sorry its a gt2.o pro
(1) Try reload the program thru your computer
(2) When it is loaded, turn off your ESC (power off, unplug batteries, turn off the swtich
(3) Turn on your radio, make sure all the radio setting are in default position
(4) Hold the red button on the ESC switch then turn on the switch
(5) Recalibrate with the radio
(6) TURN OFF YOUR RADIO AND ESC, BOTH...
(7) Turn everything back on.......the bottom of the ESC should have the red LED blinking....

they are very good and I enjoy that online chat feature.

the only thing I would like to see them improve is there warranty length to an industry leading time, or at least match the industry leaders at 1 year in length. That was the main argument someone gave me as to WHY they won't buy a Speed passion setup. Current warranty I think is the shortest of all the big players.

Ironically other than the Silver Arrow I melting down and taking a lot of my stuff with it that Shawn Palmer made me whole again from, I have had zero issues with my Speed Passion stuff.

As a suggestion for the 1/8 crowd, if a Silver Arrow III is in the works, would love to see it in a smaller footprint setup ala MMP. That is the main reason I don't have the SAV2 in my vehicle right now.

So do all the speed passion motors come with a 10 degree max timing sensor board and you have to buy the 20 degree one? or 30 degree one?

I am considering purchasing 2 MMM in an 8.5 or 9.5 configuration. Is there any benefit when you run mod for timing on the motor itself when you can set values on the ESC (two SP GT2.0s, Pro and LPF).

still trying to decide between the $60 V3.0 and the $77 MMM . Is there that much of a benefit between the two for mod?

Old Stock boards (black) are 0-10*

Red boards are +10 or 11-20*
Green boards are +20 or 21-30*

MMMs come with a red board.

New +30 (and possibly +40) boards are in the works but waiting for ROAR approval. They will be different colors yet. Nice color system for easy identification.

Depends on the size of the track. and Remember...Timing = Heat!
In any wind the MMM is superior!! Buy it and you will see for yourself.

Like most people here we have used both the motors I have used the V3 V3 1cell also and the MMM and I would have to say that the MMM once set up to the local track is far superior than the V3 it has a heap more get up and go and punch out of corners I would recommend it

We are doing our best to take care of our customer in USA. As an American, of course I will do my very best to provide my best effort for all of our Speed Passion customer, thru out our website, dealer and on Rctech.

However, it is almost impossible to provide a 1 year warranty of racing products. I actually don't see any industry standard on racing RC products that provide more then 120 days warranty. (Yes, I have checked all the big boys brand...) If you registered your SP ESC thru our website, you will get the bonus 30 days warranty that is = 120 days for our entire line of ESC.

Motor is the different thing...it is just way too easy to fried a motor. However, we do listen to our customer and we do provide the necessary service and warranty with special case. Which I did alot..........I know 1 thing, SH_T does happen....especially when you are racing it.

From the factory team driver setup....they used 323stock (boost software) with MMM 4.5 and gear at 7.8.............that is at TITC, I think that is a big enough track, should be similar to yours.

Just like what Burgboyz said, MMM came with +10 (that means it adjust from 11-20*) board...not +20*. +20* board is 21-30* and is green in color.

If you are running BOOST software, I don't think you will ever need the green board. Anything beyond 20* timing on motor is for BLINKY no timing software racing.

Yes, it will be +30 (yellow color) and +40 (blue color) board coming. Adjust from 31-40 and 41-50* timing....on top of the original built in timing of the motor.
