If my build goes to plan i would be interested in that, and looks like mine is well under the £200............has to be im a tight git lol 2 Quote

I already have too many cars I don't use! I buy them, strip them down fully and rebuild and clean as I go... They then sit on the shelf 🙃 1 Quote

The advantage is it's a bit bigger to see but would need some work on the suspension to get it similar to a touring car/on road. The Arrma franchise is not one I'm familiar with but the Infraction and Felony look great. Maybe some parts from them could help convert a Senton? I'm going to start with my TT02 with a normal 2s brushless setup and see how fast I can get it. Then look at lower KV but higher voltage setup. 3 Quote

I would prefer to sell the senton, but it may not go and not letting it go for silly money, so there is the option of making it into a tarmac speeder, but lets see how the Strada project goes first, and yes i will be reporting back on the speed flea 2 Quote
Lone-wolf Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 My Speed Flea has arrived, quick power up outside and it soon got sats, seems to work and a tiny little unit, dont know when i will test it but might put it in car as i have to go out and pick wife up in a bit 1 Quote

His offering a connector so it's can be plugged straight into the RX Quote
Lone-wolf Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 forgot to update on here FWIW i put the flea in my full size car plugged into the lipo and it recorded top speed just perfect, worked well 1 Quote

Alex97 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I'm glad I held off getting a speedflea as his already updated it... Quote
Derka Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) My gripes with the original one were shorting pins to change modes and reset and the GPS 1hz refresh rate. Pretty disappointing that it's now pretty much redundant as this new one is much more user friendly. I totally understand it's just business but would be nice if they offered a trade in the old one and upgrade at a discount to the new one. I'm still happy with my SkyRC GSM020. It's larger but does not require external power and has inbuilt memory. Easierbmounting too as it's not as fragile. Edit... It has a faster processor but no mention if the GPS chip has a faster rate or whether that limit was due to the cpu. Edited March 10, 2021 by Derka Quote
