Tekin RS ESC sensored
#3211
There is no boost 11-100, that would be timing when running in Dual mode. I have found dual mode to have less top end in any wind 10.5 and slower. If you have one of the more current versions software 189 or 194, check the box marked Sensored, the timing slider will change to Boost (0-30), if the motor is at 0, set boost to max, you should be a rocket then. Only run for a minute or so to start so to check motor temp.
I now have the sensored box marked and full boost at the moment. I'll test this out later.
Thanks

But now that you say 4.55 for FDR in VTA Im getting a little concerned. At 4.6 I was getting blown away on the straight (far more then a .05 FDR difference would make). I'm going to have to look into what is going on. No binding or anything in the car (its shaft drive, tires spin forever).
If my math is right for your DUO motor you are running a 52MM rollout (2.05in)?? Does that sound correct. That would be about a 3.84 FDR with rubber tires. Perhaps I was undergeared rather then overgeared if my math is correct.

I'll still need to experiement though since I had the Tekin 21.5 in my car. I'm going to wait on getting a Novak until next fall since Randy is allowing the Tekin in his VTA class. Not sure how the Novak and Tekin gears should be relative to each other.
I may put the DUO back in my car and compare to the Redline 17.5 as well. Im a lot more familar with the DUO.

Ok, I have sensored checked and boost set to max. I am noticing very little difference if any. Is this boost suppose to be VERY noticeable? My temps also did not change after a min or two of full throttle pulls.

I noticed an immediate change in max RPM once I dialed in some boost, even more apparent on track.
What motor, motor timing, gearing and class are you running?
#3221
I'm just running it up and down my street/shop. Here is my setup:
tc4
tekin rs
losi xceleron 17.5 (afaik the motor is 0 degrees and not adjustable)
75t spur 50t pinion 3.75 FDR (losi recommends 3.8)
plan to race on road electric 1/10th TC

All these timing tricks don't seem to benefit some groups as much as others. If you're running a pan car, or on a giant track, it seems to help. With sedans on smaller tracks? All I'm seeing is heat, late-race fade and burned up motors. In general, the whole thing seems hugely overstated.

Adam,
If you're overtimed you're going to create too much heat period. For a short track you should be running less timing in general. Less timing gives you more torque. Try setting up yours with 20 on the boost and 0 motor timing.
Other things to try are a setup with say 10 on the motor and 20 on the boost. Anytime you change your timing setting you MUST be prepaired to regear your car.

You can't just show up. I expect to see you tuning and tweaking, never getting a break until the last main is run Mo doesn't need the help so that means extra attention to everyone else Man this rain has me talking out my..................I can't say that on the net
