Hey everyone. Just wanted to report back on my experiences with the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro and LPF in 2wd Truck and SCT respectively.

Both vehicles were running Novak Ballistic 17.5s in an open class, tight indoor carpet over jumps. Both motors with timing retarded to 20 degrees each instead of stock 30 degrees.

Here are the settings for both vehicles (323 software):

Drag brake. 0
DRRS. 9
Brake force. 75%
Rev. force. 75%
Initial brake. 0%
Neutral range. 6%
Boost timing. 30 deg
Turbo slope. 18 deg
Overheat protection. on
Turbo timing. 12 deg
Boost start rpm. 4000
Turbo delay. Off
Timing acc. 100

The track is about 50 x 50 or so, and was setup with a lot of 180s with the final jump having a 180 before you get to it, then a 90 degree turn followed by another 90 degree turn before another jump. You carry your most speed here.

The problem I was having was with my settings against the field, I had just enough power to clear that jump if I maintained some speed or took the turn slightly wide to have some run up. Others could just punch it almost from a dead stop and clear the jump.

Now, I may have the wrong motor setup here since this is an open class, I can accept that and have a 10.5 setup for both vehicles on the ready, but right now I just am getting out *punched* over this section.

playing with the gearing though, I would be down on overall speed where I needed it (could see me topping out sooner than other cars).

So, in this situation, what would someone suggestion initially to try?

Sweat spot for the vehicles are far as gearing goes was about 22T pinion / 84T Spur. going higher I felt the motors would fade and temps were higher than I liked. Speed would go up of course, with a little loss of punch.

the competition is regularly running anywhere from 8.5 motors to castle 4600Kv or the 4 pole 3800kv motor.

Boost can make a 17.5 fast down the straight, but I doubt if you will ever get the intial punch of a 8.5, let alone a 4 pole. Sounds like it's time to motor up (and back off on the boost).

Bluetooth & Wifi is to reprogram with a smartphone instead of having a lap top.

So "Yes" you will need one or the other.

Anyone running a Silver Arrow ESC on 2s for a 4wd SC truck?

Any issues with it?
