Was wondering if anybody has been using the lrp sxx v2? ifso how does it compete with the tekins? does the steering get enough without a booster or lipo or life batteries?

If you are using a 3.7V LiPo, you need a receiver pack or booster to supply 6V to the receiver, servo and transponder (if you are using one).

hmm lrp claims no booster or lipo needed?

It is fairly new but I wounder how long it will take for others to do the same?

The Havoc 1s has been doing it for about a year now. Which REALLY disappointed me when the Kinetic didn't have the same feature. No excuse for that really. Unlike the Tekin, etc, it didn't come out until 1s racing for pan cars was the norm, and it ain't like the Kinetic is small or anything...

Has anyone tried the LRP SPX TC? Does it need the bosster/ rec.pack for the power?

LRP SXXv2 supports 1s operation WITHOUT booster or receiver pack. 3 of my friends are using it already. The esc is very competitive.

Have a regular SPX, not a TC, but as far as I know,they are identical internally. Mine needs a RX pack for 1S.

LRP states: "Twin BEC: Constant 6V/3A output with 3.0V to 7.4V batteries. No receiver battery with 1S LiPo needed. "

I am currently using and dont need a receiver pack

Thats nice to know. is it keeping up with the Tekin?

Would you dump your Tekin for an LRP that doesn't require a $25 (or cheaper) receiver pack, or would you just get a pack and save the $$$?

Its funny that alot of.you guys keep saying that. Here in Oz almost every 12th is running something else to avoid the problems they were having with the Tekin. Currently BD's and SXX rule and the new hobbywing is growing in popularity as well. Its not that any of them are proven to be faster its more that the difference is not worth talking about but the Tekin has the most problems. If you want to go by performance then here in Oz the BD has destroyed everything and tekin is lucky to make an A final.

I think that is more driver quality as oppossed to the BD smashing the opposition.

Most LRP drivers in OZ have spent a fortune getting to the point of being fast without a receiver pack.

And what was bradd using the other week (i thought i heard it was a hobbywing) when he set the lap record. Thats the first meet i seem to recall him running 12th scale at since Nationals 2008.

I think Bradd was running the Hobbywing And he also did Nationals last year in 1/12.

Ahh i remember he was testing a car (T-Bar with a LiPo pack mounted up the side of it) at last years nationals but i thought he didnt end up running the meet.
