dsyed1,
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.

if you feel you still need more power and are temping below 155-160F then go to 26 degrees on esc

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
What S/W?
What Gearing?
What kind of Car?
indoor/outdoor?
I wouldn't trash the the motors until you actually post a reason why you have 2 blown motors

dsyed1,
Thank you for the info. I have been running max timing in the speedo and mid on the motor witha FDR of 5.18.
I will try more timing before changing the gearing.

i am racing in the 17.5 class so everyone runs 17.5 from one brand or another, people are running anything from a duo, duo2, lrp x12, novak and speed passion v2 and v3 motors, but speedos are mostly either tekin or spx also most folks here are using similar 40c to 50c type lipo batteries as well
So far Turbo realy great, yes ?
your comparison details is very useful,
too bad miss the esc temps
So Turbo is fast, i believe Speed Passion
must improve something on this.

Speed Passion - Hobbywing? LCD
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...
He is not Using HW Software on SpeedPassion LCD but
he is using HW LCD and running SP Software, that will work.

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?

I don't think it's a case of misleading people, people just need to realize that if they happen to brick there LCD programmer or ESC because the incorrect software was used then it's all on them and they will have no right to come on here and ask Speed Passion "BUT WHY ?"
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.

So far the only LCD units that have gone tits up are the SP ones, the HW ones can rotate back and forth as often as you like, intentional hobbling anyone?
If like us here in the UK, you are UNABLE to buy the SP ones as the Distibutor doesn't have them, AND there IS a guy here selling HW ones for £20 then we are going to HAVE to buy and use the Hobbywing one.
It just beggars belief the way that Americans think that the rest of the world just doesn't exist lol (unless it's got oil of course lol)

Dont really see what benefit its going to bring if there is going to be damage done to poeples programmers or esc's. Most likely scenario is bad publicity for not only SP but HW too.
Have to agree with Cherry the hassles has been with SP programmers but it must have been due to smome other hassles seeing i have been changing back and forth for a while with my SP programmer and have had no issues.

Gearing was 5.25

Outdoor smooth medium grip asphalt.
As for a reason why i have 2 blown motors, I wouldnt have a clue. Up until November last year i ran a Novak GTB with SS13.5 motor running 4.5FDR without any issues. Thought i was upgrading by buying th SP GT2.0 and SP 13.5 motor. First GT2.0 was faulty and SP replaced it immediately as it never worked properly, and now my motor issues. What else can i say, it must just be my bad luck
