The Flow is getting up to 3yrs old now which is a pretty typical product life cycle for most things - especially electronics. I think there is a high chance we might see something new at the worlds.
Now it is still a very capable unit, but what sort of things would people be interested in seeing - either by physical features or tuning?
For me
- smaller footprint. Not much, but smaller always better.
- onboard on switch. And make it programming feature to disable it.
- adjustable braking feel. We have x-brakes and semi x-brakes. What about 0-100% x-brakes in 10% steps.
- programming card. Now I don't mind onboard, it's not hard. But a card would be better of course. Just closer to the hobbywing price, not the Orion price!
- perhaps all blue wires in the box for the pro version - start a new trend and differentiate the two....!
- capacitor with one side flat. Or provide a cradle to click/slide it into that makes mounting easier.
- 6.0, 6.6V or 7.2V selectable BEC
Anyone else got some ideas we can email to LRP before it's too late

So plugged my battery in backwards so no more esc lol I know I'm a special person but stuff happens. A friend of mine is selling a Lrp flow competition esc which is fine bc I race stock. But he used it once but now has nothing to put it in he wants $60 and I was wondering if you guys like it.

Bottom lid made out of alu not plastic. It would help chassis absorb some more heat. (Yes there is a tape layer but still)
Black, not blue. Fits all brand cars.
Optional capacitorbank that can be soldered straight to the esc without extra wires. Much like the advance BD esc.
All wires black. Seems most people swap the rainbow out for an all black look anyway.
Not run receiver and on/off switch wires into the esc boards. But rather have connectors on the casing for everything, so that replacing wires is easier.
Higher grade mosfets for the works version. Yes, would bump the price up considerably, but if aiming at being the best..

- black wires all round
- adjustable BEC would be nice (Dream on)
- detachable receiver wire so that it can be easily shortened
- sensor cable port position is a pain in the ass for me, hopefully it becomes more accessible
- full alu case
- integrated on/off switch
- programming card/usb updater in one unit
- better fan

I'd like to see reverse polarty protection when the battery is plugged in backwards ,that will have a continous beep until corrected, Ive lost many speedos this way, while getting interupted at that stage of car prep for racing .. and a Square cap would be nice ..
#1289
Reverse polarity protection would probably increase the size of the ESC and or reduce its performance. Not to mention increase the cost however it would be a really nice feature.

Hey guys need some help with my LRP flow.
I need to get more power out of my 17.5 setup, currently have motor timing set to about 40 but need more power. Coming off at about 135. What would be some good settings to play with on the ESC to get more power?
