The acer netbook will handle the complete program without any hassle.

Yup, works fine. I have Windows 7 on my Netbook, and I've never had an issue.

Let me rephrase my question. If you lower your timing advance in sensored mode, will this yield to a better bottom end?

No timing advance is only for if you happen to be in sensorless mode.

Check the quote. This guy might have found a better way to tune the tekin without adding boost for better bottom end.

Just because the words pop up when you mouse over it doesn't mean it's active. Put it in forward-only mode and mouse over reverse strength and you'll still see the explanation.

From everything I've ever seen, "Timing Advance" only applies to sensorless operation (dual mode). You can still set it even when in sensored only mode as a hedge against the rare occasion when you lose sensor operation for whatever reason. In fact, you could even do this in earlier versions, it just wasn't as obvious. You selected dual mode, set the timing advance, then selected sensored only and proceeded with the rest of your settings. Even though it was hidden it was still functional. The tabbed arrangement of the GUI for v208 made more sliders available so the timing advance slider could always be visible.

Been awhile since I checked in here since I have been very happy with my settings for awhile now. So I have a few questions:

1st - Any more progress on the Droid/Apple version? I'd like to get a Droid tablet as opposed to a netbook.

2nd - Does Tekin have anything planned yet for ROAR's recent spec ESC proposal in case that becomes the rule?

3rd - Any plans yet for a 1 cell ESC that doesn't need a booster or RX pack?

okay thanks for clearing that up. I must have misread or misunderstood the info boxes.

Can anybody tell me where I can get the v203 software? I'm not liking the 212.

It doesnt seem anywhere near as fast as the 203. I'm pretty sure I have the right settings. Dennis set it for me.
