Default Sensor Wires

The sensor wire that came with my RS/17.5 combo is about 10 inches long. Is there one available that is shorter and are all company sensor wires the same?

essentially lower boost or timing will give more punch for a short tight track.
increased boost or timing gives added mid to top speed for medium to large tracks and the Turbo gives more speed on longer straights.

If what you said is true, then the turbo function of the RS is similar indeed to that of the brushed speedos of the past (as I have mentioned above)

One question remains then. Is the turbo going to override the current limiter settings?
Are you talking about the "turbo start" on the qc2 and 3 where you hold full brake for 3 seconds before the start tone and then the instant any throttle is applied the fets go straight to full on?

Turbo does not override the current limiter; it just changes the timing in the motor. e.g. if you have the current limiter set (lets say it cuts you off at 20 amperes) and when turbo kicks in the timing advances and more current will be pulled. Say you were pulling 10 amps and then the advance timing is trying to pull 23 the instant it kicks in: the limiter will still apply and the second gear "kick" will be softer, but you will still have the same top end.

Several companies offer varying lengths and they are all compatible.

i would go with the TQ sensor wire.....they make them in any size length and are extremely flexible

Current limit does just what it sounds like. It limits the current going to the motor and is usually used with mod motors or slick tracks. It helps the car start smoothly and limits wheel spin.

Thank you very much krio. How do you know all this stuff? Yes, that was the function. You cleared now my confusion. Yes, I do understand now there is some difference to the old speedo turbo function (in brushed).

To conclude, I was not concerned about termalling, just wandered if the settings wouldn't fight/affect each other somewhat. I find it much more useful to understand how things work when trying to reason what settings I should use rather than just take it for granted and follow meaningless lists of other people's settings (meaningless because they may or may not apply to my conditions-track, etc, not because they don't make sense).

Thank you Alex. Can you tell us what was the final drive ratio as well?

As far as I figured it out the current limiter does exactly that i.e. does not allow the motor to draw more current than the set value even the motor would like to. The reason to use it might be two fold. One is that it might control wheelspin (the motor can not accelerate as hard) and the second is to protect the motor in case there is some other problem that would labour the motor making it draw too much current.

PS Dang! Someone beat me again. You can tell we live too effing far away from everywhere.

do i drop it again for shorter tracks

thanks in advance
What motor do you use?
Best is to set the motor to 0 and the boost to 30.
Gear it light. You will have enough punch for the infield.
When your motor has a timing of 12. Set your Boost to 18.

When you go to a lower boost, you can gear your motor a bit heavier.

Personally do I like the setting of motor 0 boost 30 more. And gear light.

i run lrp so the timing is set to 12
but i dont know how to change it
plus last time i ran it was only getting to 45c but when i geared up it seemed to slow

When you win a lot at the infield. Gear a tooth heavier. Your top speed will go higher.
do this only as you have enough infield speed.

What is the Timing on the Novak Motor?
Was that 25?
If so set the boost to 10.
Throttle profile 5 will give you more acceleration in the beginning but when I see the track, keep it on 3.
I drive always 5.
Also here with a 10,5T Lipo.
http://users.telenet.be/RC-Club-Nuclea/Info/Info.html
After each race we have an other layout.
It's a narrow track with a lot of traction. so much that almost every body has grip roll.
this is a short movie of the mod class.

don't go higher than 18 boost on a smaller track.
I ran the LRP with the 189 with a boost of 13 to 18.
When you go to a bigger track you can use 23 boost. I did this only on bigger tracks. On a small or a medium track you don't have advantage of the higher boost.

you can only change the timing on the motor up.
It's better to keep it on 12. don't set it higher.

sorry final drive ratio is 4.20952 basically 4.21... guy with the TC spec was running same FDR as me and was like What THE F_ _K how did you just do that... lol

and that was boost at 15 LMAO i will set it to max for next wednesday night and show him what Tekins all about...
