Hey guys

I have decided to jump ship from stock to modified this year and have bought a GT2.0 speedo and Speed Passion 6.5v3 motor ,

now as i am a complete beginner at mod class i want a nice friendly set up for my T3 so that i can learn how to handle the power .

I have been racing stock with a Tekin RS and 13.5 speed passion motors for about 2 years so the speed differance shouldnt be too much but any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks Phil

if you are running spec you should use 508 no timing but if you can run open speedo the i suggest you run 110212 it has boost i would go with default settings at first and drop 4 teeth on the pinion and remember flash the software on esc twice

Did anyone else have a little trouble soldering wires to the 2.1 ProStock ESC for the first time?

I was easily able to tin the tabs, but as soon as I tried to solder wire to them, the alloy heatsink/case sucked the heat right back out

I changed to a larger iron tip, and turned the temp up to max (450*C) - Still had a little trouble, but got them on there .

This thread has been alittle quiet the past few days, so I just wanted too share my thoughts about new software. I loaded 101212 stock on my GT pro stock v2.1 esc. Everything works well, almost too much power for 2wd short course on medium traction track. Running 17.5 DOU 3.

I just purchased a gt2.1 pro stock to use with an epic d3 21.5. Is the newest software (101212) best to use? Or should I just use whatever it has on there already. I'm completely new to lipo/brushless (Haven't raced in 4 years) so not really sure what I am doing.

Thanks

check out these setup....since you are running a 6.5 you have to gear up a little. I have a setup with MOD motor and boost, you can adjust your setting to more aggressive them mine (I was running 4.0)...

Or the good old 205MOD software are always a winner...good luck.

What I did was tin both the wires and the tabs a little bit, then put the remaining required amount of solder on the tip. Then hold the wire against the tab and let the solder on your tip touch the wire and should flow onto the tab.
