Just some quick Q's for the SP guru's.......
Is there new software being developed which will have a "boost" style function of ramping up timing at full throttle as this is all the rage at the moment in the top line speedies?
What are the differences between the new line of SP mod motors and the older 2.0 series?
Cheers.

(2) However, a little bit is known about the Tekin ESC functions and you should be able to relate these to the SP. In Tekin speak there are the "Boost" & "Turbo" functions.
(a) The boost algorithm looks at throttle position, motor current draw, and time (not rpm). Now, if throttle is at maximum AND current draw has lowered AND a small time period has elapsed THEN "intellegently" advance the timing up to the user selection (maximum of 30 degrees). When these conditions have not been met, don't advance the timing.
(b) The "turbo" function is applied after the boost function has been in continuous effect for some user defined period (minimum of 0.5 seconds). Turbo adds extra timing on TOP of the boost timing advance (about an additional 20 degrees max). This only works on tracks with a large-ish straight. The turbo function is only officially available to team drivers at present (soon to be released to public).
(3) Most modern speedies will use an equivalent dynamic timing advance function (SPX has profiles 7 & 8, SP has AMTS, Tekin has boost). Turbo might only be a Tekin thingy (at least at present). Hard to say. But if the speedy firmware is upgradeable (SPX is not), it is likely manufacturers will want to remain competitive.
Hope this helps

Team Wave RB50 and KO's BMC too...
Hopefully we get this "turbo timing" soon...

There is no obvious reason why any other upgradeable speedy (eg: SP) could not implement a few new tricks.
The SP (aka HW) PC Software and LCD programming box are truely excellent, especially when compared to another programmable speedy that I own.

What are the logics behind AMTS?

Ive seen the pics of the mod 3.0 motors.
Wasnt expecting stock ones so soon.
