Seemed like the older esc's (sphere,gtb,etc) were more reliable that the newer stuff. No issues with these, heck I'm still running an old gtb and sphere in a couple cars and keep going strong.
Not good . That is three of us , just on this thread , in the last couple pages . Just think of how many others have had their $230 speedo just stop working for no reason . What a shame . Such a smooth speedo . I will get it fixed and throw it back in . If it happens again , I will try and sell it . If it happens again I will be proabably be done with LRP .

I really like my Novak GTB2 . Just not quite as smooth as the LRP . And it does not have any timing advance . I am proabably going to buy a Novak Havoc Pro SC . They sell refurbished stuff on their website for great prices .

I put an old Novak Havoc Pro ( No timing ) and a Novak Ballistic 8.5 turn in my buggy today . It hauls freaking ass !! Was running it in front off the house today with slicks . Pretty fun . Not sure how controlable it will be on the track though . Should be fun though on the big triple and doing wheelies down the straight .
