What motor timing are you using on your SP Ver 3 17.5R motor?

I have found the 107 software to be the faster than the 110. I am still experimenting with settings, so I will give your setup a go.

Thank you,

Regards,

Calvin.

I have yet to try 10.5....but you can definitely use the 1107 or 1110 software for 10.5 motor. My guess is 5.8 final drive but that is just my guess...use your last final drive from your previously used speedo to start and keep checking on motor temp and speed.

AMTS set at 6, DRRS set at 7....motor timing @ stock.

Can anyone shed some light on whats going on with my motors. I have had 2 ultra sportsman 13.5 motors and both have cooked themselves after only a very short time of having them. The 2nd one cooked yesterday after only the 2nd run from new. I used the suggested gearing that the motor came with and after the first run was temp at 58deg celcius. After 3 mins of my 2nd race, about 3 mins into it the motor suddenly slowed so i pulled off. Temp gun showed 134deg celcius. Cars drivetrain is really free running and the speed control (Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro) was only at 56deg. I really dont know what im doing wrong but its getting really really expensive having to buy motors all the time and quite frankly, 2 motors in such a short time im regretting ever buying speed passion products. Please help

by no means this is an official and detailed comparison analysis of the different speed controls, I have all three of them and tried running them all and ended up staying with SP gear

my motor temps are around 155-160 in the above setup, not sure the temp on the esc but i have the stock sp fan running on it..

Hi guys im new to the site been reading your thread some good stuff about the 2.0 which ive just bought...got the v3 10.5 too!

Right il get to the question... ive bought a hobbywing LCD PROGRAMMER as it looks the same and does the same etc as i cant get hold of a speed passion one anywhere!

It is on there website as i cant post URL yet but the prgram for the pc and box etc all look the same!

It should work with my Sp GT2.0LPF right? Please say yes!

Russ, i am afraid, although they are the same LCD unit, the software in the HW LCD is completely different and will not allow you to install the Speedpassion Software. I made the mistake to try the HW software and once i did it, i could no longer revert back to the Speedpassion stuff. I had to send my LCD box to Speedpassion to get it Re-Flashed. Big pain in the you know what...:flaming::flaming::flaming:

Basically all I have done is Flash the LCD Programmer with the Speed Passion Ver 1.32 Software, funnily enough, as soon as you do this the start up welcome screen on the programmer then reads Speed Passion V1.02??

Since Charlie has already experienced a failure on an LCD programmer by using the incorrect software I think he has every right to forewarn people.

Here you go, yes it works........

Charlie you either need to read peoples posts properly or you need to stop trying to mislead people. As discussed before am willing to stay quiet for the sake of the SP 'Brand' but lets not mislead people eh?
