We are quite lucky, now the weather is excellent for racing outside.
Our local track is pretty much all SP now....

Thanks for the support...and keep letting us know about anything you guys working on....
In Chicago, we have something called SNOW so on road outdoor is over...we are moving in for little carpet match box car racing or Off Road. So if you guys have some good setup on ESC/motor, please let me know and I can post it on our web....
As well as other friends that used or ESC and Motor around the world...I will try to post them as well.

So the ESC is not the problem. In my opinion, running a 5.5T on a huge track is probably pushing it a little. Your motor would be safer, if it was a 4.5T
Well - more safe for the motor itself. Less safe for all people around the track

So... no one here knows why a new Green timing ring in a SP 17.5 V3 would cause it to cog and seemingly be broken? (as posted yesterday?)
no one sees this? Just trying to figure out if I should deal wiht the painful RMA process.

Hey there,
I have a 17.5R V3 1 Cell motor (sealed motor from IIC). I am racing in blinky 17.5 1/12 class and wanted more than the stock 10Deg of timing. I picked up (possibly by accident) the 20+ green sensor ring. even at the lowest timing of 20, the motor barely works. It drives like an old sensorless motor, chugging, and even at full speed it sounds very very harsh like a misfire in an old car.
The Tekin ESC I am using (in ROAR mode) shows all 3 Hall sensors reporting back.
is 20 Deg just a step too far for this motor? Should I return the sensor ring? If I put the stock 0-10 black ring back in, the motor runs fine.

Thanks,
I ordered it direct from SP, so I will ping them to get an RMA setup. I didnt know if this was expected behanviour.
Could it have anything to do with the fact this was a handout motor from Snowbirds (the 1S version)? They didnt set these up any different did they?
