any update on a new speedy?

Thank you very much will be making an order.



I do have another question though. Like I mentioned before I recently purchased a brand new LRP 'FLow' Competition one. Blacked out the wires (changed/soldered off the Rx wires and the motor and battery wires to black ones) So I hooked up the all my electronics to my Futaba Rx, turns things on... The Blue light on the ESC turns on, my Rx turns on and my servo works fine. But I have no throttle or esc response. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you:)

Did you do a factory reset?

Have you calibrated the ESC to your radio?

First do a factory reset and after that calibrate.

When I press and hold the set button, nothing happens. But if I press and hold the mode button, I do get the different mode lights.

Start with a reset.

First turn off the esc.

Now, press and hold SET button, switch on esc while still pressing SET button. Release after 1 or 2 seconds after you had switched the esc on. Now you did a factory reset, it is needed before you can calibrate the esc (in your situation it is needed because you are not able to calibrate).

Switch esc off.

Do this procedure (resetting) 5 times, just to be sure.


After this, try to calibrate the esc again (by pressing and holding down set button for a few seconds)

Less power with the reventon pro

I know I'm beating a dead horse with this comment, but here it goes.

1s capability - Does the firmware affect whether or not it can operate under 1s power? i.e old firmware vs new?

I noticed Donny Lia's 1/12th at the 2014 IFMAR worlds was equipped with an LRP Flow standard cap and no booster.

I currently run almost an identical setup to his. Just wondering if it's feasible to remove the booster and save some room?

the answer is .. it depends.
servo choice mades the biggest difference. some servos appear to run slower. i've decided to run a booster.

I and others I know run the Sanwa Srg-hs with the flow works with no booster. Seems to be great and work flawlessly with 13.5 and 10.5. However the volt drop in mod might cause a problem. Firmware I run is 5.4.

I'm having the same issue as above.
When i turn on the esc i get a solid blue light. No amount of resets seems to rectify the issue. I've even tried re flashing the software

Hmm, now I have read it again, and I oversaw the fact Michael@USPN soldered off his rx wires. I assume you did this as well?

The problem is, the rx solder tabs on the pcb of your FLow are very close to each other. Even a single flaw can disturb the solder joint. What I do in this case is get a magnifying glass, some bright light, and inspect the solder joint area. Get a clean toothbrush and dip it in 100%-ish alcohol and start scrubbing/cleaning the area. After cleaning, inspect the area again and be sure any solder or flux residu is gone. Even the flux residu can cause problems I found out.

Try this first and see what happens.

Plan B: unsolder en re-solder. Take your time and use the proper tools and materials.

Worst case: Solder job too hot and damaged the pcb.

anyone using the lrp sxx v2 in the 12th scale for mod. I have a lrp 5.5 in my car and my speedo get so hot I even poped one.
