What's wrong with LRP'S SPX Stock Spec

[Bimdapogs]

I notice a lot of used SPX ESCs showing up on RC forums being sold for a lot less money that what they retailed for. And I have a pretty good idea of how much used stuff go for, but 30-40% of retail?

So, I'll ask, what's wrong with this ESC? I'm about to buy a couple of them and I'd like to know if there are issues with this model.

Any help is appreciated.

I prefer for the money the castle mamba max range, tho lrp spx is great too, thing is most people would put motor and esc through its paces (thrash it) you cant trust a used esc and motor up for sale to last long,
I always buy new, I get warranty then.

1. New variant of the LRP/Nosram Stock Spec ESC is out which has usb connection for programming.

2. No known issue's that I've heard about.

had mine around six months now, it runs a 5.5 ballistic with no problems, can't fault them.

IMO nothing secondhand is worth more than 50% of new.

your not really running a 5.5 on a stock spec speedo are you

I've got SPX Stock Spec forsale the only reason I'm selling mine is i no longer need it as i dont run touring anymore.

But there def nothing wrong with the speedos though & there ideal for someone who wants one for 2wd buggy i reckon

If I remember rightly there are Stock and Mod profiles on the stockspeck ESC's.

I could be wrong tho...

carl, its a two in one speedo mate. two settings one for stock the other for mod it goes down to a 3.5t if you need to but a fan is a must under 6.5 in a 4wd.

Agree with this, the SPX has now been superceeded twice by newer speedos. The SXX Stock Spec with V1 firmware and now we are up to V3 for that speedo. I run a v3 myself.

The SXX TC Spec is now on its second generation so i suspect that the SXX stockspec will likely follow suit but i dont know for sure. Wont make any differene to you unless you are able to make use of every bit of power. Biggest gains come from driving ability.
