I think when the reset was done it also reset all my settings and it was very slow and might have been set to the original version also. Any help with this would b wonderful. Thanks a lot.
The three lights will show up if your neutral setting is off. Either the radio is drifting or you're setting coast or drag brake on the radio with the neutral point.

I had a similar problem in vegas. Randy and I found a wierd thing. I was running a usb hub off my laptop and then the hotwire off the hub. I am not sure if my total length of the usb was too long, but I would set the speedo with hotwire and then I had no throttle. even after calibration with the radio. I removed the usb hub and plugged the hotwire and usb cable off the laptop and never had this happen again.

Quick question regarding the RS with either booster or rx pack.

When fully installed, does it matter which switch is turned on first? Battery to ESC or Booster to RX?

Thanks

BTW assume FW200

Thanks

Great, thanks a lot. I have a m11, any idea what setting I should look under with this radio. Again, thanks a lot!

At the current time yes, you must have the Hotwire to select the 1s setting.

I apologise if this has been asked before!

When setting the Turbo delay, at what point does the "clock start ticking?

Say it is at 0.5 seconds, is that 0.5 seconds after you hit full throttle or 0.5 seconds after the full boost has been applied?

Also does the amount of time it takes for the boost to be applied differ depending on the value selected would 15degs of boost be applied in half the time of 30?

thanks

it starts ticking as soon as you hold full throttle, the idea is to get upto speed using the timing boost then the turbo kicks in, if turbo kicks in before you will have that much timing on the motor it will end up being slower rather than fast and just heat the motor up.

Adds additional degrees of timing after the delay, but it is a ramp up of that amount, so it doesnt hit all at once. you can see it when you free run the car.

Anyone know what the specs are on the TQ booster? I'm curious as to the output voltage and current capacity of the TQ booster.

I'm not sure, but I think it's 5V. Two weekends ago, I was using an RX pack. Last weekend I ran a TQ booster. Both seem to function about the same, although I guess the steering would be a bit better using the RX pack. I really did not notice a difference.

I am curious if weight is a factor at all. Adding weight should reduce steering rate, right? So comparing the 2s lipo pack w/ 6v regulator versus to a tq booster at 5V, the effective steering rate may actually be about the same given the reduced weight of the booster. Just a guess, but I really don't think it matters in my application (1/12 pan) where I can get away with a $30 servo.
