Ran the 110 on my TC....no problem, then tried to run the 110 on my 1S LiPo 12th Scale....was getting a Low/High Voltage alarm and was having trouble setting it up untill I shut off the LiPo cut-off OFF. Was then able to set it up with the radio but was then getting a bit of a screaching noise when reaching the upper limit of the throttle. I tried many settings on both the 107 and the 110 but was not able to get rid of that screaching. Then searched here and found out that maybe this program will not work properly on a 1S Lipo car so I decided to go back to the version 1.31. This is where I ran into trouble again. Completly uninstalled version 1.32, then reinstalled version 1.31 so that I could use the 312a software. Everytime I went to upgrade the 312a I got the following message appear across the computer screen. The Current Version (V1.1_091107Stock) Can Not Be Updated To The Version (V1.10_090312a_T) !

Not sure why this is happeneing or if I have to change what is already on the ESC in order for me to download 312a back onto the ESC but I can't.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated....thanks.

I've tried all 4 in my 12th car. software 107 and 110 don't seem to have the punch needed out of corners using 1s lipo. 312 is good but 323a is better for 1s racing. I installed the 323a software from version 1.32 and am loving it.

Default 312a

Thanks alot Ed (TryHard)

Loaded up the 323 on to the ESC and then went back to the V1.31 and was able to load the 312a back on.

One more question.....Can I use the LCD card like I use the little programing card without having to go on the computer? Just want to switch the perameters around within the loaded software but can't seem to get the menu to pop up on the LCD card?

Yes the lcd can adjust each setting just like the hand held programmer and in addition you can preset 3 overall setups using the pc software.
That way at the track there is no need for the pc unless you want to change the esc software.

Unfortuantly, didn't get a chance to run my V3 10.5, as I was still awaiting a sensor board, so ran my V2 version instead.
Started out the day with the all the settings to Max on the 107Stock (9 on drrs, max timing etc), and an FDR of 6.1. Felt a little undergeared, and then realised I was a pinion down on where I wanted to start.
Moved up two teeth to 5.7, and the car was very quick, but seemed to be getting some glitching moments, and the motor got a bit too hot (88°C!) for my liking, so dropped a tooth.
First final, although the car was certainly taking good speed onto the straights, but suffered badly with what appeared to be a loss of signal a couple of times, the car shutting down and turning hard left... Only damage was a bodymount thnakfully, so with second final, put in a spektrum cap, and bingo, worked a treat, if anything the power increase was more noticeable now (I'm wondering if the signal to ESC was a little sketchy without the cap previously).
Motor again came off a bit hot at ~83, so for the last final decided to experiment with the DRRS, having re-read the stock motor notes that comes with the V1.32 software. Dropped the setting to 7, and that dropped the motor to 77°C, and felt just as quick as before, albeit a bit smoother off the turn (as too be expected ).
Overall, very impressed with the new files, think I'll be keeping the 107 on the ESC for now... just need my V3 back to help drop the temp a bit more

HiH

Hey Ed. Thanks for your feedback. So what FDR did you up with? And you are leaning more towards 107 now, over 110? I'm hoping to try 107 or 110 this wkend in 10.5. Thanks mate.

If I check the motor with spba01, is it a problem (damage) that i use my radio to change the volume of the throttle signal ? Its just to see my radio do the same (volume of signal) as the throttle adjuster knob on the spba01 . The same rpm with radio or spba01.

Thanks.

+1 for the updated software, so much of an increase of power and definatly top end speed from the standard software came with the esc. running 10.5 v3 motor, gt v2.0 lpf with 107STOCK (v1.32 software) with FDR of 6.1 (havnt altered the gearing yet), maxxed out the timing on motor and speedo, let you all know how i do at B.I.W.S this sunday

I plan to load up the LCD Programmer tomorrow at the latest and have my gear ready to go.

Ended up on 5.94, and think that maybe about right with the V3 motor, as I know they run cooler than the V2 I had in the car. Or too put it another way, it's where I'll be starting this weekend, now I have a new sensor board

How much of a different between the ULTRA and V3 in price..? All I know is...if V3 is LEGAL per your track's spec, you always want to get the BEST motor so you can use it on mulitple classes (you can use it on TC or 1/10th 4WD off road).

It might be OK to use Ultra line on your SCT class, but probably ONLY on that class and you cannot use that on other class cause that might be slower then the others...

Can someone can walk me through the v132 download process. I have v131 on the lap top. Would like to try the 1110 software with my 13.5.

Thanks, Rob........

Thanks!

Try 1107 1st then 1110 and compare...or simply go straight to 1110.
