Thumbs up LRP IS THE BEST!!!

I recently cross wire my Team work flow speedo, which was a 100%
all my fault...sent in to LRP to get repaired and it was still under
warranty. I knew I had to pay something considering it was my
fault...to my surprise they replace with a new team works flow and
NO charge to me.

I am very excited to have my ESC back in one week to know that
LRP has the BEST customer support! that speaks volume to me as
a consumer. BLUE IS JUST BETTER!

But that's a 2S LiPo? The question was for a 1S LiPo...

I know some people running 1S with the Flow, they say that the ESC itself doesn't have a problem with the lower voltage, but your receiver/servo/transponder might. Some of them use that low-voltage Sanwa servo with it...

I have had no issues running a Flow WT in 1s without a booster, even down to an LRP 4.0T w/12 mm rotor. I will say, though, that I encountered some random issues when trying to run it with the 12.5 mm rotor. Weird surges and drops in power late in the run (6+ minutes) when accelerating out of corners. I figured the speedo didn't do well with high amp draw and lower battery voltage, so I went to a Laje booster for my mod car and issues went away. I still run a Flow WT with no booster in 13.5 with no issues, though.

I haven't had issues with any other mod motors - only the LRP 4.0t with the 12.5mm rotor when running without a booster. Anything milder by LRP or any different brand seems to work just fine.

No, that's a 1s lipo
I would prefer to run it with a 2s, but the only place to race it around these parts, has a 1s rule

You can try troubleshoot compatability. Right click on the icon and select Troubleshoot compatability. Try windows 7.
Mine work on this.

hi all,

I need help!

anyone know what 3 flashing less means? red blue yellow?

when i turn on the power blinky - ok
when i turn on the TX the all led flash

I can turn the steering but no motor power

I have just re wired both esc on two cars that have identical set ups, one works fine but now I have this issue with one. Ive checked to make sure the A,B,C wires are attached in the correct order and have also replaced the sensor wire but can't seem to resolve the issue...

any ideas??

thanks very much, have a race in 20 hours from now!

Thanks!!!!

ok so I've solved my own problem but just for reference with the power off on the car and esc I manually spun the motor rotor with my hand about 10 rotations, turned everything back on.....the car turned on doing about 10k RPM scaring the heck out of me but after recalibration its back to normal...

I think this was caused by me spinning the rotor to prior to the work beginning with the power off as I adjusted the pinion mesh before i started.

Anyway in short give the rotor a whirl the power off if all lights are flashing.

cheers

I would also check the sensor board in the motor for any debris or oil deposits on the sensor as this will throw a code.

All lights flashing indicated a problem with the sensor cable.

I had this at an event after jumping the curb where I nicked the sensor wire.

Thanks + JDJamminX1

I wish that they would include this error in the trouble shooting guide, would have saved me 30 mins of grief!
