Losi sensored ESC system
http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSB9555
The new Losi sensored system has officially been announced. I've been running one for over a month now and am really happy with it's performance. Everything is adjustable by either a setting card or via USB connector/PC interface.

'sup Matt, this thing looks very much like a Novak. Do you have any idea if they make it for Losi? PC connectivity sure is a plus.

as far as I know Novak does not make it for Losi, it does have the same "footprint" as the GTB though. The really nice thing is it's full adjustability via the PC connection, motor timing, drag brake, brake force, initial acceleration, throttle curves, 2.4ghz or legacy, etc. I was told there will be an aluminum plate to replace the heatsink released later for use in 4 cell applications. So there won't be a "4 cell version" and a "spektrum" version, this one can do it all.

Please say it doesn't use .net for the PC interface communication. Please?

looks like a blue gtb. I'm all for it, if the pc interface and software is actually useful. I hope this isnt a buy the speed controller now, and we'll release the software to program it via your PC in around 7-8 months type of deal.
If pc programing is a selling point - show me some screenshots of the UI along with the photographs of the actual hardware.

Very nicely done by Losi. I just ordered one, but won't be here until mid-April according to Horizon.

Just wanted to give you guys a little update...
Larry and I ran the sensored ESC and 13.5 motor this past weekend at the Coliseum race in Maryland. I was able to TQ 13.5 and Larry was also fast qualifying 4th with a couple bobbles during the heats. In the main, we both made dumb mistakes that took us out of contention for a win.
The software for the speed control works flawlessly and we made changes all day to timing and braking. Everything was quick and easy and most of all... you could FEEL the changes you made. Even the small ones.
Larry and I still have more things to figure out with Brushless since it was our first time using the new stuff. It will only get better.

Interested in the programming card, what adjustments are available, how does it work, can we see some closeups?
I'm really enjoying the reduction in stuff required with lipo and brushless, and concerned about taking a nice laptop to a dusty offroad environment. On the other hand, I hate the blinkity lights method. The card seems to be akin to the Speed Passion GT solution of a small programming box. That works great, easy to use and store.
