I wonder why hotwire application do not support 64bits yet. I don't think it is a complicated task to compile a 64bits application in .net net environment (if hotwire using .net framework). I am a software developer and successfully converted all the applications in 64bits mode for my company. Please let me know anything I can help.

On a 64-bit operating system, 32-bit applications run on top of an emulation of a 32-bit operating system that is called Windows on Windows 64, or WOW64 for short. WoW64 intercepts system calls to the operating system made by a 32-bit application. I think hotwire application depend on 32-bit drivers (or not WoW64 enabled), and it cause not run on a 64-bit Windows.

Hardware timing advance vs software timing advance
Hi. Just a question that's been bugging me for awhile.
I know we can advance the timing in Hotwire and 1% roughly equates to 0.3 degrees?
So lets say I retard my motor's end bell timing by 5 degrees. Following which I set timing advance in Hotwire to 17%. Does that give me the same performance as setting the motor endbell to 0 degrees with no Hotwire timing advance?
Does either way have certain advantages over the other?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can enlighten me.

In your calculations, don't forget that most motors on the market start with 30 degrees of internal timing...

That's not really my main focus currently. Reason being the X-12 I just bought comes with 10 degrees timing retard as default and recommended by the factory (likely due to earlier bearing failure issues). I have thus been running it in this config but am interested to know if I can regain the 'so called 0 deg timing' just by advancing the esc software

Is best to maintain the timming in this motor in -10, more efficient, and leave the esc have the dirty work, you need to test with some software timming advance vs gearing, a combination of both, for adecuate at your driving and track.

I know I may get flamed for printing this but.....
the way I see it, there is no difference between
a) 0 motor timing & 0 esc timing with normal fdr
and
b) full motor timing & 0 esc timing with higher fdr
and
c) 0 motor timing & max esc timing with higher fdr
im finding this after a whole year of testing, and comparing my cars to others with no esc timing. Just when I think one option is better then the other, I go try the other 2, and can lap comparable times.
The real benefit is with the small footprint of the tekin speed control.
I've found, and am keeping to my set up of full motor timing, plus esc 10 boost just to give it abit more then what the physical motor can, and play with my gearing til I get 150F at the end of my runs.
thats my honest opinion!
have fun finding out for yourself!
