ok, tryin to figure out a ballpark gear for my 008 mated to a 17.5 duo and a RS. havent been up to the local track recently and even in talkin to folks for a baseline, i'm gettin a lot of different answers. some even referencing the wide gap is because of the speedo and its abilities. right bout a 100' stretch and the rest is carpet-esque 'twisties' on asphalt. right now a 104/42 (4.2:1) ratio sits in there. purely b/c its what i had to outfit the car having bought that ratio for VTA (another class option). can i find out if i'm in the ballpark and if not what needs to happen pinion and/or prgm'g wise to get me to close enuff to test on track and pinpoint. easy on me, never done brushless touring. brushless offroad, the tekin allows you to 'miss' the ideal FDR, but i know that tolerance is tighter for onroad. thx
btw, the 2 RSs i have here are v1.89 (b4 and 008), i will be orderin a 3rd here in next 2wks for the 12r5 (which i'm told should use v1.94??)
thx

Like Fred said I too find I get more brakes in Sensored mode. Also check to make sure you didn't have ABS activated on the radio when you calibrated the ESC and if you have a Hotwire get some newer software loaded on the ESC. I found that the later versions also have more brakes.

Document on using RS with Hotwire
I recently bought my first RS, with Hotwire. I found the learning curve to be rather steep. I needed to read many, many posts in this thread to figure things out. The results are worth it, but Tekin would do better if getting started were easier.
So I wrote a short document (attached) that summarizes what I learned by reading all those posts and by using the RS with Hotwire. I hope it will help others come up to speed more easily.

Guys, Im in the market for a new speedy and motor for primarily 10.5 and some 17.5 racing. Im tossing up between the SPX and the RS series. Do i really need the pro model for stock racing or is the standard RS model going to be ok? I could spend the extra cash from the RS on a Hot wire is my thinking. And what sort of warranty support can i expect buying from either a HongKong or American store and having it shipped to Australia? There are a few local shops selling these but at around $470au for a motor and speedy getting one from stormers or a main at around $360au landed is much better for my wallet. Unless someone can recommend a better online store that isnt going to take 2 weeks to send something out at ridiculous shipping prices. Cheers Benzaah...

As for the RS vs RS Pro, you won't need the Pro unless you are running modified racing a majority of the time.
