Are there any team drivers running the RS in on-road mod?

Just wondering what settings they are using. The low suggested timing is good for me in that it limits the power, however, for better mod drivers who want all the power they can get, im wondering what the ideal setup is....

Me too, there is a lot of stock info around but not enough on mod. So Jeff or anyone else, could you give us mod racers a little push in the right direction?
Thanks

In 5-cell mod I've been told to run the 3.5T at 95% timing... Haven't had the time to try it yet but i'd suggest you try increasing to around 80% and see what you get.

Ouch 95% Is anyone able to confirm that, as we run 5 cell in Australia at the moment.

By Tekin specs, it with wires. Could be less, depending on your layout of wire. Specs are taking from Tekin websight of standard weight of ESC.

We haev an RS forum running on our site that the team drivers are posting there setups.

Jaosn Moberly runs the RS Pro in Mod. He's a factory AE driver and runs strapped. I'm sure he'll post his setup soon.

Most guys that run the RS in mod are running it in dual mode and adjust the timing to fit there power needs. More timing gives more rpm's and top end rip. Less timing will get you more torque and will require a gearing change for the same top end.

Those of you that are running it, where are your current settings? What are you looking for in performance gains? Top end? Bottom End?

We all know that but the question asked was the weight without the wires hence us weighting our units.

Randy, unless Jason runs 5-cell mod then I seriously doubt he'll be of any help, as removing one cell makes a really big difference on how the speedo performs, especially in dual mode.

I've seen the same question posted there as here about Jeff Cuffs' 13.5T profile and haven't seen a solid answer yet. Maybe I'm just too dense to understand so maybe someone could really spell it out. I know others are wondering as well. Here goes:

Sensored only mode
90% timing

throttle profile 5
drag brake 50
brake strength 60
What's up with "Sensored Only" and "90% timing"?? Aren't these mutually exclusive? I'm trying to take this thing racing this weekend and will have the Hotwire on hand, but would like a good starting point.

So should we ignore the "Sensored Only" suggestion above? Or is that just for mod?

It would be nice to have some good general "start here and tune to suit" profiles for various motors and configurations. Personally, I'm running 13.5 TC, rubber, asphalt.

Thanks! Not trying to sound snarky. Just confused.

My personal recomendations for guys running TC 13.5/10.5 would be to start out in sensored only, max motor timing and adjust MOTOR timing from there. The timing bar on the Hotwire only affects the timing while in dual mode. In sensored only it's negated.

In mod, the timing being that far advanced isn't a great thing. It's a motor by motor basis but we've found that too much timing simply creates heat. So that's where a setup like MO's works best. However if you're using 5 cell I'd recomend Sensored only mode similiar to the 13.5/10.5 due to the lower voltages.

General mod setup for 6 cell could be say a 4T using 70 on the timing bar. The motor timing isn't utilized at all in dual mode so where it's set won't matter.

Things like throttle profiles is a user decided option. I prefer mine to be very linear(TP 3) but Jeff has his set to be quite agressive using TP 5.

Here's the RS thread:

The Redline sensored motors are in stock at Stormer. I just ordered mine...can't wait!
