So far the new 1S compatible speed controls have just trickled out on the market. I know the Tekin RS can do it and so can the newly released SXX V2, but what about Novak and any others? I know Novak had the Havoc 1S but that is dated in technology compared to the Tekin and SXX.
Also while I'm on the subject of 1S vs. 4 cell. What about T-bar vs. Link. Is the link style rear end a better handler than the good old T-bar?
1S is the current ROAR spec, with that said, a link car is pretty much the best option for battery placement.
There are many speedos that work with 1S, perhaps a year ago they were "trickling" in, but the floodgates have opened on the 1S / Link racing now.
At our local races there are still a few round cell racers, some use them for a voltage advantage in the Cirtix Spec class, while others have t-bar cars, and older equipment that work best with that type of cell.
search these speedos for more info
The LRP SXXv2 is more for mod type racing.
SXXSS is a pure bred spec boost speedo.
