of these little boxes.
tat is until i started running novak brushless...but tat's another story althought.
the keyence is great.i liked it especially when u can jus adjust any settings on it with ur transmitter without any other external unit...

also...the oni esc tat i have used so far to greet mi with HELLO msg everytime i switched it on

I think that the Ko is adjustable with the help of their version of the pitwizard BUT......as a stand alone unit the Keyence is the best. Even with the pit wizard type thing the Ko is limited to what freq. you can use. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

manual, if you got the japanese version(if anys there) and use a program to translate, heck the library's got translationsssssssss.

Andrew Cartwright who is one of schumachers top drivers uses a keyence, as they imported by schumacher USA. its a great ESC, I recently got two and a friend has been using one with great success. I didn't have much problems programming it.

Andrew finished 2nd overall in the open mod at the last reedy race......

Later EddieO

Yes, KO needs another hardware to do the programming, the best is through PC. In turn, programming is much easier.

Yes, freg is limited but already cover all needed low and high freg as you can imagine. In keyence, freg is adjustable but on a flat/fixed freq along with throtle trigger, not stepped/user choice at any throtle trigger as with KO VIS2000.

Both are great and very advance ESCs.

Has anyone tried the GM SX12 speed control?

Yes I did! It is very smooth but powerfull, very difficult to program though! For advance setting you need to have GM Commander!
I still like my Keyence better!
Gm is comparable to Nosram Dominator Evolution! take a look!

still debating between the Keyence and new Quantum 2's.
anyone run the new Quantums yet?
