The mix of those kind software with Speed Passion easiness.

so now speedpassion didn't lag of knowledge.
Don't worry Irgo, as GM-racing is/was also distributed by Schumacher/Schumacher-USA the software developers will be well aware of how good the GM software is. I'm sure the next generation software will have some of the best innovations included.

Been playin around with timming and gearing and seeing as how the Nemisis motors don"t seem to like timming, I have set my timming to zero with a little better results. I am now going to try setting the ESC LPF timming down from 26 to 22 and then gear up a tooth or 2 to see if that helps.

Any thoughts.....

Thanks,

Brent
I've been telling people for over a year you'll get more from a couple teeth on your pinion, over some static timing in your motor. Nobody believes me until they try it. So I think you on the right path.

Default Super Capacitor

Adam,

For the mod 3.5T V3 Sp Motor,

can I use two super capacitor 4-6cell on my setup?
Also add a high voltage fan for the ESC GT 2.0 Pro?

For the 9.5T v3 can I use the 107, or 110

Thanks in advance

Higher FDR would be great starting point.


Adam, are you still with Speed Passion ?

You just need to be conservative with your gearing and test each setting thoroughly.

If the new software is anything like the tekin we'll be gearing our 10.5s lower than mod
110 is suppose to be cooler then 107...and I was referring to my prototype software that we are still testing, that has TURBO, BOOST, TIMING ADVANCE....by alot. Alot more then 110. Thats why it can be HOT if the AMTS was set higher then 6 (18.50)

Yes...+1 about get rid of the Nemisis....LOL

Can anybody tell me if a lpf v1.1 speedo will function okay with 1s mod?

Or do I need to budget for a new speedo?
The motor limit is quoted as 4t for 4.8V, but I'm hoping to get away with 3.5T with the lower voltage.

will be running a rx pack.


Thanks

I don't have an esc yet, would the LPF work or is it for stock class motors?I am a noob so bare with me, still trying to figure out things.abailey21 it would be cool if you could answer to at least some of the questions.I know i'm not a racer so my questions are not the highest priority but your the SP guy so gotta ask here.

got it to fit.........now when i go to turn the esc on it doesnt turn on.


when i press&hold the setup button the esc turns on and everything is normal

but when i let go of the setup button.......the esc turns off.

i have no idea on whats happening. I checked my soldering and there is no contact between all of the wires.

should i try setting up the esc again?

another thing is when the switch is in the on position the esc beeps so i took it out quickly bcuz i thought it was reverse polarity or the input voltage abnormal alert tone

I could use two super caps, but why would you?

Default Speed Passion Turbo and Stock Firmware.

No wonder That version is noted "Stock" only.

it was The Turbo and Boost, with Dynamic timing included,

i like Speed Passion leave them as scientific name's rather Turbo and Boost.
since what they (other Factory) called Turbo is not really a Turbo.

as i can remember There is only one it called Turbo (for real),
once like past previous Tekin Brushed controller (i forgot the name),
that work like 1S Boost, build inside the ESC,
that will active when last Throttle is taken.
but Today Tekin Turbo is not that real Turbo anymore.

That all simply Dynamic timing.
rather causing Controversy on other company by naming "turbo".

as those previous Stock Firmware is for Stock only.
and such 205G is for Mod, where it will work on Stock either.

The problem with these kind of software is always Update the firmware
each time we want to change between Stock or Mod.

take a lesson, GM software is simply Turn off the Turbo on their settings
rather Update the firmware.

And that's is why SpeedPassion build Torque Limit adjustment for their
Dynamic Timing, because this way is better with less Firmware Switch.

So name Turbo,Boost , is likely to help us to know that
it was Different kind of Dynamic Timing.
Where here in Speed Passion we saw it as "Stock" noted on it's firmware.

Open up your broken switch and take a picture of the wires in order...then solder the same order onto the new switch...no bridging.

Solara wiring is wrong.


Kriss you are put wires the wrong way,

you might be inverted between wires,

keep in mind the red is at center,
try to invert the white and the black wires.

look again at the video

Based on what I am seeing, MOST of the people posting here are running the SP in On-road applications. What to do about Off-road?

I'm in the process of setting up a Sp GT v2.0 mated to a 10.5 BL motor (with the new power current plugin system by Banzai. Anyone have any tips or setups for Off-road 4wd? I think I have the layout figured out, but my concern is with the placement of the capacitor etc. Is there anything different I should know about off-road vs on-road?
