I think stormer hobbies has the exotek stuff too. Or you could find a computer.

I just had a quick question about using the lrp sxx competition spec v1 for stock racing. I was told that there is no blinky mode. If you set the esc to no boost is it the same as blinky? I wanted to run this esc since it fits better in my b5 than my gtb2. Does anyone know if the v1 is legal for stock racing?

If the killshot is faster is just in your application. You have a better timing/gearing combo... Its a proven fact that the illegal D3.5 is the fastest 17.5 motor out there. In carpet pan car racing where motor is HUGE the kill shot is easily 3 laps down.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the high discharge high charge factor. Putting heat into the battery is also a big difference in power for stock racing.

For R1Wurks,

BTW, talking about 17.5 stock class I just got done assembling the MIP puck package for the SC10 and I'm very impressed with the quality and noticeable reduction in rotating mass. I used some of MIP and B-Fast diff components to get it together but this drive train is supper light and smooth.

It saves an additional two grams and reduces friction in the transmission by 50%. That is what im told anyways. Ive heard people using both the eliminator and the cuts gears and not having any problems. However if you newer to offroad and dont know much about slippers/diffs ill stick with the avid until I get it figured out.

You would be more likely to blow diff gears or idler gears if you cut them down. If you combine cut gears and a slipper eliminator you will likely see premature failure of some of the internal parts.

I would just like to mention that while it does reduce rotational mass and decrease friction, it does INCREASE the load on a smaller area. Since the force is the same (same motor) but the surface area of the gears is smaller, you are putting the load on a more concentrated area.

Figured so , wouldnt mind a pic if anyone has to see how much is taken off , not that I will bother . Have some state title events in the coming months and will look at pucks ,alu cvds topshaft shorten wiring and see if I can tell the difference with my 22 2.0 . At club level it does fine and I have never really experienced these stock rockets some speak of . I am running an old trinity d3 hobbywing speedy and nanotech shorties and seems on par with anything else out there

Keep in mind I use the AVID triad slipper so it is still lighter than stock, using pucks and ceramic bearings also; so maybe it helps a little but was not noticeable since I have already significantly lightened everything.
