If you can. spend a bit more f the R...more efficient and leaves you room to grow if you plan on going to lower turn motor or use boost in future.

as I said before, My 22 came with the gt 2.0 pro. How does this esc compare to say the tekin rs series? Also it came with a hobbywing programmer box, looks to be the same as the sp one looking at the pics. I tired connecting it to the esc but it wont go pass the screen that says connecting esc? Do I need to download software to my laptop or does the box do it all. Also running a tekin 10.5 motor, could someone post all the setting Im roughly should be at? Thanks

Some say smoother than a Tekin.

D/L the latest software (v1.38) here..

Update the LCD first...after that leave it plugged to your laptop and hookup your speedo...should be fine. Load/adjust whatever program you want to use on the speedo.

I believe you need to have the ESC powered via the battery as well from what I recall. You can just power it from the LCD box and the PC.

Confirm with a manual first however, but at least that is what I have to do with my HW box and the SP ESCs from what I recall.

As for performance compared to a Tekin, after owning SP, Tekin, and Castle products, I keep coming back to SP stuff as I love the interface, the performance, and the robustness of the GT2.0 Pro series of ESCs. And I am a big warranty fan which is why I also love castles 1 year warranty, but man, the SP GT2.0 Pros are killer ESCs.

If you are running it on buggy in MOD....V3 is the better choice because the 7.5 and 8.5 motor can does not have the vent holes like the other turn. They are heavily used for MOD buggy....and with the boost software, they are more then enough power for any track.

MMM is more fit for the blinky mode with 17.5 or 13.5 depends on your country's spec.........if you are running it on 13.5 or 17.5 or 21.5..MMM is your better choice. Otherwise, V3 is still the big off road favor.
Thanks

13.5t MMM ordered.

Are you talking about Reventon S(40A)? If yes, this esc don't have Stock 1 Hybrid Boost Software. Only Reventon R(70A) and Reventon Pro(140A) Support boost. And kwiksi answer is correct. thank you

For GT series: Yes, you need to connect a battery to the ESC in order to connect to computer using the LCD card.

For Reventon Series: Big no, never connect a battery to the ESC when connecting to the computer. Only need to unplug the fan during connection.

For Cirtix Series: No, Same thing unplug the fan.

I run mine with a 78/25 with a 9.5 with mod software

For 17.5 aroung 75/30 is a good place to start in blinky and gear accordingly after that

The BLAZE should be release around end of August.....as well as the 1/8th version of the BLAZE motor.
This was said a nearly 2 months back. Any more info on release date Mr Speed Passion? My fingers are getting twitchy.
