Maybe you do not use 10.5 on track with little adherence.

you can run ddrs at 7 and below and not lose the supercharger. it helps on the smaller indoor technical tracks, especially with lower heat............

Just now I updated my ESC 2.0 120A with the latest stock FW. In doing the upgrade, I also saw the FW no timing and I got a curiosity. This firmware installed on board make it similar to cirtix?

This question because I saw that many clubs are taking this regulator to achieve a pure stock class. I was wondering if I was in one of the tracks where they run with this ESC, could I participate with my ESC on which I installed the FW in question, or I would be the difference in performance against them (both positive and negative)?

Thanks

At higher heat, i don't mess with the DDRS..never have. Heat is generated through timing. So adjusting timing, how much delay, how much timing per RPM increment all plays a factor, not just DDRS.
But then again...you can tune your esc however you feel makes you fast on the track....

Interesting to see that Marc & Viktor are using stock software this weekend at the ETS. Turbo + Mod

It wouldn't surprise me if they were using the stock software in Mod. It could potentially make the motor run cooler and also faster + you may be able to run a lesser motor like 6.5 instead of 4 turn to make the car smoother to drive but yet have great top speed.

You may have to run no turbo though.

From what I understand, they use the programming on the ESC and motor timing to make a 4.5 be as smooth on the bottom end as a 5.5 or a 6.5, but they still have that top end rip that would be characteristic of the 4.5.

Although, I wouldn't doubt that they are running the V422 software because of the way the track is. Lots of straight shots and sweeping corners. Not a lot of "stop-n-go".
