The brakes in dual mode are relatively low...to get LRP TC like brakes you will need to switch to sensored only mode via the hotwire.

Ken,

I agree it wouldn't be all that useful, and there are too many other variables as you mention to make any direct comparisons between motors based on timing alone.

For me, it's just a touch of obsessive/compulsive tendency that keeps me wanting to know. In my case, knowing the exact timing I'm getting would be good for better sleep at night... and probably little else.

I got to admit that sounds a lot like me. I'd like to know exactly what the timing is, and I tend to over analyze most things and ask why/why not. Usually, its useless info but I'd rather have info I don't need than not have info I do need.

BTW the novaks have adustable timing. lossen thed screws on the back plate then the ring ( on a 13.5 is orange, 10.5 blue ect.) twists.

heres a pic of the ring out of the motor:

There seem to be quite a few unused LEDs on the hotwire?

I know you can adjust them, but it isn't really beneficial to if you have a tekin with boost. First, there are no marks to tell you what you are at. Second, you are twisting the whole endbell which flexes the internal motor wires unlike other adjustable motors that only spin the sensor harness.

Default RS Setup sheets

We have a new setup sheet for the RS and RS Pro available for download to help out keeping track of your settings when you don't have hotwire available. The PDF is setup to allow you to print 2 sheets side x side on one sheet of paper.

im not worried about flexing the wires, the way it was done. plus you can just calculate the timing like we did before for the lrps.

from what i understand boost is only at the top end anyway and it wont go as far as motor timing and software timing. i usually don't recommend more than 35 but there are instances where it can be needed

....BOOST IS SOFTWARE TIMING AND IS ADDED TO THE ENTIRE RPM RANGE OF THE MOTOR WHILE IN SENSORED ONLY MODE. Total additional timing is 0*-30* above and beyond what is achievable with the motor, and it is precisely adjustable in 1* increments.

If your running hybrid mode (you really only should be for winds under 10.5, the TIMING only comes into play when the unit switches from sensored to sensorless which is determined by rpm. NO I don't know what rpm.

Quick question. Is "push" in the hotwire only for brushed motors?

Default Hotwire tethering

Is the Hotwire tethered to one speed control and one pc, or can I borrow someone else's and use on my pc and my speed controller and not mess up the other guys settings?

Default messed up settings

If you borrow a pals ESc and change the settings they would be your settings and not his.
His would be lost as settings are not stored either in Esc or PC

As I understand it, "Push Control" is basicaly applying 'creep' in a brushed motor only during slowdown , to allow it to roll to a stop like a brushless rather than just have the magnets suck the armature to a stop
