btw on the new v3 13.5t motors the stock timing at the back comes with the sensor plug in between 0 and 10. what timing would this been? and i noticed that i get the led flashing problem when i run the motor with the sensor plug moved all to the left to 0.

I tried searching but couldn't find it again so I may be a little off, either Shawn or Adam posted a while back saying that the V3 had the same timing at zero as the V2 motors so that is 12 or 14 degrees.

So after having cooked 2 motors in quick succession, can anyone please assist with a good ESC setup for 13.5 sp motor using SP GT2.0 pro esc.
Car is Schumacher Mi3.5
I do not have the LCD programmer just the standard one that came with the ESC.
I dont know why my motors are cooking so easily but I never had issues with my old novak GTB using the first motor. It cooked on 2nd run with SP ESC so purchased new ultrasport SP motor and that cooked too on the 2nd run. So either im doing something completely wrong or i just have really bad luck. ESC settings are currently standard as they came from the factory, car drivetrain is very free running.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated as i have my countries national champs this weekend and really dont want more motors turning to junk.
Thanks

2. Drag Brake force = 20%
3. Low voltage cutoff = none (i changed this to 3v per cell)
4. DRRS Start mode = Level IX (9)
5. Brake force = 75%
6. Reverse force = 25%
7. Initial brake force = 20%
8. Neutral range = 6%
9. AMTS Timing = 15deg
10. Over-heat protection = Enable
Final drive ratio = 5.25 as suggested by the motor sheet.

thanx for the help,
btw on the new v3 13.5t motors the stock timing at the back comes with the sensor plug in between 0 and 10. what timing would this been? and i noticed that i get the led flashing problem when i run the motor with the sensor plug moved all to the left to 0.

You may also find that the sensor interferes with the stator windings! I have disassembled several of these to find the windings won't allow normal range of timing adjustment. Carefully, Very Carefully push the windings outwardly to gain more clearance for the sensor.
On the motor timing degree thing: It Is What It Is
. The best advice I have seen and believe in is this: leave it in the middle, gear for temp/lap-time, drop a tooth, then use motor timing to adjust temp. NOW for U I enstine types, this is for non-ramp-up-non-turbo type speedos like the Speedpassion 1.1 that we are talking about here. Settings on the 1.1...stock...super stock.... Max drrs and timing per Adam way back when this thread 'reappeared'. Drag brake also adds heat.Hope some of this helps

Where did you hear this? It is my understanding there is a new update which should be on the website round the 19th
As yet there is no confirmation as to what this update will include..
Hope you know something new

I would say I would just wait for the SP branded unit. I beleive there are a few for sale on RCtech right now.

I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with the Speed Passion ESC. I put my Mi4 in the A main last weekend running against Tekins and LRP's. There was only .3 of a second between fast laps and a one lap difference from first to last after 6 min. of racing. I can't wait to try out the new 2.1 software.
