Hi all..
I have got the RS-Pro $199 , SPX Stock spec.$210. LRP SXX TC spec $189 aus (not used yet) Thats what I paid for them..
Ran both in 10.5 and 17.5....
In my opinion...The LRP wins hands down as it has Brakes/push a button and the settings change...No exsposed pos and neg bars..I shorted the first one i had..it lasted 25 mins.. (Tekin has awsome backup service, told my story and they replaced it at cost..I would of had the first RS in Aus at the time) Has no reverse polarity protection...Im not sure if the LRP does. Novak does. Dont really want to find out either
...I tried everything to get brakes with the Rs and I gave up....some say they have plenty..but the lrp still out brakes ANY RS speedy...The LRP has loads of brakes..
The RS has ok slow speed brakes..but the faster you go,,the less you have...The Fast stock guy admited he had no brakes...and I dont reall want to carry around a computer...more stuff to pack..and who wants to be a rocket scientest to play with our cars..isnt there enough going on with that???
My son runs 17.5..SPX Stock ..profile 7..An Orion series 2..(got rid of the Redline,,crappy motors), he wasnt slow either..Wait till a Duo 2 goes in..
But it is a bit silly..stock aint stock..but dont we have novice for that reason?
One thing that Ide like to know...The tracks in the USA all seem to be short, indoor carpet tracks...Ask a question,,(tyring to get brakes from the RS) and explain the track size,,and they, well, how should i say this...Go and buy a another gallon coke to calm down...
And they always say the have plenty of brakes
I use an RS in my 1/12.who needs brakes in a 1/12 any way. Tried the vegas software @67mmm roll out 1cell lipo..its quick....motors cool.
heres a link to a in car 1/12 cam..u can here the speedy wind up..If you look at the other link..listen how the 10.5 LRP goes into "turbo"..i think ill take a gear off ang get it earlier..so much easyier than carrying around a computer..

..Going to put in the new LRP SXX TC spec and see...
The guy that dominates 17.5 here, runs and "old" SPX with an old duo...It died on the weekend..finally
the motor that is..Thats to you Ben....
But guys...seriously...With the dollar high...a new speedy costs around $200-250 Aus....I remmember when a speedy was $400 plus.....And racing, exspecially if you want to be at the pointy end..is not cheap anyway...
How much do we spend.."chasing" motors/ batteries/tyres?
The way I see people throw tyres on their cars..well a new upgraded esc aint that bad,,
My 2 cents worth anyway..
