You can use a 25v 2200uf. Bit smaller than and equiv. to the 4 bank.

The Bigger the single cap is the slower it;'s charge curve and the less it is going to filter out the high frequency fluctuations that the 4 bank will

im assuming i just use one cap per esc? the tekin ones come in a 2 pack and can this capacitor also be used on the lpf. running these in dirt oval cars and they have a small are for mounting the esc's

so something like this would work http://www.amazon.com/2200uf-Capacit...ref=pd_vtp_e_1

Granted a larger cap takes longer to charge up, but are you sure about it being less effective at filtering high frequencies?

Track would be indoor clay, high traction, bluegroove. straightway isn't super long, jumps are moderate, perhaps one large double with a 4-6ft gap.

It seemed no one answered the question of which to go where. I use the Pro in the 4wd. It draws more amps through the system with all 4 wheels turning so since it is rated to a lower turn motor it is better suited in the 4wd buggy. Either will work great in the 2wd though.

Let us know.
I agree to try raising the DRRS and gearing up. I'm running 25/78 on the 22 with a 7.5 right now. I used the same gearing on a 120' straight track and the 60' straight track at the Hobbytown too.
From my experience the smooth bottom end is what you want. I've had the best results with the DRRS at 1 or 2 and no boost at all in mod. Also turned the motor timing all the way down.

Perhaps the diff or slipper is slipping. I find that on tiny tracks I sometimes need a tighter slipper cuz there just isn't any run up to allow for the slipper to slip and still make a jump.

So I have been told by a electrical engineer friend

New to touring cars. What SP ESC would you recommend when will be in both Blinky 17.5 class and Boosted 17.5 class?

Thanks,
Rob

There is a Speed Passion thread in the onroad section, you may get a better answer there.

For stock, I would think they would recommend that 2.1 stock ESC or whatever its called.

Thanks. I looked over the setup sheet, it should be what I need.

What is the rating on the esc, I figured they were no limit. talked to a couple racers today at one of the regional series that we're having. We talked about motor choices, and I may need to up my power. Looks like 6.5 for 2wd and maybe 8.5 for 4wd.

I'm getting excited to start racing again.

Just kidding, it's late, yes, I agree, the motors seem backwards.

I run the lpf in my dex410 but im only running a 8.5 i have ran a 6.5 on it in the 4wd with no issues but if your wanting alot of boost i would use the pro.
