it did in the past though. The original price was $1550+ship, batteries I spent $163 for 2 sets. Even including the OFT tuning option at $500 which allowed for E85, it was a complete system under $2,300. The price went up $300 for V1.2. IMO, that was getting on the high side, but still worth it considering it could be installed in a few hours with basic tools.

If a similar performing system is going to cost $3,200 to $3,400 (whatever the real price is), I agree, it is too expensive for the performance vs other options.

But Rob had a waiting list 3 pages long of people who obviously thought it made sense. And I don't know how many people with 86's and Miata's who bought the unit who still think it makes sense.
I got a feeling it has something to do with copyright infringement. I'll bet Rob was served with a cease and desist order. It's really too bad.
I'm sure the TorqAmp works great but the price is pretty steep.

These kits have their place IMO. I wonder who is gonna due the tuning for this new kit... Can't just use the old ESC tune... and I don't think Shiv will be making a base map. For those who are not able to install a full bolt on kit like a sbd kit or deal with CARB its not a bad option.

Agreed but the price point has to be right imo and an ots tune will need to be available somehow.

Anyone ever try to slap on a blow off valve on their phantom?

Hi Guys,

Has anyone managed to convert their ESC to LiPo power? Hos did you integrate the battery charging? :)


Cheers,


Josh
