Unless Im mistaken we looked at those the oyther day- nice cheap boat or plane esc, but it has no reverse and only on/off brakes. Good for a nitro conversion with mech brakes.

http://www.himodel.com/electric/HiMo...d_Control.html this one how ever does atleast have adjustable brake settings, but still no reverse.

It's funny how Shawn started making up specs when he was under the gun. Those guys have no clue what timing means and I've seen them saying if you advance the time in a brushless, the motor will be faster. I wish my motors would go faster if I change the timing. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

While I cant comment on your speedo.... The GT is a nice speedo, and its the smoothest of novak, LRP..... IDK what advancing the timing on the speedo does, but it does give the motor more rpm (its noticeable down the back straight..)

Its a nice speedo..... But I dont own one..... And I dont plan to, but I might get one...

All other companies timing works with different motor. A motor with 12 poles does require a higher timing, while 2-4 poles will do ok with 0-5 or so degrees. I will try to advance the timing on the ESC I have to see if I notice any change in speed. Maybe it's different in these controllers. BTW the GT was made for Speed Passion and the one I have is from the company that made them. The difference is that the one I have handles 4S lipos and has a 120A cont. and 720A burst. You can get the GT cheaper at www.rcmart.com if you do plan on getting it.

I know if you run a novak esc, with a orion motor, and then swap to a LRP with the same batt, gearing ETC the LRP is faster, the LRP has more timing then all the other speedos, and then the GT has programable timing, so you can use a ton of timing if you want to.

I know yours has higher specs, but in my touring car, what I want (and everyone else on RCT) is a super smooth speedo, having a speedo that can handle 2 times the voltage and all that is useless.... You can run more then 2s lipo if your really racing, so its kind of useless you know? Im not saying either one is better, its just the GT is proven to work extremely well, and thats what they want

And I can get the speedo even cheaper then that =) Good old racers discount

Here are some videos:

This is by far one of the best esc I've had. It is extremely smooth with a sensorless Trinity N80 and the speedo doesn't heat up at all. I've ran it a couple times before I made those videos and got over 20 minutes from my 5000mAh 2S packs and the esc was still cold and the motor was just warm. I have changed the pinion to a 30T and the spur is 69T just to see if this controller can heat up a bit.

I have seen it.... But thats not racing, and its not with novak, orion, and LRP motors...

Sounds like you need to send them to people to test out at the track if you really want to prove its a better controller then the others and get the name out

I know it's not racing. I did some club racing down in Florida, but I can't give professional advice. I can only give information from what I've tried brushless wise, if people like the GT which is basically little lower spec controller than what the original manufacturer controller is, then they will love this one. You are missing the point here. The controller I have is from the company that made the GT for Speed Passion. Speed Passion is not the manufacturer.

I know its the same thing, but everyone else doesnt.......

People here will buy them, but to get people in the racing side you will have to have people using them.... People buy what wins, and nothing else (There weird)..... I dont because I am into rc on the BL side, and then electric racing.....

Point well made. Well, I'm in no position to have any driver sponsored and I only have this one unit to test. Maybe a well known company will bring some of them in and have racers run with them.

Id run one if you had more..... Get some more made

All I'm getting at the moment are delays from the manufacturer. I know they are on vacation "Chinese New Year", but before I've asked for pricing about 1000 times. This delay can cause myself to have delays and that is not good. I did ask them for a spare power board (to try a MOD simular to the one Griffin made to the MM) and the 14.8v fan. I'll see if they can answer me. If not, I won't bring them.

Ahhh

Well def keep us updated what happens

[lutach]

Still off topic, but this should open the eyes of Schumacher a bit on their over pricing the Speed Passion GT:

I hope Adam from Schumacher doesn't say that the Venom is a Feigao like he did with the GT in this thread (Post #19): http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=244134.

Man I need a real ESC......any thing new on the release?

[lutach]

I feel you man. I was hoping Castle would shine the light on a Real HV system for car. It will happen one day. I hope mine comes out before though . I ran my HW with 4S lipos today in my TC3 Truggy with the HV4.5 motor and the run ended early due to the spur gear. It got loose at the end of the 5 minutes or so run. I've attached the data of the run. I will make a video to quite some folks in rctech and one guy who said the HW controller is not as smooth as the Speed Passion GT.
