The motor can looks very similar to Novak doesn't it.

How come there's no 5.5T Danny? Seems an odd wind to miss out

Got mine as well.

Is it just a coincidence that the motors look exactly the same as Novak ones, the ESC spec sounds similar [if not, exactly the same] and it's foot print is only 1mm smaller? :confused::eh?:

Looks good though! :thumbsup:

Honestly im not to sure why they left that one out. Just had the 6.5 up an down the road an it seems pretty good to me, very smooth which i like.

guess the proof will be in the pudding at the weekend :)

Ran mine in my TC (4.5) and 2wd (6.5) last week and was well impressed! Bloomers had a go with the TC and he too loved he feel and speed of it. Cant wait for them to become BRCA approved, I think they may well become popular then...............especially at the price they are at.

I got mine today!!
 

Thanks to Dms mine arrived today. My B4 is still in bits and needing a good clean. Now deliberating to wait for a vortex shell or heat up my unpainted shell. Who has done this before, How much can i stretch it- enough to get the speedo under?

Got one to play with as well:p

Am recovering well after having fallen off my chair when I checked out the price.:woot:

No serious damage to me or my wallet - The combo price is amazing at £134.99 RRP. Yeah - that's right a 6.5T motor AND ESC - complete with cooling fan atop the ESC.

Can't wait to get it installed and for it to be homologated.

esc?
 

does the esc that runs the 6400KV motor,still work with the 13.5,10.5 6.5 series motors!


[email protected] any help would be appreciated Thank You!:eh?:

No the esc for the Kv rated sensorless motors is different to the sensored speedo for 3.5 to 13.5 sensored motors

Danny!
How was it?
Losi Xcelorin vs LRP sphere who is the winner?

On overall performance the Sphere (just) but it is nearly twice the price, but on value for money and "very good" performance the Losi all the way

Hi Chaps, I bought one of these combos last week, a 6.5 sensored system and when I tried to use it at the weekend, I could not get it to work. Me and Craig Harris set it up numerous times, sometimes it would take the calibration and sometimes it would'nt. When it did take the setup calibration and we thought it was fine, it would run for a second or two then just stop, if I let go of the throttle stick for a few seconds it would then go again, then stop after another second or so, and thats it! One point is though, that it didnt seem to stop if i was holding the car without the wheels on the floor.

Anyone got any ideas? I dont want to send it back and look like an idiot lol.

Thanks for any help guys.

Sounds like something to do with the sensors?
Have you tried another sensor wire?

G

I had exactly the same problem with my speedo when the capacitor was bust. It would run fine in my hand but as soon as it hit the ground and started pulling more amps the speedo switched off.

Cheers for the quick replys guys,

Northy, Havent got another wire to try, so I havent been able to do that.

Sparrow - Did you have to send yours back, as it seems to be the same problem?

Thanks

You can try soldering on a new capacitor yourself. the layout of the speedo looks similar to Novak so it's all easy to get to. The one included is a 16v 8200mf I think, so anything of around about that size would work fine and you can probably get hold of one in an electronics hardware shop or model shop.

Be carefull to connect it properly though! If you don't think you're up to it somebody at your local track ought to be able to help you out.

If that doesn't work you might have to send it in.

does anyone have an educated guess as to when the motors will become legal (1/10 sensored)?

they're blue and shiny :drool:

Yea i wouldnt mind one eiher after my peak 6.5 gave up the ghost im on the look out for a nwe motor and one of these would be ace but there not legal for regionals :(

A

No is the answer.

Depends if & when the importer has sent them into the BRCA Electric Board for tech inspection. They may not even pass :o

reply to thread on another forum were I asked a similar question,

motor is legal now! had confirmation from PW yesterday, list just hasnt been updated by webmaster yet..

Mines staying in for the weekend now. Glad I did a day testing with it for gearings.

It's not legal for me if it's not on the list on the site! :thumbdown:

I thought they only got updated on a Monday, so won't be on until next week now?:confused:

G

thats up to you m8, but if the homoligation officers tell's me its legal then that will do me!

Its up to the meeting's scrutineerer's to pass a car as legal, and he/she can only use the information he/she has at the time. As the list is only updated on Monday's then the list for this weekend is as it is now, therefore not legal IMHO.

Paul loves people posting stuff like this on public forums :(

It's on the list on the BRCA website

That's fine then, no problems any more.
It's just as a rule it only gets updated on a Monday :)

G

the list WAS updated on monday just not posted on the brca website! from the horse's mouth!

righty then im getting one

A

has anyone tried the motors with a nosram/lrp speedo? Do they work? Cant see why not just want to check.

A

:( they dont do a 7.5 :(

be a man josh.

A

:p i only want it for indoors.

I know someone who found a 4.5 to be the best in a 2wd indoors, it was awesome watching him drive.

ive seen someone run a 3.5 outdoors in a b4 it didnt even get to half speed :p

A

My other mate used to run 3.5 in a B4 indoors, that was funny.

Yes i remember that, then he tried it on a lipo and it was popping wheelies on the slippy with bald tire on.:lol:

Is that with the Losi esc & motor?

Which motor are you using and in which car?

What ratio have you settled on?

I ran mine on sunday and it was very good the power delivery was very smooth 6.5 t was a bit disapointed with the speed but I realised that I had the timing set wrong so once that is changed it will be perfect, more than happy with it and for the price yon cant go wrong. The setup card is a work of genious it is that easy I can use it.:thumbsup:

What did you do to the timing Spencer and was it in your 2 or 4WD?

What overall ratio did you have it on?
Taa

Losi XXXcr, LRP Sphere 2007 spec speedo, Losi 6.5 motor geared on 25/78 7.58 overall ratio.
