A couple of Questions guys.

First, I have no brakes if I run in the Sensored mode. If I run in DDR, I do. I have calibrated my radio with the brake EPA set down as low as the ESC will register it, which is 75% on a 4PK, turned it up and It's still no better. Any suggestions for what the problem could be?

Second, I am running a 17.5 Tekin motor, RS Pro V200, SMC 4000 1S, Novak booster. I need some baseline settings for a medium sized, medium grip track. I have tried motor and ESC timing cranked, both backed off, turbo on at all different levels, and everything in between. Can someone suggest a rollout and some settings?

Thanks,
Scott

Just got mt rs pro and will be running with a booster, but wana change to a receiver pack, do you guys always use a regulator or not, can u recommend a decent one?

There are sensorless escs around, like the R1

I don't use a regulator. I have two 3.7v 140mah lipos in series.

Tekin have stated previously that while the esc seems to work fine without a regulator they suggest against doing so.

Obviously they cant really comment on the how your receiver/servo likes running at the higher voltage.

You don't need brakes I run my drag break setting at 0 and Break strength at 80.

Setting wise, try:

throttle profile 3
boost 20
turbo 10
motor timing low (2-4)
3.1" rollout

If the motor comes off cold, more boost or motor timing and another pinion.

True, I've been running a 2S lipo for a while now and have had no problems.... so far

i would have to agree with wayne. I do not run any drag brake, I do run 100 on the brake, but i am running push to keep the motor braking from slowing the car down. I have always been told by people that in stock you never use brake. just fyi
Throttle profile 5
boost 18
turbo max
motor timing is 0
push at 70
rollout 96mm
delay .5

In stock touring we never used brake with brushed motors. Is it really the same with brushless?

If you read the other part of my post, running in sensored mode, I have no brakes period. No matter how I have drag brake or brake strength set. I have a tone of brakes in DDM.

Any suggestions on that?

I can try it this weekend. But I never hit the brake at all and am running push in the speedo. so I really never noticed if the brakes work at all. I guess they do. at the end of the race before I hit the boards, I hit the brake to stop the car so I can pick it up.

I will play with that this weekend and let you know

You may be geared so tall on the pinion that the motor when braking cannot offer enough resistance. How is the car geared at the moment? What is the complete setup of the motor and ESC?

I'm at a 72mm roll out right now. I have been as high as 111 but obviously that doesn't work. The setup that Randy posted was what I started with with standard, zero, and maxxed motor timing. I have also tried Maxxed, mid, and zero esc timing. Tried max turbo, mid, and zero.

I have put the set up that Randy posted back on. I am using a Tekin 17.5 with all this right now.

At 72mm you should have excellent brakes. Try resetting the ESC to factory default, then program it again.
