I've just bought a V3 and I've started with a boosted 17.5. I don't think there are too many people running this combo, so even ideas for an open asphalt track with a 13.5 would be great to see as a starting point. I'm using a revtech 17.5 if that helps. Thanks in advance - this is a huge learning curve!

How fast is the Xerun 1S esc compared to Tekin or Viper? In boost that is? Run 13.5 boosted and have not bought a new esc yet. Open for suggestions.

You will not be underpowered in Boosted/Turbo mode, or with the Blinky software. You just need to figure out how much boost/turbo you will like with the motor you are running.
Brakes are weak in the blinky software, but fine in the 930 boost/turbo software.

anyone on this thread know if a 35a-sl can be updated to run on 1s???
I have a v1.1 which I think is non update able.. but I also have a v2.0 which can. if the software or settings allows me to set the battery which I see in screen shots, can I do this on this esc???

Hi guys,
I'm just returning to racing after a break. I'm going to be running 13.5 boosted with a Thunder Power 13.5 motor and V2.1 Xerun ESC.
Can anyone suggest some initial settings I can try please?
Thanks
Dan

Guys I need help. I race in the 21.5 boosted touring car class. Until now, I used a HW 120A V2.1 ESC and an LRP X12 21.5 motor.
I race at TFTR in Melbourne Australia, and we are currently using Track 2 Reversed - http://www.tftr.org.au/index.php?p=1_46
My old settings with this setup were -
HW 930 Stock
FDR - 4.8:1
Endbell timing - 27.5 degrees (4 Dot)
DRRS - 4
Boost - 20
Turbo - 12
Turbo Slope - 18
Start RPM - 4,000
Turbo Delay - 0.2 Sec
Timing Acc - 450
LRP Radical motor heat sink and fan on motor
With these settings, I had great infield punch and reasonable top end (not the best in class, but I didn't mind). After a 6min race, the motor temps were around 80 - 85 degrees C.
I have just upgraded to a Reedy Sonic and HW V3 ESC, and just tried the following on the car stand -
Motor - Reedy Sonic 21.5
Endbell Timing - 0
FDR - 5.7:1
Still running the LRP Radical Fan & Heatsink
Punch Rate Switch Point - 5%
1st Punch Rate - 30
2nd Punch Rate - 30
Th Curve - Linear
Boost - 35
Boost Start RPM - 1,500
Boost End RMP - 12,000
Boost Slope - Linear
Boost By Throttle - No
Turbo - 25
Turbo Act - Full Throttle
Full Throttle Delay - 0.2 Sec
Turbo Engage Slope - 24deg/0.1S
Turbo Disengage Slope - 18deg/0.1S
If though I have only ran the settings on a car stand and not on the track yet, I can already tell that bottom end & mid range punch are severely lacking - it feels like 21.5 blinky until the turbo kicks in, and the transition isn't smooth.
Could someone help me with some settings to regain the lost bottom end & mid range, and smooth out the throttle ? This is my main concern at the moment. I want to run fairly conservative overall boost & turbo settings (35 & 25) until I temp the motor properly after a race.
And help would be greatly appreciated. The V3 ESC seems awesome, but the new settings & features are initially confusing.

As a starting point, the FDR of 5.7:1 is waaay too short. Most of the Reedy motors are quite "torquey", so I'd guess somewhere closer to 4.5 (or even taller) would be a better starting point. In blinky, 2.9 is not uncommon with that motor.
Secondly, I'd add a little static timing to the motor can. Not too much to start with, but that should help it feel a bit more alive off the line.
I think the boost start at 1,500 is too low - the motor is barely moving before you start throwing timing at it which will generate more heat than speed. Maybe move it up to 4,000 or more.
Give that a whirl - the actual boost/turbo numbers don't look too aggressive, but do short runs and keep a good eye on temps.
Phil.

Hello,
I just received two 1S HW 120A ESC.
Any help of settings on a 12th scale with a 10.5 with zero timing (blinky)? It's for an indoor carpet track that is small and technical. Here is a vid:

For now I didn't upgrade any software or anything.
