running 528 on gt2.0 pro, v3 13.5 on a short tight indoor carpet track with a 22m straight. 66feet.
where should i set the timing to on the motor? max acceleration is more important than terminal velocity. many thanks.

Leave the timing in the middle of the slot. Let the ESC software sort out the timing.

Ever have your GT 2.0 start 2 act like the lipo is dead after only a minute racing? It literaly cuts off like its ''thermoing''.I have tried the sensor wire and motor but it still does that problem.Could it be the capacitor? and or the software? thanks.

id try another lipo, check your lipo cut off. try at least 3 sensor wires and check your soldering. when it cuts out whats your motor/speedo temps. have you changed your gearing?

What motor speedo combo are you using should be looking at around 160-170 or lower if possible but that is the safe zone. you shouldn't need a heatsink/fan plus pan cars usually dont react well with a heatsink /fan in the rear pod so just a few things to watch.

The issue starts after almost the second lap, and the temp are not hot ,just warm.Could it be my computer? I will try to change another couple of sensor wires,but when it did the problem...I put the motor from my car with the lrp old spere -same thing.Thanks for the input,I will try to download the set up again and see what happens.Is this anything that any body here has ever experienced? Also even if some other car runs close and hits me I experience some loss of power...?

Default 528 Mod firmware

Solara,
Hi, Can the 528 Mod firmware be used in a GT2.0pro ? Is there an advantage to this speedo over my GT2.1pro with an 8.5 V3 and/or 7.5 V3 for offroad, your opinion/knowledge base?

Thanks a billion !

Brandon

In onroad tc, I couldn't feel much of a difference between 528MOD and 205_MOD in my Gt2.0 Pro. This was on a medium sized track.
