I tried gearing at 5.0 tonight and 3,4,7,1 I personally didn't like it, dropping the feel to 2 was better for me as I don't like it punchy. Car didn't feel any quicker infield but looked a bit faster on the straight. Went back to gearing at 6.5 and 3,2,5,0, car was easier to drive for me. Temp was around 60c without a fan. I'll probably try around 5.0 outdoors but for my local indoor track 5.0 is overgeared. The track from LRP masters looks big and flowing ?

"BOOST"
Hi guys.
I cant get my head around the "BOOST" function on my speedy.
I was wondering if someone could inbox me how to set it up for 10.5 class.
I have no idea what im doing with speedy programming.
sorry to be a pain.
Thanks

1/12th, X-12 13.5, four dot motor timing, 65mm rollout. Settings 1,3,6,0. VERY fast or at least that is what I was told. At the end of 8 mins temp was 220. Gonna try dropping a tooth on the pinion and using boost setting of 5.
This is with 4.2, now if I had 4.4 and its 30 degree drop in temp...

Got my second SXX and USB bridge from Stormer today. I don't know how new this batch is, but it was at least new to Stormer since it had just arrived. It shipped with 4.2. So, not sure what the status of units in the US is, but at least in my case, it didn't ship with 4.4.
The upgrade was very easy. LRP's software is the best I've seen for firmware updates in the RC world so far. Worked like a champ using XP running in Parallels on a Mac.

Over revving? Or am i a noob?
Hey so i briefly checked this thread for info on the x12 21.5 and didnt really get much,
So today i ran the NOSRAM version of the sxx stock spec v2 with the x12 21.5 lrp motor in my mi4cx and had the thermal kick in twice running settings 3,2,6,0 FDR 5.28:1 on a flowing open track with the nosram hardcore heatsink and fan, the car was crazy fast (0.35 off 13.5) but thats not the point, now ive been told that over revving the x12 will heat it heaps, is this true?
Is my boost too high?
Am i geared too short?
I saw someone running the 21.5 on settings 0,5,5,0, would this be more suitable?
Also the reccomended FDR of 3.5:1, any one tried it?
Sorry for the essay lol
Thanks for any help

I ran 3,5,5,4 with my X12, 21.5 with a FDR 4.5. I have not had the car thermal, however I only ran for approx 4 minutes and temp was 51C. I run two Yeah racing fans on the motor connected to a speed passion heatsink.
I have since changed to a X11, 21.5 and have different settings. This works really well and does not fade like the X12 does.
I would try adjusting your Boost back to 5 and try a larger pinion and check temps after a minute.
Good luck.

Calvin.

Thanks for the info guys
At the start of the day i fan FDR of 4.7:1 but it felt sluggish, might just add more boost,
Going to update to 4.4 today, i work with one of the australian distributers team drivers so i can get the team software

Yes...the software tool should have installed fine, but driver does not. So, install software first, then go to Device Manager (in Control Panel), right click on the LRP device, select Update Driver Software, select Browse my computer for driver software, click the Browse button and navigate to "C:\Program Files (x86)\LRP\Firmware Update Tool\USB Bridge Driver\win2k_winxp", click Next and you should get a Windows Security popup about not being able to verify the publisher, click Install this driver software anyways. Should work now.

I've been running the New LRP SS V2 Speedo with an X12 13.5 Motor in my Touring Car(Indoor Carpet) for quite some time now & found it Fantastic!
With the right Gearing & Settings I've found it to match the GM & Tekin on Performance(as well as having better low down Grunt & Superior Brakes!), that some of my Mates are running!
The first thing that I'd Recommend Purchasing for this Set-up, is either the LRP Radical or Nosram Hardcore Motor Heatsink/Fan Assembly, as I've found it to knock off around 15-20 Degrees of Temperature........so less chance of Overheating or Fade + allows the Speedo settings to be Increased slightly!
I briefly ran it on the Ver4.2 Software that it came with & found it to be pretty Quick, but I was very Limited on Increasing the 'Feel' & 'Boost' Settings, due to Excessive Heat of the Motor! On Ver4.2, I found that the Optimum/Limit was with the Feel on 2 & the Boost on 5, when it was Geared on the Recommended 6.0 & with 4Dot Timing(-10)on the Motor! This seemed to give very good Performance without any Fade!
Shortly after, I Updated my Speedo to the New 4.4 Software.........which I have to say has made a massive difference! It seems to give the same Performance on the same Settings as Ver4.2, but has Dropped my Motor Temperature down by nearly 30 Degrees!
Updating the Software to Ver4.4 is a 'Must' in my Opinion!!
Its since allowed me to drop my Gearing down to around 5.0 & Increase my 'Feel' & 'Boost' Speedo Settings from 2 & 5 to 3 & 9!........with NO Overheating issues or Fade! Its got Amazing Punch & Top Speed, yet still really Smooth! The way the Temperature is on my Motor, I could probably afford to go even Higher on the Boost Setting!
When using the X12 with the V2 SS Speedo, for best Performance :
1, Always use the X12 with the 4Dot Timing Insert(-10 Degrees)
2, Run a Motor Cooling Fan!(The New LRP & Nosram ones are very good)
3, ALWAYS run the X12 on the Speedo 'ODD' number 'Boost' settings(Slow Mapps).i.e 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 etc
Due to the Nature/High Torque of the X12 Motors, the 'EVEN' numbers(Fast Mapps)i.e 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc on the Boost Setting are'nt Recommended/Suitable!
Hope this helps!

For the final leg, I geared at 5.62:1, put in the 3 dot insert and used 4&7, the car had far more ‘punch’ and .5sec faster per lap! temp was 64c so still not hot. Still have some way to go before getting near a better lap time, next time will try gearing at 6.0:1 and see how it goes.
From my own experience, using the 4 dot insert for best performance wasn't the case, the 3 dot was much better. I would like to try again with the 4 dot insert, but would gear at around 7.0:1 to try and get the motor spooling up faster.

I raced at West London yesterday, which is a medium/large outdoor track and tried running 3,4,7,1 with an X12 13.5 with 4 dot insert, geared at 5.0:1 (Ver 4.4). The car lacked punch and top end, temps were about 54c. Kept the FDR at 5.0:1 and kept mode 1 & 4 at 3 & 1, tried different combinations for 'feel' and 'boost', 3&7, 3&9, 3&11, 4&9, 4&11, each run had the same result, too slow to 'pick up', and temps were about the same.
For the final leg, I geared at 5.62:1, put in the 3 dot insert and used 4&7, the car had far more ‘punch’ and .5sec faster per lap! temp was 64c so still not hot. Still have some way to go before getting near a better lap time, next time will try gearing at 6.0:1 and see how it goes.
