I have an rx8 with pro 4000. Run on high bite track. Track is 6800sq ft. Not sure if you need some much info but what does timing do and boost? Thanks

yesterday I saw 2 brandnew losi's with the tenshock sc401 5200kv
they can run max 7 minutes before everything thermals out. motor got over 100 degree celcius and 2 brand new nanotech lipo's dead because the plug was melted.

Timing:

Motor Timing can be adjusted in 2 ways with a sensored motor, or in one way if the motor is sensorless. The common way for to adjust timing for both motor types is in the speed control’s software. Users can adjust a value called Timing Advance to increase kV. With a sensored motor, timing can also be adjusted by physically turning the timing ring on the motor.

Boost:

Adjusts the percentage of the timing added, which is applied to the motor based on it‘s RPM.

Hope this helps and make sense.

I just got my new pro4 wired up to the MMP and it is silky smooth and sounds great. But.....it only runs backwards. I swapped 2 of the 3 wires and it coggs and sounds really weird. I then swapped a different two wires and the same thing happened. Any suggestions? Thanks,

The sensor is hooked up and the MMP is in sensor motor mode. I just took a castle motor out and it ran forward.

Got it, I do have the hotwire and few ppl adviced to have it all turned down and seeing ppl here using it makes me want to look into those things. I get what the boost does just need to read up on timing and the performance of it. Thanks

yup yup. It really depend on the track (size, surface, grip) and your driving style.

Thank you both for the info. I did some testing (in the house today) and found it was slipping quite a bit with .5mm showing. I find it a little difficult to tell exactly how much slip I'm getting. I tightened it down so that 2mm is showing It still seems to slip a little (on carpet), but far less. I look forward to trying it out at the track on Wednesday.

Had the same problem on mine, process of elimination got it working but here is a short cut. Red from MMP to A on Motor, White to B and Black to C. That should get you spinning the right direction with no Cogging.

Good luck!

If you have the Wires A/A B/B C/C and it's running backwards. You need to reverse the Motor direction in CastleLINK. Only way.

I do my slipper tuning at the track after they have watered. I put the nut flush and go full throttle and listen for the "squeal" and watch the take of and go in 1 turn incriments from there. After I get my slipper to where I want it, I will normally go 1/2 to 1 full turn tighter before the race depending on the tracks moisture levels. Testing the slipper on the carpet never works IMO. Carpet and rubber tires like ours, not baldies, have great deals of grip.

Thanks for the reply, I am hooked up in that order.

Coyote- what is this about reversing the rotation with the castle link? Not the field link but the usb? I have not hooked the mmp up to the computer yet. Any tips. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks,

Bummer, thought that would do it for you. Hopefully reversing it via the software as Coyote is mentioning will get it working for you. Mine is not reversed (tried that when I was having issues) so I am curious to hear!

USB CastleLINK, there's a motor direction choice. No explaination required. change it to reversed and you're done.

My RTR 4x4 3500 Reedy motor is getting up to 165F 74C. Is that ok/normal to run it at those temps? Its all standard from the box.
