Default Setting's

Hello Martin,

Can you help me out as i am a noob as to the new types of esc.
I have a GM90 new type i believe and run it with a LRP X11 10.5 stock motor sensored.
Our track has a straight of about 40 meters and a rather tech part infield(look at youtube under Model Racing Midland).
At the moment i run a fdr of about 4.4 and mode 6 on the esc.
Can you help setting the esc up for me??
I have the pc interface cable allready so i can do some programming at home.
Please help as i am totally new to this kind of esc's

regards Roy
Ps Car i drive is a Team Magic E4RS 2008

I posted a stock how-to a few pages back, have a read through it and you'll understand

when you run 10.5/lipo copy mode 8 to 3, when you run it with 5cells copy mode 6 to 3 and you are set

no, it will only allow you acces to the 17basic settings and is therefore not 100% suited for escs with the new firmware

Default FIRMWARE

Martin,

I see some new firmware has been released V7.2.

I am currently running v4.9 with 13.5T and Lipo, what are the main changes? And is it worth an upgrade?

Ralf said that:
Dear Michal,

i can't give you %.
It depends on the driving style, but up to 0.1-0.2s per lap.

Now you can think about it.

Hi Martin
Well I put the soft start back to the default setting as you suggested, and I also coppied 8 over 3, but I still get a delay off the start line, if anything its now worse than before, any suggestions would be helpfull please, the one thing ive not tried, is to change the sensor wire.
Cheers Malc

Martin,

A small question. Ive been testing with the GM120, and like the power it produces. But I'm having a lot of problems with braking. It is just nog braking as it should be. Im comparing this GM120 with the Nosram Stock Spec.
I've got an old GM120 Purple version, but it has a firmware update from last 1:12 scale stock Euro's. I've also downloaded the last Program from the GM Website, and read to al lot of the pages of this topic, but can not seem te find anything.

My car is just not braking hard enough, and it has a strange curve. My transmitter (Ko Helios) is set at 100 (not 150), and I've tried several Profiles, but tested most of all with the profile 6 in 3. In the software at the tab Reserved i've tried te new brake software, the new auto brake software, and the current limit for braking to set these on and off, but all of them would not work. ABS Didn't work either. I've tried severe Factory Reset's

When I brake a full speed it does not brake hard, but just slightley, and when the car slows down it's starting to brake harder and harder, and just at the point when you want to enter a corner it block's its wheels. It just a strange curve, and even the wrong way around curve if you have the "new brake software" that should brake hard when you run fast, and brake softer when you are runnig slower, my brake is just different.
I've tried Ful Brake and Brake Max in severeal different positions fomr 80 to 100 but these didn't work, I tried to run more initial brake (40) and that seem to smoothen the curve a bit.

When I Compare this to my Nosram Speedo I need to brake just 25% of the time with my Nosram instead of my GM120. Al this running has been done in a 4WD TC with a Spool out front, at the Mach Heemstede, Apeldoorn and HFCC in Holland

Can you give me some advise to solve this problem?

My Best Regards,

Robert

can you tell me which firmware version you got? (when you read out the esc, the white log box opens, after 38 values have been received, the firmware version will be displayed in the top left of the white box)

the 2 fastest drivers Daniel Wohlgemut and Alex Stocker used GM ESCs (Stocker used lrp on sunday though)
it was just very bad luck that they did not win the race

I really can't think of a cause of such a delay, as I don't know how much of a delay you mean ....

the only thinkg I can think about is that you might have messed up the ESC program ... therefore a factory reset should do
