Here is my setup
LRP X12
4 dot timing on motor(-10*)
boost 50
5xxx start
18500end
10 turbo
2ramp
.5 delay
VC 2s
sensored onle
bl forward only with brake
push off
drag br off
brake str 100
rev off
throt min 10
neut width 7
brake min 10
track size is 40by 90 feet.
This is the exact same as i used for 212. Lower speed brakes are fine. But at the end of the straight the brakes are very weak. took me by surprize the first time.
Everything else is very good
The other problem that I am having is that hotwire program dosen't look or work quite right... If I use the up and down arrows to adjust settings it goes to the "curves" screen.I can use the slider just fine tho. Same with selcting sensord only and locked spec. I can't see all the motor type adjustments just the first two letters BL andBR the rest is covered by the setup notes. Same with the turbo delay numbers they are half there
is every one using the full or the expess setup
I have tried both the EXE and the ZIP with the same results
I am useing windows 7. Am I missing somthing with the install or deleting 212
Thanks in advance Randy

Did you recalibrate your radio to the ESC before you changed any settings. I helped a few people out this weekend at the track, and the RS would act funny if you did not calibrate before changing the default settings. I don't know why, but it just would not work correctly. So after playing around a bit, I decided to update again, then disconnect, calibrate, reconnect and adjust. That seemed to be the trick. I thought the brakes were fine. We are running boosted SC and it had more than enough brakes coming off the straights.

Walkmans screen looks much better then mine. I think somthing is corupting my downlaod or install. if this gets fixed I think my brake issue may be fixed
Macdude... I have tried before, and after and also tried a factory reset

Its the same as my interface too,except the FW is half covered by the setup notes.
If I click on the up and down arrows on top and below the sliders it goes to the "curves" page.

If any of you are running the Hotwire app on a mini laptop you should think about installing the tool in "Express mode". This eliminates most of the graphics so the Hotwire dialog takes up less space.

I went from the old software to the new stuff and can honestly say that I could tell a difference before I set the car on the track. Pulling minimal throttle produced a reaction out of the motor compared to the previous versions of software. Maybe ive gone crazy but I think I know what im talking about.

You probably have to run that 21.5 in the 3.5 FDR range maybe lower. I have never run a 21.5 but in 17.5 blinky guys run in the mid to high 3s on a 100 foot straight away track.

If you've been running a Tekin for along time it will take some adjustment, especially with lower turn motors.
Has anyone that's had this software for 3-4 months played with throttle profiles yet? Especially for 17.5 NT TC. I'm curious if deviating from profile 3 (Linear) makes you faster.

Motor temp
Does the motor run any cooler with the 222 software over the 212?
