It means that your esc passed in sensorless mode.Very common case on SP and HW speedos.Since you're running a 4.0T motor you cannot feel any difference in performance.But if you run a stock motor with the stock supercharged softwares and for some reason your speedo turns to sensorless you'll see a dramatic performance decrease.And im not so sure if it's always a sensor cable or a sensor issue.

I need some help. I am running a XeRun 13.5 (2,500kv) motor and SP 422 firmware with an FDR of 7.31 which seems perfect for my medium asphalt track as I hit full speed right at the end of the straight. My motor temp hit 205*F after 5 minutes and the outside air temp was around 75*F. I need it to run cooler, but how??? I thought I was already running conservative settings on my ESC.
My ESC settings are:
4/ 8
9/ 7
12/ 7
13/ 4
14/ 5
15/5
The car seems good all around with speed and braking, but the motor gets waaaay too hot! Please help!

I have a GT2.0 with a matching Speed Passion Competition 3.0 motor (4.0 wind).
Does anybody else notice a very metallic sounding, "pinging" sound under load? Everytime I grab throttle, i can't help focusing in on that sound. Other than that, the combo runs superbly.
Anyone else notice this, or is my stuff acting up?

My motor has locked timing at 0*. I took my car out to a flat parking lot and ran some "speed runs" with the settings listed above. My car was still accelerating after about 120 feet which is longer than any straightaway on my tracks around me. If I do run a taller FDR, wouldn't it get more speed that I can't use on a track and theoretically put more stress on the motor and raise temps since I race on more technical tracks? I am just asking as I am new to this "timing advance" stuff. I do have enough gears to go from 5.0-8.0 FDR. I have tried 6.5 FDR or so and temps were just as high. I thought gearing higher would make it better, but I guess not.

Gear it a 6.8
I also recommend getting a fan on your motor.

Hi! I just want to know, with that motor turn (13.5T / 2500KV) and with the recommended settings, what is the expected final RPM of the motor after the supercharge has kicked in?

Hey,
I'm new to speedpassion gear so I have a couple of questions:
- I couldn't find any technical spec regarding dimensions and weight of the new SP Gt2.1 ProStock. Does someone of you know it?? Or are does specifications the same as of GT2.0 ??
Is it possible to run it with SP V3.0 13.5T + boost level about 5/6 + without fan on ESC/ Motor without issues?
Does the newest Software (422) keep up with the LRP sxx Stock Spec ESC??
Thx

--> It's so hard to choose between the LRP SXX SS and SP GT2.1 , I would appreciate if someone could answer my question. (Price is nearly the same - with LCD Card of course)

Ok, I though 422 is at least the newest available - which one is the newest and when will it be downloadable?
then only 3 Questions about SP GT2.1 remaining:
dimension ??
weight ?? (not that important, but interesting)
Running boost without Fan (ESC/Motor) ??

Hi,
Is there really any difference between the HobbyWing ESC and SP ESC. If they are both the same, what's the equivalent of the SP GT 2.1 model in Hobbywing. One last question if they are the same, can we load the SP software into the Hobbywing ESC? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am getting so frustrated with this thing and I am ready to just go back to "standard" software and race in the RCGT class instead. It seems that I make one small change at a time and nothing helps. I will try changing the numbers you said, lower my FDR a little, and check it out. It is weird that temps were the same when running a 6.5FDR and a 7.31FDR with the same ESC settings. Since I am running circles around all the Tekin's at the track, I can afford to slow it down a bit by taking some of the turbo out to lower temps...

Josh Cyrul put it back together for me at the Reedy... i'm kind of paranoid that if i pull it apart it wont go back together the same.
I'm usually not like that, but i got kinda frazzled because when I went up to Rheinard to ask him about putting my motor back together he shrugged and explained that he doesnt know how because he never takes them apart, haha.
I'll check it out though, thx.
