Lee Martin & Speed Passion team up

Lee Martin & Speed Passion team up

BRCA National Champion and Worlds Finalist Lee Martin has chosen to use Speed Passion products for his 2009 campaign. Lee joins Speed Passion as their off road specialist, as the company continues to develop and improve in all R/C classes. He will use both Speed Passion ESCs and motors at UK Nationals, EFRA championships and at the IFMAR World Championship and already has had some success with prototype versions of the 2.0B ESC by winning the international ‘Players 09’ race at Worksop in the UK beating some formidable competition along the way. Lee had this to say:

Speed Passion in testing has already proved to be a winning combination for me, posting faster times against everything else i tested! I chose to join SP not only for this but the huge amount of support and most of all the thirst to want to win! I’m joining a team of world class drivers and i cant wait to unleash SP to the off road world!

Lee will not only join SP to race their products, but will also help with R&D and push SP into the future of off road racing. There is also mention of a Lee Martin signature series range due to be available soon.

Exclusive – Speed Passion GT2.0 PRO

Exclusive - Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro

Seen for the first time here in the pits at the 3rd round of the Euro Touring Series in Warsaw, Poland, was the all new Gran Turismo 2.0 PRO Blue Edition speed controller from Speed Passion. This is the latest speedo from the World Champion motor company and is their first proper attempt at a high end competition speedo for modified racing and judging by the reaction of team driver Marc Rheinard, who is running the ESC for the first time, it seems to work very well. The ESC is scheduled for a mid March release in standard Carbon black colour, with the blue version seen in these pictures due for release after that.

Passionate – Speed Passion Gran Turismo LPF ESC

Speed Passion Gran Turismo LPF ESC

The Speed Passion name is around in the scene for some time now, making itself popular especially with the Competition R range of Modified brushless motors used by World Champions like Surikarn C. or Marc Rheinard. After the initial success of the motors it was only logical to develop a line of suitable brushless speed controllers.

First up SP the Gran Turismo and Feigao ESC for all 1:10 scale needs with a small footprint, low weight and high specs. From the beginning the Gran Turismo speedo was designed especially for all high current applications such as on- and off-road racing with low turn high power Modified motors (down to 2.5T). A bit later the more spec racing oriented Feigao was dropped in favour of the new Gran Turismo LPF which uses the proven Gran Turismo architecture and footprint – different from the Feigao.
