He guys,

I am wondering about setting up a car for my 7year old. Actually a SC10 Off road short course truck with RS and 17.5 turn Redline.
I know this is the on road forum but this is the hot place for RS info it seems.

I want to limit power and ussually did this with end point adjustments on a radio.

Now that we have tekin rs's and hotwire would I do that with current limit only or a combination of current limit and end point setting?

Tell me if I am wrong.
Current limit only = slower release of power with full top speed available

Endpoint only = normal fast release of power but top speed is limited

Current limit and end point = slower more controlable release of power and top speed limited

This is either a setup that is off, or a radio system issue. So since you're using a KO are you calibrating the esc at 100/100 and bumping up the "hi" point to 105?

What is your esc setup? How big is the track? What is the layout like?

Correct on all counts. Current limiter to control bottom end power. Epa to control top speed.

Ideally this should simply be geared/setup for the speed you're looking for in the first place.

Hello randy,

i ve an rs pro with 212.

I don't see any rpm difference on fly wheel with the 1-2-3 preselected power profile ( ex throttle profile )

On the 4-5 i heard the additional timing kick up the motor rpm

Is it normal ? or maybe it s a bug and it will be fixed at the 213


Another one question,

I always drive a 10.5 boosted motor with the tekin. And for this week end i will try a 4.5 with 0 boost but few turbo for top speed.

So i set 0 boost and some turbo but when i test it, i don't see ( or heard ) any rpm difference. Look like the turbo don't work.

Maybe rs pro have a minimum boost requird to activate turbo launch ?

Thanks for reply

Throttle profile is the throttle curve, it dictates how "aggressive" the feel of the throttle trigger is. It doesn't change the RPM.

Manson

i know that, throttle profile on the esc was deleted and replace by preselected timing profile

This is true. Some boost must be set to use turbo. Ideally try a very very mild boost setup without turbo and find your gearing. A lot of our Team Drivers are using boosted 6.5 and 7.5 setups with great success.

can anyone tell me difference of profile c1 and c2 and minimum brake please?

20 SMOKE

there is no difference in c1 c2 that is the profile you get to chose the timing and rpm range so the difference is what you make it,minimum brake is the amount applied during the first touch of the brake if you have 10 you get 10* of brake when applied

Too bad to have boost to activate turbo. I think my lrp 4.5 have already a good acceleration boost would be useless.

Randy, do you know what is the mimimal value of boost for turbo activation ?


And can you tell me why the no boost, 2, 3 boost profile are same ? I dont see any difference betwen them when i switch it on the 5 th mod

Thanks

good job. thanx.

What software are you using? Are you changing "timing profiles" or "Throttle profiles?"

Manson

The 212 with the timing profile

I see a difference with the 35 boost ( led 4 ) and the 45 boost ( led 5 )

But the no boost mod and led 2-3 are same on my rs pro

Manson

I ve try some setups, on fly wheel always because the weather isn't good here.

The minimal boost required to have turbo activate is 25.

But i saw the turbo was less brutal when the boost was low...

Turbo value isn't a percentage right ?

I realy heard the turbo kick my rpm with 35-40 boost, but with 25 of boost, the turbo is less impressive.
