I am not sure what ESC you run but I run 70% Punch Control on the Monster and believe that guys that run the Tekin are opposite--just because of software. I think they run 30 - 40% on current limiter. Just to be clear, you dial out most of the current.

What was originally recommended from me is if you have it at 100% try 50% to start. I can almost guarantee you will be faster (do not tell your buddies). And go from there . . .

I usually run the EPA at 90% but that is just me and is fitting for most of my tracks. Words!

Good deal. Enjoy and have some fun! I added to my post and am not sure you have seen it. Try 50% to start and you will see what I mean . . .

i will have less wheel spin and heat build up in the esc and motor,

dangerwr

Certainly will have less wheel spin! And yes, scientifically speaking, if I may, wheel spin generates losses so you might run a little cooler. Your buggy will be a little more efficient so run times could improve. That is all I gots!

have u use jconcepts subcultures??

dangerwr

Absolutely! Love those tires when the track is sort of a mixed condition. If you race at night a lot and there is water I would personally try the AKA Impacts. Maybe even the JConcepts Hybrids but all depends on your track conditions.

i got all them but the hybrids the track in the video starts off dry then when the sun goings down wet, moist loamy dirt!!!! the impacts do ok but for me not enuff side bite?? then the loam builds up then forward bite fades, city blocks have everything even in the heavy loam but in the race grove they get kinda wierd? that is why i want to the subcultures.

dangerwr

Yup. Time for the soft Subcultures . . .

They are similar to the City Blocks but have a rounded profile (carcass) and have better handling through the groove. I think the intent of the tire gives you the best of both worlds. Problem is that they wear fairly quick and once the first set of pins are gone . . . They are poop.

whats the C rating you guys are using?

dangerwr

iTrader: (5)

120C but make sure they are at least rated 60C. As far as LiPo cells go there is no true "C" cell rating. There is absolutely no true requirement to obtain a "C' rating at a manufacturer. This is simply a marketing component that some use as a guise for one-up-manship. Gens Ace seem to be popular. I use expensive MaxAmps as they warranty their product. At the end of the day all cells come from 3 suppliers located somewhere near Korea . . .

I run 5000 40c 4s batt no probs no puffing and thats with a tekin 2250vk motor yes i know too much power.

Many people around here use the 30c 4s Hobbyking batteries with no problems. Everyone has their current limit turned down anyway, so C rating isn't as crucial.
