A new power plant - Yokomo X series Racing Performer combo!!

Hey! I have gone a little bit crazy lately with the upgrades, but I figured out I would complete my weaponry by getting some proper ESC and motor.

I was hesitating for a while, deciding between Sanwa Vortex, Yokomo BL-PRO4 and Yokomo RPX, one of which I wanted to couple with Yokomo D1 motor, but then I stumbled into a good deal of this combo, to which I just could not say no.

Information about ECSs turned out to be quite hard to find, not even mentioning some direct performance comparison. Because of this, I had a slightly hard time figuring out, what are the actual differences between the particular ESCs and which one should I get.

Lets sum what information I have found about those ESCs:

• Sanwa SV-Plus Type D - built-in receiver, rev limiter, SSL function (programming from a transmitter)
• Yokomo BL-PRO4 - wifi module compatibility (programming from a smart phone)
• Yokomo RPX - programmed only from program box, older model from 2014 or so

That is pretty much it.

So am I happy with the RPX?

Oh hell yes I am! I mean.. I still do not have a direct comparison to the other two ESCs, but I don't care anymore.

The functions are just enough for me not to know what to do with them and nothing is missing (maybe the rev limiter just to be cool).

I was amazed by the sheer power of this combo. And by power, I mean POWER! It makes me a bit worried about breaking into some parallel dimension or blowing other cars by the ultra-sonic blast waves it's making.

Playing around with the settings,  90k RPM in a small room without a body shell sounds like a scream of a tortured soul, straight from the hell!! Just hope it does not damage the transmission though.

Running a settings like this, however, in our conditions seems not to be any problem for the combo at all. The motor gets warm a little, but nothing significant. You can rest your finger on it just fine. The ESC is completely chill.

What is interesting, when using so much power, I can easily tell how much the battery is charged, since there is quite a difference in the power delivery during a cycle.

Sitting on the YD-2 chassis, this combo also fits into the Yokomo design nicely.

I don't have a single regret for getting this combo as it is well adjustable, functional, smooth and its' power allows me to easily keep up with the CS cars without any heat problems.
