P.S...the feeling of push control vs the radio "sub-trim" setting it going forward is not the same..? I use the radio sub trim setting (set the motor roll forward) on my TC when racing 21.5 class to act as a rolling start(push) kinda effect...I would like to know what are the different between the 2. Thanks.
Hi Solara ,

The feel of the "Push control" is differant because it progressivly gets less , not like using the trim on your radio , with the 12th i like the feel of the progressive off throttle it gives , not just nothing when you close the throttle.

hope this helps a little in the 0 timing class i would like to try this so the car stops less in corners

Thanks...and good to know. I really would like to hear about customer to tell us what they want and why they need that....

I am in the middle testing to drive the RC car with the IPad 2 with cams on....so far, not good. LOL. (The traditional way to drive RC is still the best)

haha that sounds like fun though , i did se a video of some guys racing an F1 car with a radio control on Youtube last year

As for feedback no problems , i would like to see a way of going from my timed speedo setting to 0 timing mode without using the programming box .

I have moved from Tekin speedos this year to Speed passion and so far i am loving it , the feel on the tekin was like a switch you would wait for the boost to come then everything would come , if you were too late on the throttle this would come in too late and you would over shoot the corner , if you were too early on the throttle you would run out of push before the end of the straight . the speed passion isnt like that the feel is great and it is easier to set up using the programming card

Just wondering if there are any distinct advantages to the 528 software over the 422 (cooler motor temps, more boost, anything like that?) or if it's just a personal preference thing. I just installed a GT 2.0 LPF and Trinity Nemesis 17.5 in my car this weekend, and it has the 422 software on it. have not had a chance to hit the track with it yet, but ran it about 8 minutes in the street. Felt great, stoopid fast, temped right at 150, but ambient air temps were only low to mid 80's. In less than 2 months we'll be close to 100 deg F here, so the cooler I can get it to run (and still make mad power) the better.

Stock or Mod Softwear? Or what motor are you planning on running?

Default Comparison

Hi all,

I have a question which I'm hoping someone will be able to answer. Bare in mind that we do run on particularly large tracks over here compared to a lot of US tracks.
Last season I ran a 4.0T (sometimes 3.5T) SP V3 motor on a SP GT2.0 speedo with 422 stock software geared at 8.6 overall.
Settings I ran just about everywhere were as follows:
4.Start mode - level 5
9.Timing - 22.5
12.SC Boost - Level 4
13.SC RPM Delay - 12000
15.SC Punch - -4

Does anyone know what lastest firmware I could run and what settings to start out with to get the same basic performance as 422 so I got a starting point to run so I can then start playing and turning settings up to try.

Hope all this makes sense as I havn't got a clue what the latest firmware settings do or are meant to do as I dont really understand the settings exactly lol

Thanks in advance for your help

Russ

422 Stock and trinity nemesis 17.5, thought that was in my previous post. Might run a 13.5 occasionally, but probably nothing llower in this car.

This one New ..

Push Control is Good idea.
feel like delay decrease throttle on radio
but radio sub-trim is easier on track feel, live adjustment.
but on radio will disturbed by the Drag Brake in esc, and will not effective.

Push Control is best way in esc.

Hi hoping someone could answer this please.

Once AGAIN,

There is nothing wrong with running "stock" software on a "mod" motor.

whatever gear your running on the Mod motor, when switching to stock softward, drop a few teeth on the pinion, and add timinging and boost slowly to get YOUR desired affect. a little common sense goes a long way.

check a few posts above, a guy is running stock software on a 4.0

Hello, I have a GT2.0 LPF and havent updated it since.
I run a LRp x12 13.5 motor bu dont have much idea on which stock software to use, either 212, or 528 ? I cant seem to find the 422 software ...
I still dont have the programing card but im just asking as curiosity and knowledge.
Thanks
