I was running this esc in a touring car. I have a Spektrum 2.4ghz radio system and the LRP does not work with these radios. I replaced it with a Novak GTB esc and that setup is fine. I will probably put the LRP in my old Stampede which runs a 72mhz radio

The brake and throttle issues I worked out by setting the trim on the TX low end to 1/3. I never raced the LRP because I did not discover the incompatibility until I put a brushless motor in the car. The LRP would run the throttle fine, but when steering input was applied, the throttle cut out. I do not have any experience with this esc (LRP) using a 72mhg radio, so I am guessing that it will work ok with the 72mhg radio.

What application are you using it for?
