have someone had this problem before?

battery is 5000mA 40c

motor temp about 60-70c

battery is cold

fdr 8.0

Boost: 35
Turbo:10
delay: 0.2

rpm 10.000-30.000

not shure about motor timing but around 15-20 maybe.

So i purchased a speed passion mmm 17.5 motor to replace an old trinity d3 figured id try something new. So i threw it in in replace of my D3 and kept my Tekin RS pro settings the same as my D3 but i left the MMM bell timing mid and took it out for a short spin out front of the house .couple 40 ft ft stretches maybe and did a few turns to feel how the new car set up i put on felt turning then i gave it alitte throttle and hit the brakes and soon as i went from brake to throttle the car made a noise like the belts were slipping but i know from racing for 4 years theres no way i over looked that ,brought the car in the house and messed with it for hours changed sensor wire and stuff like that when i give it just alitte bit of throttle the motor would wistle and seemed like at that point i have some cogging goin on cause when i gave it some more throttle it would just get to a point where it let loose and just luanched so i replaced my receiver and messed witht eh speedo some more took timing out more as well nothing worked . So then i threw my D3 back in a it was fine no cogging no noothing just like i was pre install of the mmm i opend the MMM up and took the sensor board out and had a look and there was 2 small solder points that almost had what i would call a small amount of white on the board around the it self dunno if it was burnt and just need another board or what did i over boost it or i dont know cause i jnow the way a d3 feels when you spinn it compared to an mmm is much much diffrent the mmm is much more bound to the magnet and alot harder to spin. any input on this from someone who has experience with sothing like this let me know what you guys think should i just order a sensor board of send in the whole motor and jsut wait i cant imagine i did anything to cause i wasnt hard on it at all

The esc will run hot...

could you please help us/him with a good start setup? it is not a big track, but it got a 60m straight, and the rest is more or less slow turns.

Motor timed at 0, start with 25 boost, find your gearing. Adjust from there.

Mr Pike what is the normal turn around time for a non-warranty Tekin RS repair??
Thanks

1. Do I still need to calibrate the esc?
2. is Hotwire required to tune Boost?
3. What degree is considered hot for an esc?
thx.

2. Yes.
3. 6 led's and lower is fine, you see the 7th light you should change settings.
