Quick question for the SP guys. I have an SP GT 2.0 Pro that I got last year, and I ran it in my touring car with a 4.5. Now that I'm sticking to offroad, I am hoping to run this in my new Losi 22 buggy, but it of course doesn't fit under the body with the fan. My question is, can I run this speedo without the built-in fan running a 7.5 turn x12? No fan is the only way this speedo will fit in this car.

Im running mine with no fan on my CR buggy, esc is barely warm with a 17.5. A fellow racer at my local track is running a 10.5 with his GT 2.0 and no fan and has had no problems. I would make sure the overheat protection is enabled and run it.

Thanks, but a 17.5 and a 10.5 is not a 7.5... anybody know for sure if I can run this without a fan?

Yes, the fan might not blow directly to the heat sink but with that position, it can still blow toward the ESC with some kinda cooling...better then nothing.
And I have use 6.5 on TC without fan on my GT2 Pro...I am sure TC ran hotter on the ESC then off road....

Btw I think 323 will have to much drag brake for off road even when turned off.
I had to add some throttle creep with the trim button.

Thanks Ritchie... Same car actually, but just rebuilt it into it's rear motor config. And since now that I have a lot more room under the body, I can run a better mod speedo than the Tekin. Even though the SP is the largest speedo I have ever seen, it is far smoother, and much more robust for the low turn mod motors. I'm excited to get it wired up now. My first couple runs, what kind of temp numbers should I be trying to keep under when temping the heat-sink.

Need help please. After hours of searching threads and researching prices for all kinds of esc's , I have decided to get either the speedpassion gt2.1 ex or the gt2.1 pro stock and the V3 17.5 motor. My question is what is the difference between the 2 esc's. Is it just the software? I will be racing stock 17.5 short course class and anything goes as far as boost and timing. Do I have to purchase something else to upgrade the software or does that come with the esc?
Thanks for replies......
