BL Spedo Recomendations

[chris_trcc]

after Christmas im wanting to upgrade my brushless speed controller from a Novak GTB. due to size and lack of settings. to go into my 1/10th touring car. so what spedo's are worth looking into and why, cheers

i'm not sure you will find many smaller than the GTB, most brushless units are a similar size.

As for decent current models, the Speed Passion range is pretty good at present and very good value, and a lot of the touring guys seem to favour the GM models too, although they are a bit more fiddly to set up.

Tekin RS pro... Excellent, small, reliable and fully adjustable.

speed passion,

ok, so from the two speedo's thats been mentioned. which one would you say is better. as for the tekin pro i like the idea of the hotwire program that could connect to my laptop. how long this speedo been out ?. what about reliabilty. also the speed passion sounds cool but i know nothing about at the momment. so are these speedo's top spec, and is there a big difference between them against the novak for performance wise? or am i going to be wasting money cheers

speed passion gt2 pro is a great speedo smooth loads of top end,the hand held controller is fantastic and come free with the pro version, not sure on the cheaper lpf
click HERE for more details,also come in blue and black

[jim76]

the tekin is more expensive and you have to buy the hot wire cable separate. Also you need a laptop to alter the settings trackside. As Carl says, the Speed Passion has it's own compact programming unit included that you just plug in and change things.

cheers for pointing me in the right direction. i now decided to buy a speed passion pro gt2.0 (blue) so does it come with the revised capacitor or that seprate. to run in the 10.5 class. which motor be best suited to work with the esc.

Some thing to consider with the lpf comeing from the experiance i've had with it.

1 its shit for 4wd, my speedo failed to complete one race in my pred.

2 it says it can go down to a 5.5, it cant handle a 7.5 so please do more testin schumacher.

3 the fan you get with it does'nt really do the job it should. my speedo was hot, just under 92 on craig H's digital temp.

my seedpassion has now taken a shit and berried it self, best place for it in my opinion.

time to go back to my mambermax.
