.ooops. Goofed. Post is in the quote...

what post was the 1s answer to the question in?

Rocking Donkey

Could anybody give me a starting suggestion for software version, FDR and timing advance. I'm running 13.5t rubber carpet touring on a track where the main straight is the length of a basketball court.

I have GT2.0 LPF speedo with Novak 13.5t motor (need to change this asap at the sensor wire is integrated into the motor - rubbish idea - SP 3.0 here I come). Last time I raced at this track I was using a Novak GTB esc with no timing advance and it was pants. There I had FDR=5.5.

I am running cells, not lipo, which can cause a problem as if the current draw on the motor gets too high the Spektrum receiver can cut out. I now have a Spektrum voltage protector capacitor, but still trying to draw too much current will only cause the voltage to drop and the motor to bog down. Would changing from my 6V servo to a 7.2V FET help the Spectrum as the power is taken directly from the battery and not from the BEC?

I'm looking for something smooth out of the turns and a decent top end, without overheating the motor. I only get one timed practice so not much space for trial and error. The most important thing is software, as I will not be able to change this on the day. I am using 110 at the moment on a much smaller track, but not sure if I would be better off with a milder program and higher gearing in terms of top-end vs temperature.

Also, does anybody know if the over-temperature motor protection from the Novak motor is compatible with the SP esc? I know it worked with the Novak esc, just not sure if the thermocouple, or whatever it uses is compatible.

Sorry about the verbal diarrhea, but wanted to give as much background as possible.

Any suggestions greatly received (Except for going Lipo; its on the list but money is really tight at the moment )

Adam was right, it's nice looking.
and The Bolt seem to look Upgradable it's hardwares,
as the new Cirtix case looks like.
where the text is at the bottom button, is smart way.
but still with 4 buttons as usual
Item,Value,Reset,OK.

The Port USB,Signal1,extra power. looks the same. way.
-at extra power port it view a bad presentation, the third pin didn't look very nice, which i think speed passion must fix it as soon as possible.

It's Labeled as
"Multi ESC Program Card" "Speed Passion"
Hope it will work's on all Speed Passion ESC.

as , it's No longer called "LCD Professional..."
but this is may be the Right LCD Professional worth to wait.

hope there is new thing on Multi ESC Program Card Software and Firmware.

The next thing is will speed passion support
allow us to replace previous LCD Professional with These M.E.P.C.

Thanks for the reply.

Just to clarify, when you say the v1.1 won't work with mod 1s, do you mean it won't run at all with 1s, or is it that it will be dog slow because it doesn't have all the fancy timing advance features of the later speedos?

Yupe...FAILED. I cannot even wire my own speedo thats why I have others to build RC cars for me...

Not enough voltage to even get that thing started...very simple, you can hook it up and try it and see that even start or not.

To be honest, I was TOLD at the beginning the V1. and V1.1 won't even work with 1s lipo...4.8V Nimh was the lowest....but you can prove me wrong.

With no software upgrade feature, I don't think V1.1 would work. But again...my 1.1 was like 3 years old now, I use it for SCT now with MOD motor.

For 12th scale 1S, I am sorry to say...at this moment, you need to think about the "T" brand. But I know SP is working on something about 1S application.

I'm not sure how much longer I can wait, I had the only car in the a-main last night that wasn't a tekin and I am having to over drive the car on the infield to make up for what I lose on the straight and running motor temps 160-170 just to try to keep up. Help! we need something soon.

We all just need to be a little more patient for a short period, if everything goes ok with what they're testing at the TITC then they'll release it. There's no point in them rushing and releasing software that just isn't ready and tested fully.

Adam, Speed Passion will be losing a valuable resource if they are foolish enough to let you go. Now maybe I am not a massive lover of Speed Passion, but I know a top bloke when I see one.

Here's hoping someone at SP home office sees the sense in keeping you onboard.

I was running a V1.1 with a duo 2 10.5 and novak booster on 1S lipo, in 1/12 and competing with the "T" until the software came out. As far as lower turns I don't know but 10.5 no problems.
