It can be many things and the software is just one of the many different things it could be. Bas sensor wire, bad board or board starting to go bad in the motor, battery not up to the task, way over timed are just a few. Try an earlier software again and see if it stops the problem. Then put the newest firmware in and use the same timing settings and power settings as before and see what happens. Might need to try different motors if you have them just to see.

Here's my settings :
1. Punch control disabled
2. Torque limit disabled
3. Start power low
4. Cheat timing boost 35 degrees
5. Cheat activation range 8000 - 9200 rpm
with new 13.5 Ballistic

I tried firmware 1.26 and it worked fine. With ver. 1.28 the motor glitches low rev's with the same settings.

I would look at your end bell timing. Set it back at N and see if that helps. Or if it is already on N take it to the first hash mark.
Next I would unplug the sensor cable from the speed control and run the motor in sensorless mode. If this runs smooth then plug the cable back in and try again.
If this does not work recalibrate the speed control to the radio.
Turn off timing boost and see what happens.
I would also try increasing your BEC voltage to 6.0 v. The default is 5.5V which I think is too low for most 2.4 systems.
Like others have said I have not seen any glitchiness, with any of my motors on this version.
I find this version of the software to generally be the smoothest I have seen so far. I am currently running it in a TC, SC, Stadium Truck, and an 8th scale buggy. All four upgraded with out a problem.
Hope this helps.

Can the mmp run properly even if one of the caps have fallen off?

It suffers on long straight tracks at this time without having the secondary timing or turbo like many call it but that will be the next update for Castle so it will be competitive on all tracks as soon as the new timing software comes out. Right now on small and medium tracks keeping up isn't a problem at all as what I loose on a straight with the extra punch the Castle has in the infield I have make up the time in that area.
With any speedo you can update the software the companies will always be working on software to make them do more overall and go faster.

I am running both a ballistic 17.5 and the older SS 17.5 from novak. Neither is having a problem.

I unplugged the sensor cable from the speed control and ran the motor in sensorless mode. I then plugged the cable back in and tried again. No more glitching.
Thanx a lot Matt...much appreciated.

Hi all,
I am rather new with this great esc and I am trying to understand the CHEAT mode and having to give up a min and max RPM's. I selected 30o and the default RPM settings, but after reading some reactions on this thread, I understand it is betting to change this.
I have a 13.5 turns Graupner motor max 18.200 RPM. Xray T2 and a gear ratio of 7.5. What is de best setting on a medium track for a beginning driver?
tnx
ps sorry for my English (I am dutch)

Did anybody do the Kv test already? I did and the result I got for my Speed Passion 13.5R Competition V3.0 was 2817 Kv.
Our stock drivers go around with a 3000Kv, a set with the SP stock ECS. Now it looks like they have the better motor
