Hey Paul, Chad again from Jeffs rc studio. Im running gtp 1/12 13.5 boosted and having temp problems. Im running a Tekin rs and have it setup boosted from another guys software who sets up most everyones electronics at our track in 12th scale. My rollout is between a 44-45 and my motor is coming out around 200, not the prefered 160. I dropped a few teeth on my pinion but no luck on cooler temps. I have a feeling i need to lower the timing on my esc because im running the same gears, tire size and motor as most but with a hotter temp motor after 8 min. Ceramic bearings in the rear axle, nothing broke making drag. 64 pitch. I wish i new what my timing is set at but i dont currently, i do know my boost is at 55. Any suggestions on where I should have my esc timing at, or how much to bring it down from where its at to achieve 40 degrees cooler motor temp. Thank You
Thanks
Hey Chad-
I know I'm not Paul, but I figured I might offer some suggestions until Paul checks in. Of course, posting your whole Tekin/motor timing/rollout set up (probably get better response in the Tekin thread?) would help, but I never run 55 boost in a Tekin, and I only run 50 in 17.5 boosted. I would definitely try dropping the boost to 45 in boosted 13.5 12th. Its cool to see you're using the gravity tires!

Same as you would with Tire Tweak. Gee should be able to help you if you have any questions this week. He started using LG2 last weekend and preferred it over what he had been running. Paul's instructions work well too. I normally do two dabs on each tire then rub that in evenly. Let it sit 15-20 minutes and you're ready.

What are you using to rub it in? Your fingers?

You shouldn't need warmers unless you apply liberally. I didn't use warmers last week but they may have helped with how slick the track was. I think Gee is going to ask John to spray more this time tho. Hope the weather holds out for you guys
