Are there any mod buggy users using the mod firmware (non turbo) over the stock 1 (hybrid boost)? If so, why

Can't wait to test it. When I used more recent v3.1 copy cats I could never seem to to adjust punch in a way I could go on power early from a wall ride (without doing wheelies) and also our triple (without nosing up so often)

I run the Mod0 because I can enable reverse when I want to run with it.

Did two cycles at my indoor track. Kinda refreshing to be able to run 6° dead band without issues compared to my old HW. Brakes are definitely weak at 75% though probably due to my initial brake being at 0%. Power wise feels about the same, not weak or blisteringly powerful. Running 4wd mod buggy, 6.5t, FDR close to 10.0. Time will tell on race night. So far, impressions are good. Low profile fan is also a nice touch. Initially didn't like the 4 cap capacitor and smaller than a grain of rice on off switch but I've gotten used to them.

Installed and Ran my Reventon Pro after running LRP's for the past 10 months. Night and day in my opinion. Soldering tabs are awesome, setup is the same "easy", speedo was smooth and quiet. Never really got to warm running a 7.0 in my Buggy. Can't wait to play around with it some more.

anybody hear anything about the status of theit 1/8 scale esc ?

I was looking for one a couple weeks ago and they aren't currently selling them. Their website says out of stock but Amains website says discontinued.

In the short term I picked up a Trackstar 150A ESC and installed it. Happy enough. Then I found a good deal on a Tekin RX8 Gen 2 and grabbed that as well. Looking forward to trying that one.

I was often told the lrp Esc's and motors (but would heat up) were one of the strongest Esc's/motors

How do they compare with feel? My only gripe with the reventon pro is the lvc is inconsistent so I've decided to turn it off which is ok for racing /practice in indoor. So far one of the more if not most consistent Esc I've used... Compared to a few hobby kings, 2x hw v2.1 and a 160a Toro

Been using SP for years and enjoy their reliability. They do have terrible Customer Service though. You have to be very patience when returning items that have failed which is only one esc in 4 years. Took 3 months to get it back. I just bought one extra for times like that. It's always a good idea to have an extra. Cheap enough to allow me to afford more then a few. What is lvc? You mentioned you turned it off, what does it control? All my SP run cool along with the motors too.

Lvc is low voltage cutoff

Curious if anyone is still running the SP BLAZE series motors?

Since the SilverArrow seems to be MIA, I will probably go with the new HW 8th scale ESC. http://hobbywing.com/goods.php?id=33....0.0.0.0.0.0.0

For those who HAVE run the Blaze series, in keeping with my SP allegiance, what is the optimal motor for an RC8.2E?


Also, I may break into the 12th scale game as well, will a Reventon StockClub ESC work on 1s? wondering about a 13.5 1s 12th scale, or do I need to get the reventon EX to have 1s capability? Any other 12th scale drivers in here? (yes this is Offroad....)


MOmo

Club stock is a 2s ESC, if you're going to stick with SP you'll need to run the Pro 1.1 EX. Had one for a while, super smooth always came off just warm to the touch in a 17.5 blinky car, but unfortunately it developed the dreaded cogging issue so it was replaced with a HW v3.1 1s.

Have done up to 15 cycles in the 1.1 pro, quite happy with it so far. Increased brakes to 20% initial force, overall nice and smooth. Will test it soon with a 5.5t

Geez, duh, that one got by me....

Some further testing, upped initial brake to 30% and think I've found my esc setup for carpet. The weak brakes were holding me back.. Have shaved off over a second from first cycle. Hasn't let me down on carpet yet...

The prototypes that were being used last summer were held back to move ahead faster with the new 1/10 ESC that people are seeing on the Facebook page. That should be released soon.


You running on a small indoor track or large outdoors? In most cases the 1800kv is more than enough power. Usually traction is more the issue with the big car putting down the power. If the track is larger try the 2100kv. There is a 2450kv, but I would make sure your eBuggy is able to actually use that power with the traction available.


Nice. Fabio Ramos from Portugal is a very fast astro/carpet racer using Speed Passion. They'll have setups from him posted in the near future.
