The term "Boost" comes from what Tekin calls the timing advance in their software that you use to adjust the timing advance.

makes sense. I just couldnt for the the life of me understand "boosting" an electric motor lol. All that came to mind was turbos and nitrous lol. but now i understand. Messing with the timing of the electric motors is way over my head..least for now

My videos are edited and encoding.

I also have a special request video from Keith Sawyer. I think Danny Sawyer will find it amusing. This is sorta of a sequel to "The Pit" video I made before.

BTW... I don't know if the videos will be out tonight. The encoding and uploading will take 2-3 hours.

The 4wd class is also limited to a 13.5 at this time.

Also, I did not mention how many races you have run in the last 4 years before your win this weekend. There is nothing like that in the description of the video.

Ok guys and gals. The videos will be uploaded soon but they are still processing. I will make them public once they are done and that will be tomorrow.

On a positive note, I plan to get a real camera this week. I plan to also have video of the Loganville All Electric Race this weekend. Depending on where I qualify and how things go, I may need a camera person. If anyone wants to volunteer, PM me and we can talk about it.

on the subjectof motors and esc's...I was wondering if anyone knew if a velineon vxl3s would run a 17.5 motor? if not, any rccomendations on a TT legal set up? I currently have a slash with the velineon system and a outlaw LCG chassis, and box stock SC10. I want to get at least one of them TT legal for the friday night series. I'd rather get an SCT TT legal before putting together a VTA.

Yes. The stock VXL motor is a 3500kv, which is right around a 13.5t. Most guys run a 13.5t at TT. I have seen 13.5t motors range from 2650kv to 3800kv. The VXL3S also has a sensor port to use on sensored (roar legal) race motors.

what i am really leaning towards is to buy a 17.5t brushless motor and drop it into the SC10, hoping that the reedy stock esc will run it ok. that would be the cheapest way out for me
