5.how long does it take to get them once the order is placed from the usa?




thanks for any input

The batteries last just fine and should work great for those applications.

Not sure how long it will take to get them at the moment. It depends on availability.

I think I want to give a Speed Passion a try, but where can I find them in stock?

That's the biggest problem right now. They have been selling like hot-cakes. I was told there should be more coming in the next couple weeks.

ok well I am getting an rx8 cause I have one that went out so when I get it back I'll install it....I will continue to use the speedpassion in my 1/10th 2wd..but my question is which programming card do I need to custom set boost kicking in etc? I currently have the speed passion mutli esc program box

PN#SPESCPB01

I also have the one that came with the esc(I bought the other one thinking I'd need it...anyway how would I go about custom setting when the timing kicks in?

Thanks,
Jayson

It depends which firmware is on the ESC. if you have the LCD "pro" programming box it should tell you the firmware you are running. 323stock firmware has the turbo delay setting and rpm start setting. So you can choose the RPM you want the turbo to kick in at. It works together with the delay so if you set the delay to .5 seconds the turbo won't kick in until .5 seconds after you pull full throttle, but only when you reach the desired start rpm also.

Post which firmware you are running to get the best answer though.

cm.stites 10-30-2011 01:33 PM

to get the custom settings you need the lcd programming box which is the one that does not come with any of the combos. it will have the usb port on the side and will have come with the cable.

I know I asked this a page back or so, but could you suggest a good starting point for the following set up:

Yokomo B-max4 II (87 spur puts final drive ratio very close to b44 with 81t spur)
Speedpassion V3 6.5 turn
Speedpassion lpf 2.0 with 323 firmware

I had an older Orion 7.5 in this recently geared 18/87 and it just didn't seem to have any "snap" or top end to it. I went from no boost up to 20* and even added 10* turbo on it to see if that would wake it up. Local track has a double right out of a slow 180 and most of the 4wd's clear it fairly easily. I was having to be very precise to make it clean. As I mentioned the motor is a couple years old so I ordered the SP 6.5 today and just want a good starting point on both gearing and speedo setup if possible.

NitroLuver 10-30-2011 09:02 PM

I am still having an issue with this speedo..I re-programmed, and re-geared my 17.5 and it still was very slow...what do you guys think is the problem?

With a 7.5 it should have been plenty fast. 6.5 should tequire very little if any boost or turbo. I recently set a guy up with a 6.5 and had nothing added. It was very fast. I run a 7.5 with about 15 boost and 20 turbo. Usually it's turned down though. Check the last setting (#15) it should be between 400 and 600 for that car/motor.
Maybe go up a couple teeth though on the pinion though with the 7.5. should be good for the 6.5

Did you check the slipper clutch?

What car? What gearing? What firmware? And what settings do you have on it?

Yeah, the slipper was actually too tight for my taste. The factory sends out the pre-built slipper center with several shims behind the slipper nut so you can't loosen it a whole lot. I removed some of them yesterday so I can obtain the setting I like.

The 7.5 was an older (2-3 years old) motor and I'm having some cogging issues at very slow speeds with it, too. Hopefully it's just worn out and the new SP 6.5 will bring things to life and stop that issue as well.

Let us know what happens with the new motor.
Cogging could be the sensor wire or the sensor board in the motor. The gt series will run most motors sensorless with no problems if the wire pops off or something. You just lose the boost and turbo timing. with a 7.5 i have had races where the sensor wire popped off or broke and i hardly noticed. Actually, with no boost it probably helped more than hurt. :lol:
