quick report on yesterday's races using GT2.0 For SCT 2wd, 2wd ST, and SCT 4x4.
using the LPF in the SCT 2wd, the Pro's in ST, and SCT 4x4.
both 2wd using Novak 10.5s and the SCT 4x4 using a 550 Tekin SCX 5.5.
I started with the setup I saw for the SCT-E 4x4 using the novak 550 ballistic 5.5 I believe as I figured it would be a bit more conservative. I also combined this with the recommended settings in the 323 stock software guide for I believe an 11.5 for offroad turned down slightly since the novaks start with there 30 degree timing thing.
On the tight track here, I found that I needed basically to turn all the boost off for the 4x4 to get the temps down into a reasonable range. As the track had a lot of 180s, I found that I had too much power and was jamming the brakes too much heating stuff up. The actual speed of the vehicle was sufficient so I wasn't at the high end of the throttle range all the time or too low.
The SP GT2.0 Pro performed flawlessly in my SC10 4x4. Very impressed.
It also did the same on the T4.1 , wheels on command, almost too much power.
the SC10 felt a bit down on power with the LPF, and I needed to adjust the gearing more, probably part of the issue.
All in all, the Speed passion stuff was excellent. May just pickup a pro version for the SC10 too.

I actually decided to go with all Speed Passion stuff at least for my 2wd stuff. Picked up 2 9.5R V3 competition motors to try out. Last time I had 1/10 speed passion stuff I really liked it, so will give it a go again.

Tubular Heater: It is an electric heater in wide range of ratings and sheath materials. The tubular heater forms in various shapes with advantage of improved heat distribution with simple installation and application.
Construction: Tubular Heater is made up of for metal to suit applications, surrounds a nickel chrome resistance wire centered and packed by an electrical insulator. This gives a resistance spiral with varied heat concentrations protected by atmospheric corrosion. These tubular heaters can be fitted with mounting bushes, flanges, header bosses etc., to suit the installation.

Does anyone have any experience using the Silver Arrow V2 motor in a 4x4 SCT? Is it basically a 550 motor like stuff from Tekin, etc?
Thinking of using this in an SC104x4 as I like the vented design.
What is the kv rating on the 5.5R Silver Arrow V2?
