You will need a SP GT PRO 2.0 or wait for the new Reventon Pro to come out.

Thanks Raul, I have tried 2 different sensor wires. One new and one for a car that is running fine.

I will check the "LED" to see what happens....then it could either be the sensor on the motor or the sensor inside the ESC, correct? I am going to try my Novak to see if it does the same thing. And if it does it has to be the ESC I guess.

You don't think I am asking the ESC to do too much with the 4.5 550 motor connected to it, do you??

If you have a hugh track and want to go the INSANE route...use 323STOCK with 4.5T motor. If you want something alittle bit mild...119MOD. If you want the straight mod without boost and still be fast, use the 205g with 4.0T motor.

Marc Rheinard still a believer of non boost and he is still very fast with a 3 years old 205g program.

Hey guys when trying to find proper gearing what's a good time to check and what should the temperature be? Running a v 3 13.5 (not mom) in short course in blinky

HI,
I'm trying to find the Stock 17.5 ESC motor combo and no one has one. Have been looking for about 3-4 months. Have tried all the big named places on line. Any suggestions on where we can find them in stock?

Thank you for any of your help with this matter.

Michele

Man do you gotta gear these funky? Thing was fast.. but I wanted a little more hit.. so I dropped a tooth on the pinion and it felt even flatter? Weird .. also could someone explain the punch setting in blinky?

Not had a chance to play with blinky but if you can take the drrs up 9
Gearing will be tall.....for more punch go to a larger spur and gear up pinion wise acoording
My sons xxxt with 205 no speedo timing I geared it 26 88 and it was plenty fast.....could have geared up more

I check temps every minute....but also try to listen to hear if it runs out of gear

I was running #2 punch and 23/84.. swapped to #7 punch and 22/84 and had even more trouble clearing the two jumps I was trying to work on. Only thing I was thinking was wheel spin possibly..maybe I needed to go even bigger pinion so it could hook up better? Temps were 137 after a solid 7-8 minutes of practice.

Id go up a couple of teeth....drrs at 6.....try that....if your close...go up to 86 spur...and gear up another tooth if you need a little more punch
