This combo has great all around power, good bottom end, mid range and top end, I wasn't sure what to gear it at, so i started a little lower then whats normal for a 17.5, (well what used to be normal) the Mi4 has a internal of 1.8 so i geared it 106/49, after the first race it came off at 78 degrees and thats a 6 minute race. next heat geared it up, 106/51, still cool to the touch and still under a 100degrees, 3rd heat geared it up to 96/49 motor came off at 112 degrees, so up again in gearing for the main, 96/51 motor temp 128, set fast lap of the race and finished second after a rough start sent her to the back of the pack on the start.

Firstly I am confused by your request to not go lower than 6.0 FDR - right now I am on a 3.88 FDR and the motor is still asking for more as the temperature doesnt even hit 50 degrees Celcius after a 7 min run (track is mid size and mid to high traction on road). To be honest if I hadn't stripped one of my motor screws yesterday I would have gone lower probably back to my original 3.2 FDR (I run a 416WE) - P.S. temperature yesterday was a little on the low side but still reasonable at about 22C when the sun was out and about 19C when it wasn't (track temp was a constant 25-28C). So I guess my first question is could there be something wrong with my sensor/motor?

Secondly I am even more preplexed with the setups - With my previous 107 software and running at 3.4 FDR (85/51) and standard rotor (with DDRS @ 7 and AMTS @ 8-max) I was averaging about 1-1.5 seconds faster than the standard requested 17.5 setup with an FDR of 3.88 (85/45) - with exactly same setup and almost identical track conditions. And to be honest I never noticed the boost at all. It was only when I took the plunge in my second race (down to utter frustration) yesterday when I maxed out everything (and re-calibrated the controller to eliminiate this possible issue) that I noticed any speed difference - however this was at best what my previous 107 average was which was nothing compared to what the tekins out the front were rolling around in (almost a second better and i wasn't even on the botton end of the field neither - though at this rate I would most certainly be there next round and kissing the championship goodbye)

What was even more interesting was that one of the guys racing with me using a Hobbywing ESC (with also the 230 software) and same FDR and motor was able to get better performance with the same input levels.

I guess what I am trying to figure out here is, is there something wrong with either my ESC or motor - and what do I have to do to get some more straight line speed out of this thing as it is now at the point of the ridiculous trying to compete by giving up such a straight line advantage (almost 30%) - especially with both the 410 and 323 software neither available nor perfected nor a probable solution with what I am reading on these forums. Although by the sounds of things the 410 is a step in the right direction if it is comparable in the straight line.

One last thing I found odd was that after every 7 minute run the battery limit never went below 3.9 (I.P. 3800 35C)

Cheers

My confusion is with setting #15

Document 1 states:

Supercharger Punch: This setting controls timing advance at RPMs below the Start RPM setting. Lower settings decrease motor temps, and higher settings increase punch and motor temps.

While document 2 states:

This setting artificially retards the AMTS setting at high load/low RPM states to help the motor stay cool, and gain back punch from being “over dvanced”. The higher the setting #, the less advance is being shown to the motor before the Supercharger engages, and therefore the cooler the motor will run, and likely to have more punch as well.

so which is which? Will a higher setting # increase or decrease motor temps, and what is the effect on punch in the in-field?

Also... do u guys think i will be able to run a v3 9.5T with this software?

There is punch like you can only dream about ever having, (its like running a modified motor) compared to the Speed passion AND top end speed that is insane (leaves the Speed Passion in its dust wake!)

I have had the GT 1.0 and still have a GT 2.0 (for modified 4wd off road). But I am seriously considering selling my GT2.1 pro stock and getting a GM after trying one (just for touring cars).

Everyone goes on about how we need software to catch the Tekins ......... Forget that because the target has moved and now Speed Passion need to catch the new GM 120 speedos.

None of this beta software even comes close I am afraid to say and this drip, drip, drip of updates is really dragging on now.

Also SP need to sort out a more upto date PC interface that is more modern looking.

Sorry but I know some of you will hate what I say but this is my opinion and findings.

Speed passion need to get their act together and get this sorted FAST!!!! or loose customers to quicker rivals!!!
