Shown in Japan at the Shizuoaka Hobby Show, LRP announced a new Quantum Competition 2 speed control. Although we're not able to decipher much of the particulars that separate this from the current model, it appears to be a second-generation version of thier top-of-the-line competition speed control.

The Quantum 2 is reportedly 100% waterproof. apparently LRP is confident enough in this claim that thier display featured a Q2 speed control powering a motor for the duration of the event while submerged in a water tank.

The Q2 appears to feature dynamic drive frequency. This means the speed control is able to intuitively evaluate the driving conditions and adjust the drive frequency accordingly to provide the best performance for the conditions. It's said to maximum punch and run time.

The Q2 is 100% electronic - There are three set-up modes accessible through the two buttons installed in the face of the speed control.

I'm sure there's much more information to come about this new speed control, and it will be posted as soon as we receive a full list of features from the manufacturer.

Not sure. If they're just showing at the show in Japan, It could be a month away, it could be six months. I'll see if I can find out more from the US distributor.

Very cool. I have the original Quantum Competition and I'm VERY pleased with the performance thats packed into such a small PCB.

Now only if they'll allow me to trade it in for this latest model...

It looks cool, but i hope there are increases in performance over the original. I wouldnt be pleased if they just waterproofed it slapped a new sticker on it.

Well Id get one if it isnt like $200 but what really would have been cool is if they put it in a car and waterproofed everything but the ESC and ran it underwater. Whoa.

Just the fact that it wont come apart after every run makes me want to buy 2 more.

And if it realy has a real-time drive freq. adjuster, that would be bad ass. I would probably just turn it off anyway, but, who know's.
