New ESC choice

Hello All

Im in the markey for a new speedo after I cooked my lrp. Ive got a budjet of about £150.

Ill be mainly running off road 2wd on 2c lipo.

Im looking for something reliable, not too complicated but with good power for competative racing.

Ive got my eye on the speed passion lpf and mamba max pro, although its features may be abit over the top for what I need!

Losi systems seem well priced by they havent got a good reputation?


Any ideas or advice is welcome from a fairly newbie!

Cheers

Go for the LPF. The software on it isn't that involved at all and the setup card makes things very straightforward. It's nice and smooth and the settings are held in a sensible range too.

+1... The Tekin RS is a great speedo and ideal for your 2wd :thumbsup:

i was told that the retial price will come down to £180 as well

[liam]

Is their much differance between the RS and the RS pro then?

[mattybucks]

i'd steer clear of anything with the word "tekin" on, unless you want meltdown?

I had a Losi for a while. It seemed good to me, but It broke suddenly for no obvious reason. After sales service was fantastic though, they sent me a brand new one within a couple of days, even though I had no receipt.

Tekin are good the diffrence is the amount of fet's in the speedo the pro has double the amount hence unlimited motor the std as a limit of 5 turn

i was looking at getting one of these but will it run all brushless motors e.g novak etc?

[bigred5765]

for sure, Ive seen people running all the major and some of the more obscure ones all with good results

I'm running novak ballistics on my GT2.0

[liam]

So tekin's blow up, so do losi's which isint great if this happens during a race so speed passion perhaps..."gt 2 pro ,end of best there is"...whys this end of best their is?

What lrp/novaks are around for the £150 mark?

I did recently buy a pearl evo off ebay, as soon as i opened the box i could smell the burnt electrics..NICE!

[bigred5765]

take a look at the sp web site look at there current drivers, then take a look at new price of the competition,

[liam]

Good point!

Is it worth paying the extra for the pro then you think?

cheers

Have a look at the 120A Xerun speedos on e b a y. They make the speedpassions, use the same programing cards and are only aorund £75-80 delivered.

You have to wait a week for them to arrive from Hong Kong. I don't know what you'd do if it went wrong (mind you speedpassion only state a 3 month warranty on the box-is that legal??), but at half the price of a SP GT pro I've gone for one and it works just like my Speed Passion one does.

Well im just about to order a silver 2.0 speedpassion off ebay for £110 delivered. Cant wait to get racing again, been 6 weeks since I had a blast!

MK-Racing do the GT for £107 - http://www.m-k-racing.com/product_info.php?cPath=304_307&products_id=7486&%3CosCsid%3E

I have 2 SP Gt LPF speedos and they've been really good. I had a bit of trouble when I 1st got it and Schumacher replaced it no problems. Only a sensor lead in the 2wd has let me down.

[gnr racer]

Is it just the functions that are different betwwen the LPF & the pro or is the pro punchier?

[liam]

Yeah i got it via MK in the end.£107 next day delivery...bargain!

Just hope i dont plug it into the lipo the wrong way like i did with the LRP!

DOH!
