If you are bashing...I think you should stick with the 205G software cause that software does not have BOOST/Supercharger feature like the one that you loaded (110119mod)....the 110119mod is for full race condition that required alot more complicated setting...if not handle right, yes, you can blow up the motor and esc easily.
You should turn DOWN the AMTS timing within the 205g just to play safe....check motor temp and increase your timing and gearing if temperature allow you do so.

Checked if everything was working properly by holding my SCT of the table and giving it short blips of the trigger forward and brake and everything works, however I noticed the LED was flashing green at the neutral position afterwards. I just read the manual a few minutes ago and it states:
LED Status for Normal Running
In normal use, if the throttle is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED will be lit.The red LED lights up when the car is run forward or backward and it will flash quickly when the car is braking.
The green LED lights up when the throttle stick is moved to full throttle or full brakes/reverse.
I also checked my TX throttle and brake settings and everything checks out. Not sure if the flashing LED at neutral position is normal.

Uploaded the default 205MOD software and went with 15 for the AMTS timing (default setting is 26.25) as you suggested and recalibrated my TX settings with the ESC as we should normally do.

With that said, has the sensor wire gone bad? Will try again with another new sensor wire if that will fix it and if not I'll look into the sensor board which I hope won't need replacing.

You are running BOOST or no timing..? Please specify...
If you are running boost...good luck, I hate that class cause it will have 100 setup just for the software and the motor.
If you are running no timing...great. Max it to 20* (full right) and gear at 4.5 and check temp....I am sure you can keep gearing up til 4.0 or even higher, depends on the size of the track.

our track is large we run any where from 4.3-4.1 fdr

Tried the other default MOD profiles (100528 and 110119) and the funny thing is.....I don't get the flashing green LED @ neutral anymore. Don't know why. Current motor I have is the Silver Arrow V2.0 5.5R and my lipo pack is a Gens Ace hardcase 7.4 2S 5000mah 40c.
Current MOD profile on my ESC is the 110119 that I will use when I go to the park bashing with my daughter later this week but need to know what to adjust so I don't blow up my ESC/MOTOR.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

I have a newb motor question I hope some one here can help me with. I am running a stock class with a 17.5 MMM motor at only 4.8 FDR. At the first 3 min of the race the car runs great. But the power starts to fade after the 3 min mark. It's not going extremely slow or anything like that. It's just lost the "bursty" feeling that it had at the start of the race.
I checked the temperature after the race it was around 140F. So I don't think it's overheating. I am using a 25c lipo battery and a tekin RS. both seems to be running at normal temperature.
I am not sure what is causing the loss of speed. And I can't begin to fix the problem without knowing what the problem is. I am not even sure if it is a motor issue. I am just trying my luck here on the SP forum. Anyone here has experienced similar situation?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
