Ok, I'll give it a try but don't know alot about the X12 motor, so what ever you do, check your motor temps every couple minutes.
I'd use the default settings for 17.5/2s for the base and then adjust the following. FDR of 7.5 (temp check) with 2 dot insert. Change the timing set point to 5500, start with timing at 30* and boost on, set the delay to 375ms. use 0 for minimum drive but if you need more puch up this to 1 or 2. Go to the modify setting for a custom curve and select default curve 3. The brake settings are something you'll have to play with a bit, personal preference, but this should get you going.......just watch those temps and if to aggressive out of corners, try to soften the throttle curve and min drive.

Spec mode racing
Anyone try this thing in spec mode yet? I will be running it this way for the first time this weekend. I have changed, my FDR to 3.9 and the motor is only getting in the 120 range so I could probably get down to the 3.5 recommended on the novak site. I did notice that if you are going to run it this way that the endbell timing needs to be cranked or the whole thing seems really slow. Even with a FDR of 3.9. Overall though I am impressed with the amount of rip out of the corners. Turned the drive freq all the way down and that seemed to wake it up a little more too. The track where I race the lap times were pretty consistent when I was running timing. Which seems a little weird as I thought the dynamic timing was suppose to be making a huge difference in lap times. But that's probably due to the size of the track. Bigger the straights the better faster the achievable top speed.
Just wondering if anyone else has put it through its paces in spec mode and had similar results.

ran mine last weekend is spec, ballistic 17.5 motor timing on 40, Mi4lp geared 3.8, esc setting were all at default settings. out ran every one. the car was, well..... BALLISTIC. oh yea and motor temps were only 130, esc was 90. it was a cold day

when you go thru the one step setup it puts it in spec mode. the white light doesn't come on. I'm not sure its an official 'mode' but all the timing and boost is off.

Glad to hear your car was "ballistic". I am hoping that I have a good weekend with it like this.
One less thing to adjust

ROAR spec setting for the Kinetic is boost off with no flashing white led.

With 25 timing perfect setup, ~80 celsius in 5minutes.. today in practise was two tcx with LRP SS spec regs,but my car was fastest. So now I need to learn drive better.
p.s when will be soft for MAC?

Hi!
Can i use the Kinetic 1s without reciver battery? As i understand it delivers 6V and a max at 3Amps of current.
What is the hight of the Kinetic 2S?
Thanks!!

I just set the timing to zero via the novalink. As long as the white LED is out I think your are good to go. All the other settings can still be adjusted. I am running throttle profile 3, and the lowest drive frequency to get a little more punch out of the corners.
Glad to hear your car was "ballistic". I am hoping that I have a good weekend with it like this. One less thing to adjust

One less thing to adjust The top guys running in the spec class were 3.2 FDR. FYI the Novak has way more rip than the Tekin in spec mode. Top speed is about the same but novak was pulling way harder out of the corners. And it was easier to drive.
