Or is it like a Mac where it has limited expandability, so you just throw it away when the time comes.
Why it it that people who obviously don't use a mac have to make unfound claims about it?

I have a Powerbook G4 that's over 6 years old that can still do more than what a 2 year old dell can do..

I still use my older KO speed controls and they work fine, so nobody is forcing you to upgrade and you can only do so much in software, the FETs etc can not be software upgraded.. so why bother

when other manufacturers are rushing out with inferior programs, then start posting all these 'upgrade' firmware to fix problems, it's not my cup of tea.. i rather have a proven program from the factory that works right from the get go

i am not to clear on how the timing thing works but im thinking that as you get farther into the throttle the more timing the speedo puts in so zero would be 0 timing adjust and 1 would be like say 50% and 2 would be full adjust. this is not like other speedos where you put in an amount of timing. like i said im not to sure how this works but this is what i think.

They are 0, 1 and 2 and that's it. Robert told me that #1 is pretty close to LRP TC Spec. Can you imagine what #2 will give you?
I have run this BMC and really love it....very good power.

Help
Any one have the pdf file for the BMC so I can see how to hook it up to a pc?

I have an older ICS and have the BMC hook up to it and te pc it see the com port but how do I get the BMC to talk with the pc. The older ones we would have to put the ESC in a mode to talk with the pc and mine seams to not want to go into that mode and on the KO web site there is not link to the VFS-1 BMC Manager Instructions 1.52 there is an Icon but it not working.
anyone help as I running 4 cells and the defalt is for 6cells.


Thanks

first, the battery must be pluged into the ESC.
then make the connection to the USB cable.
open the BMC manger, select the correct com port number.
then, everthing is ready.
