Does anyone know if the speed power batteries come with the balancer connector or do i need to order one seperately.

I'm in need of a replacement capacitor set for a 2.0 LPF esc, but the only thing I see on the site is the optional high power cap bank. Is that the only thing available?

Ayone know if the GT2.1 Prostock esc has a blinky feature? I have boost and timing shut off and no blinky, is there another setting that needs to be changed or does it not blink?

You would need to change the software to the no timing for it to operate in blinky mode.

if you changed it to the non timing blinky mode it should be flashing but it may be hard to see because the light is usually towards the bottom. which firmware did you put on it?

That's the boost program. You need the no boost firmware. I forget the number offhand.

Oooops. I thought I did the right one. Is it the esc or the card I got wrong?

Here is the way I see it. I race on a smaller tight Indoor track with a straight that might be between 80 to 100 ft. Come summer, when many will switch to an outdoor track, I can see the choice in motor changing.

With the 2wd, i figured I would need to go a tad faster. Talking with a pro, he said that he was almost at the max running 7.5 in 4wd, so i figured if I up the timing and changed to boosted software, an 8.5 in 4wd could be made quick.

What's a realistic amount of boost one needs in 2wd and 4wd?
