LRP America
 
Hi All,
I talked to the sales representative at LRP America and he confirmed that LRP Germany has some financial difficulties, but LRP America has no issue at all. The only thing is that the distribution owner changed end of 2016/ early 2017. AKA is now the distributor of LRP in north america.
You should give them a call in the early afternoon and explain the issue you have with your order. They usually very helpful and considering.
I hope this information helps.

Hi. I have the Flow Works Team. I was running a Sphere Competition before this. Running the same 3.5T motor on both without a fan and no boost, the Flow runs hotter even though it is rated for .5 of a turn motor less.

I'm getting temperatures of about 63 Degrees Celsius measured with my own gauge, but when I check the temperature with the ESC it says >45 Degrees C which means the cut off temperature would be around 110 Celsius or possibly more.

Is it OK for this controller to run that high? Say 90-100C constantly?

The flow got stronger brakes and this result in a higher ESC temps.
63 degrees C isn't a problem, when you run a 3.5.

Thanks but what about the cut-off at 110C? Is this right? Does that mean it can run at 90-100C without a problem?

My Flow Works Team is brand new and I'm fairly sure it is the 1.4 version. It has 7 modes in total. As far as I can tell all the other versions have more than 7 modes.

The turbo mode has 5 blinks rather than 3 as shown in the instructions. Is this what others with this controller are getting as well?

Does that mean the turbo mode will keep increasing timing after 3 blinks? It doesn't show in the instructions.

Thanks for the reply, frustrating this is such a pain to try to use. I also tried to do this on my mac and that method didn't work either.

I'm sorry 😐

Not the only complaint I've heard about Windows 10!

Hi Torg,
We tried this and it worked on one of our PC's, but not the other ones.
Thanks

Is there a difference in putting timing on the motor or on the flow x?

Thank You. ;)

Motor timing = Static timing, the same timing throughout the whole RPM range.
Usually used in blinky classes.

ESC timing = RPM relative timing, aka 5 degrees per 1000 RPM.
Usually used in modified/open classes.
The ESC timing is more efficient than Motor timing.

I hope this helps.

I just got a Flow X today and I'm trying to calibrate the radio with no luck. Everything is connected properly. When I push the set button the green light comes on, but only as long as I hold it there. As soon as I release, it goes back to blue. Any help would be appreciated
