Mine was fine after doing this.

For all those whom were running with NO timing boost, but with some amount of turbo with v.200, the turbo won't kick in when using V.203 unless there is some timing boost added.

Specifically, I've been running NO timing boost with MAX turbo with V.200. With v.203, I had to add some timing boost (I put it to 10), so that the turbo would kick in...

Can someone (Randy) explain this phenomenon?
Is this possible that, with v.203, some timing boost (anything other than 0) is required in order for the turbo to work?? (TC, 2S)

Oh, and thanks a lot to tekin for the new software. It looks like you guys spent a lot of time and money into getting this out for us to enjoy. It's all much appreciated!!!!!!!!

there are alot of ways to setup the speedo now with all the new setting. the last couple of weeks of testing, I have gone a different direction then most. what I have been doing is using timing boost to help the car get out of the corner faster. so I work on a combination of timing and gearing. i add 5 degrees each time until I find that the acceleration out of the corner feels soft. then I start to add more gear and see where I am. once I find a good combination of timing and gear, then I work on turbo. I use turbo mainly on the straight. it really is to raise your top speed. If there are several places on your track that you hit top speed, then you are just going to have to come up with a compromise or pick the longest straight. as far as start and end rpm i try to keep them between 1500 and 2500rpm difference. this is really because i find that any more does not get the car out of the corners any better then vegas 200. I start high in the rpm range of the motor and then work my way down 500rpm each time.

so for our "large" track, for 17.5 1/12th I ended up with the same roll out as my vegas 200 setup. I left the rpm range the default in the v203 and had 10 end bell timing and 45 software timing and 6 turbo at .4sec, ramp 2. this basically dropped my laptime .5sec a lap.

we now have a new layout. most of the guys were at the track all day and ran vegas 200 to get a good setup. then we loaded v203. in 13.5 tc. most found that they liked 10 motor timing, 50 software timing, turbo 8, .4sec delay, ramp 3 and rpm 2100-4900. motors were coming offf at 101-110 and most drop laptimes by .5 - .8 sec

i did try the larger span of start and end rpm, and really it felt softer then a narrow rpm range. i also find that anything less then .4 really does not do anything for turbo. it just ramps to early.

just fyi 17.5 is 2200Kv and 13.5 is 3300Kv

i am sure that the other setup yield just as good results

High RPM should be highest infield speed?
Turbo should hit on the straight at about 110% of high infield RPM?

Ramp would be determined by how tight the track is?

Initial timing should be as low as possible, 5 degrees?

Would these set points be correct, any thoughts?

Start here

boost 50
turbo 10
delay .1 adjust if more or less is needed on straight
ramp 3
end rpm 7000-6000 (7000 for longer tracks and 6000 for shorter)
start 2400-2500ish

make sure to temp 2 minutes in no matter what
