Thanks for the quick reply :D

good or should i stay away?

Seems alright. If its got a turbo function (which it claims it has) this can be switched on with the 10.5t motor to give the car 7.5t motor speed when you want it.
I've not seen a lot of ORCA's but I've not heard much bad about them either.

ORCA STUFF IS WICKED!

I had an Orca 8.5 in my B4/Losi 22 and it never missed a beat, I changed to LRP when i got my Durango just because of space issues. I'm going to get another 2WD soon, I would not hesitate to get ORCA again!

the annsmann radio gear your looking at getting from je are really great value I used one last weekend on my truggy for the price there a nice bit of kit be it a little on the chunky side but I dont normaly drive wheel but they do feel good to use:thumbsup:

For starting out the orca stuff will be ok, but as you progress and become faster it's not idea as doesn't have the same spec as quality speedo or motor

I've just got a tekin rs pro and you can clearly see why it has the £200 pricetag it comes with!

Except that the Nosram Pearl it replaced is a better esc!


In any case, that Orca can perform just as well as any other esc. More expensive ones have more features, most of which you don't need, and can handle lower turn motors, which isn't required either.
The right driver could easily win our 2wd A final with a Q-Spark and suffer no ill effects over running a RS Pro. You just have a thing for shiny bits that don't actually work well......

Play fair Si, the rs pro is a very good speedo. Wouldn't be so popular if it didn't 'work well'

I agree the tekin rs are very good but there wont be much difference compared to the pearl and look at what sham was running on sunday he won the A final with an old novak gtb:lol:its all about the Thumbs

True, but the SXX/Pearl is too. In fact once again an SXX won at the worlds (both classes) and also TQed both classes. Both A's contained 4 SXX's and 1 Pearl each, no Tekins at all. Not all the drivers concerned were sponsored to use them either.
So clearly the RS isn't better than the Pearl, meaning there was no need to get one, and no need to spout about it on here either.

There arnt much cooling aids on those tekins either no fan or heat sink

Thats OK, they aren't really needed by the Durango boys since their wheels have normally fallen off long before they get to overheat.....

also seems there are alot of 2wd drivers using tekins the one thing they have got going for them is there small and you can usb link them but I can do that with my 50quid losi esc and motor combo

you can usb link my sxx to the laptop,but im happy with it as it is.

you can with the V2 but not with lips older pearl

I can already see the rs pro is goin to be a better speedo for my requirements, it has so many more useful features than the pearl did.

Punch, brakes, drag brake.

The only settings anyone other than a worlds A finalist will ever need. Once set up, forever left alone as far as I'm concerned!

Does the shaft spin the same direction as the motor in the dingdango?

Just read the entire thread and had me going for a minute :D appears it's noobs with wires over the pit mode button an it's knocking it into pit mode.

Tbh there are alot of useful functions a club racer would use, tweaking throttle profiles, high rpm adjustable timing for power on straights, so many little bits I've not read them all yet.

Funny enough that very rs pro has just turned up for sale at a huge over price

Yes, because the owner said he prefers his LRP!


Anyway, my GM Genius has all those options, and a lot more besides. Too many actually as the whole thing is pretty incomprehensible! Normally I find that with so many parameters, its actually easier to muck things up than it is to improve - but on the GM, the Tekin and most other PC link esc's there are lots of profiles written by people who know a lot more about this stuff you can simply download. Thats what I'm using in my GM - somebody elses profile that suits my needs. All other changes I can make from the transmitter.

Oh, and don't go messing with the high rpm timing. Its why I use 10.5t's - anything much hotter and it will kill them.

Like many kit choices it's a personal preference with ESCs. I quite like my Castle MMP in my SCTE, it's got bags of punch and brakes with the 4-pole 550 motor. It really highlights how my HPI Flux system (an older castle sidewinder rebranded) doesnt have enough brakes. That may even be more down to the 4-pole characteristics than the ESC.

This all said, while ideal for me, there's not gonna be many people wanting a MMP in a buggy, mainly because it's physically huge.

after using and blowing up various ecs which were
losi xceliron. can be ok but i would say generally STAY AWAY and if ya do get one dont mess with it on pc
novak gtb . simaler but better than losi ....just
fusion exceed . good combo for the price . but generally reliable. ok to start. good motors for sure
lrp sxx/ sxx tc spec . best speedos i ever used good punch good brakes. mint .
novak hv system . truck went well with this. but shorted switch and capacitior after a crash . not fixed yet but will be doing at some point
novak havock pro and ballistic motor. seems ok runs cool and very smooth . only got it last week so still tinkering with set up but seems pretty good .
overall i like lrp the best . but everything apart from the losi has served me pretty well in general
see ya sunday boys
trucks fixed and ready for battle ......... hahahahahahaahahahahahahaha

nice one johhny,i recon the howler needs some good competition in the truck class,hes running away with it!!!
You were good with yours last time you raced it:thumbsup:

so he should with that truck its like me racing a grasshopper against your b44:p

Wont be running at all if my new shock tower doesnt arrive in the morning...:blush: It *should* do though.

Also, weather forecast is a bit crappy for this Sunday, particularly bad for SCT's where the wheels are inside the shell, throwing spray right at the ESC and receiver.

Before last week's race Si posted:

"Truth be told if Tishers running a T4 trucks is pretty much wound up already - it will be tough to beat that. Stadiums are slightly shorter, have fatter wheels and bodies that don't parachute meaning they are a little quicker than SCT's on our track. In effect a T4 is an SC10 optimised for a tight, grippy track! "

:p

:lol:yep just shows what he knows :woot: the thing is a nightmare to jump and steer I should be able to get it a better when i get some tyres that are not for dirt yours was flying mate. It did make a difference when I changed it to the shock setting you suggested:thumbsup:I did not do to bad tho considering its only running a 10.5 and It was the first time I had ever drove a wheel anyway us lot had the best fun and thats what its about :D

Yeah, you were definitely getting faster with it each drive, last heat and the final it was tough catching you.

one of the best bits was when you jumped over the top of me whilst I was in the air that would have looked nuts if it was recorded:D

if it was in the final when it happened theres every chance it may have been recorded

not sure if it was in the heats:confused: was cool tho thats the only problem with the truggy it flips if you try to jumps long so was only quarter throttle to land them

did you record the final would not mind seeing it stick it on youtube:thumbsup:

I did that with dave. He was doing doubles and I did all 4 to make the pass :D

i recon things should be pretty even martin youve got buggy type chassis but 2wd and the howler has a truck but 4wd:thumbsup:

You hadn't brought out your 4x4 truck then, and the SC10 4x4 wasn't running properly the week before either. In fact, last Sunday pretty much bore me out, but with the exception of the 4wd trucks. You two with your 4wd SCT's were way out in front - then Tish and I with the Stadiums, off your pace but will ahead of the 2wd SCT's. In fact its like we had three different classes in one heat!

Tish - I've got a spare set of rear yellow minispikes but I've not certain they'll fit your T4 as my axles are slightly larger than latter models. No where has the rears in stock.
You don't want a mega motor in a truck - I've tried 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 9 and 10.5t now, and prefer the 10.5 in unboosted format. Anything else is just a wheelie fest!

Also folks you might want to let Johnny win. If he can't win with his current setup he is threatening to fit the Castle 1/8th system from his Vorza into his truck and race with 6S lipos!!!!!!

its a bit like the b44 mate it was my first time out with it .will take me a few meetings to get it dialed in but not that bothered to be honest just having a laugh with vaughn I will leave my friday nights to the serious racing

ok uploaded
