LRP sxx- which version is best?
 

Hey guys,

Im looking to buy a used lrp sxx and am curious which is the best version. I think at this point I prefer the TC spec, but v1 seems to have a much higher amp rating than the v2. Also I read something about a BEC problem on the original v2 units. Then it comes to the board upgrade, aside from marketing language is it really better? So if I get one without a board upgrade, is v1 or v2 is best? If a unit has a board upgrade, does the version mater?

I guess my main concern is that the sxx tc spec v1 seems to have a much higher amp rating so wouldnt that make it better, board upgrade or not? My use will be 2wd buggy 8.5T.

sourced from manuals:
Rated current
V1--764A phase
v2--400A phase
upgrade board:??


Thanks

Why not just go with an LRP Flow?

I'm going used to save money, $100 on a sxx tc v2 vs $200 flow works :D I'm also replacing my old lrp sphere tc spec that went out on me, using my even older backup sphere comp now so the leap forward to the sxx tc will keep me happy

First off, all models you have described are good. V2 with the upgraded board is better for mod from what a few at my local track have experienced on their Superstocks. Whatever esc you choose from the models you have described have more than enough capabilities to handle a 8.5 . I personally would try to find the V2 upgraded but if you can get a V1 for a better deal, go that way.

Thanks, yeah I started to think that since the touring car puts a greater load than a 2wd buggy would. Ended up getting a used v2 tc spec with board upgrade for $105 shipped. At least its claimed to have the board upgrade. LRP told me how to check to see if it did, guess there are 3 black microchips on the board that are not on the normal one.

Cant wait, going from my sphere tc spec back to the regular sphere I noticed a very noticable drop in overall power/punch
