Speed Passion GT 2.0 LPF motor limit

[Charger]

Hi everyone, I have a Speed Passion GT 2.0 LPF and was wondering if I could run it with a 5.5t motor in a touring car with timing advance, turbo etc without blowing the speedo up.
I know it says in the manual that it can handle down to a 5.5 with 6 cell/2S but I'm not sure if this is meant for a different car e.g a 2WD buggy or if it's only supposed to be ran with zero timing.

I await correction from better people, but I didn't think the LPF had timing?

Looking at the manual its down to 6.5t on 2s LIPO. Motor limit is a guideline, speedo will take 80a continuously so I would say a 5.5t with advanced timing and boost will probably draw too much current for esc to comfortably handle. If you had the pro model however, id say no problem.

Incidentally, a boosted 5.5 in tc will absolutely fly!!!

Hi there, it defiantly says 5.5 but it's for 6 cell NIMH but I though that would be roughly the same as 2S lipo?

not quite - lipos operate at a slightly higher voltage and are able to deliver higher currents, hence why cars always perform better using lipos.

Hi again, would I be ok to run a 6.5t with boost etc?

I've just looked at the manual again, is it definitely the std LPF and not the pro? as Col said above, I think you can advance the timing on the LPF but only the pro has boost.

If it is the pro you have, boost will not be a problem since they have a 200A limit
