I've known of three recently purchased toros that have gone up in smoke on first use, purchased from different sources. One from Schumacher via a major UK model shop, and others from banggood. All of mine (5) have been great.

Move your punch rate switch to 1%, which helps move the step point I was feeling away from throttle mid point. Punch stages are effectively a current limiter. I run both set to medium (or 15) depending on software version. I found having too much current limit (punch very weak) produced a harder to drive and steppy feel to the throttle combined with the 50% switch point. Throttle deadband, I reduced this to 50us with my sanwa after experimenting. This means there is less stick movement before the wheels start to turn. Recalibrate after altering this. It's a big help with the feel. I have a throttle expo curve on a switch on my sanwa so can switch in if I feel I want to smooth out the bottom end for slipper tracks Turbo on a 6.5 is a bit much for me, but check your delay time at full throttle that it kicks in. Too soon and it can kick in at the wrong point and upset the car. I don't run boost, seems a bit manic when I've tried it. Hope that helps you or someone else.

Has anyone got this in a tc running blinky?

I used my TS 120A in my Mi5evo last year in blinky, was very good, very punchy. This was with a SkyRC Ares Pro 17.5T motor on about 3.2 FDR with 30 degrees motor timing. Not quite as fast top end as another guy at the club who was running Muchmore ESC & motor, but better through the corners.

Ever had many problems with it getting too hot. Will be on both 17.5 and 13.5 blinky then modified when I have improved
And do you have the sky link. |

Yes, I have both the program box and the Bluetooth module, both work fine, but prog box is necessary if you want to update firmware.

Anyone had an issue with the Toro where it will not switch off when you hold the transmitter in the reverse position for several seconds??
I have one that does, one that doesn't and one that didn't and then exploded in smoke! I'm a bit concerned about the one that isn't functioning correctly as it is a replacement for the one that blew up. The other one I've had for over a year and has been absolutely fine. |

Yeah. it's got newer software on it, and they removed this feature a few updates ago. There was a bad batch run, but they seem to have gone now from UK distribution (Schumacher) and banggood, so replament should be OK ifnit hasn't gone pop first meeting.

I thought it may have been a sensor fault in that the esc didn't know the motor wasn't operating. So therefore didn't think it was ok to switch off. Maybe they'll bring the function back in future upgrades. The replacement is within a hundred serial numbers of the one that went pop so fingers crossed on that one. It's a banggood one. Any idea on the serial numbers of ones that went pop? |

no idea on serials sorry. skyrc don't list older versions to download, only the latest. They don't do a change log/release notes either, I read changes in the versions from the Gforce change log, which is the same speedo.

I love this Esc. Thanks for the tips. However my fan sounds like a jet. Is there an alternative or do i really need it with 8.5 in 2wd? Ta Brett

Run yours without fan and check temps, both via touch and using the program box to read esc temp after the run. The fans have bronze bushings, not bearings, hence the noise. Easy to replace with a higher quality fan. some of the branded fans are the same though, with a different sticker. I've found the orca, WTF and yokomo racing performer fans are best quality, which is reflected in the price.

Anyone else had a random failure of these?
I Have 3 of these, 2 have been faultless for a year or so. But I had one fail at York on Saturday. It had been fine the previous meeting when it was new, but let the smoke out this week and killed a phase. I am currently trying to repair it, but i'm gonna change all the FETs not just the failed phase. I have several other speedos to scavenge bits from. Matt

Well now. I would be able to send it back if I hadn't taken it apart to paint it when I got it. Also I've then it apart again to fault find. So it looks like I'll take one for the team and do a full autopsy.
Micro board is still fine, still connects to pc via program card. This board houses the FET drive ICs and the BEC regulators, all still working fine. Top board is the FET board which has 24 mosfets these are alpha omega AON6512 in a DQFN 5x6 package. This where I suspect the quality problem may be. I'm not a fan of alpha omega semiconductors. In a high current application such as this personally I would have specced an international rectifier part instead. But hey ho... The issue is as there are 4 fets in parallel for switching phase you only need one to fail for the whole stack to go. So lesson. Don't paint your speed controller Matt

do International make a pin compatible part? Yeah painting it may not have been the best move. what colour?

I do have a working FET board of an LRP SXX this has IRF5300 FETS with the same package, my plan was to transplant all 24 of them, but that's a no go having seen the destruction. I may be look at transplanting the whole board to make a hybrid just as a project, close to the same size just need to sort out the pinout of each to see if i can 'make it fit'. I painted it metallic black, looked good till it died. Matt

If anyone has a knackered Toro 120a please PM me!
I completely busted the casing on mine after a heavy crash, so if you've blown yours and want to sell it on so I can reshell mine let me know please! Thanks all!
