New to GT12 help required plz!

[Ninjagordy]

hi guys,

totally new to this so bear with me!

right, the Turnigy Trackstar 80a esc i run in my TC apparently will work with a voltage booster for the rx on 1s.

the thing i'm struggling to work out is where and how do i connect the voltage booster?? does it go inline with the cable from the esc to the receiver??

any links to videos etc on this would be great. ill get a 1s esc but i'm trying to keep cost to a minimum as this is new for all at the club. im hoping it will take off! ;-)

cheers

Gordy!

I used the hobbyking one as was about 3 pound and worked and still works fine even using spektrum and savox full size servo and just soldered two wires straight onto battery wires then plug into speedo, only issue is it bypasses the on off switch so powers up as soon as plug battery in

I too am new to GT12 and have a 2s speedo the Hobby King 120A brushless - I am hoping it will work with a voltage booster? need to check once my 1s lipos arrive... but out of curiosity... what 1s speedos are people running in their GT12's?

Thanks

I running the hobbyking 120a speedo with booster it seems to be working ok not tried it yet on track but as above it does do away with the on off switch, and u need a 2s lipo to use the programming card and turn the cut off off, just make sure u have the switch turned on or it doesn't work properly
Hope that helped

Thanks! That does help... thinking i might try it with the booster that is on the hobbyking website... it's only £3 so got to be worth a shot!

Still curious about which 1s speedos people are running though

its only 5 volts and around 1 amp though so do not expect too much
