Yes

Can someone elaborate on this? I just got my SP esc, and I thought that setting the timing to 0 with the box, was good enough to set into blinky mode.

Thanks

Hey fellas,

Does anyone have a manual for the old Exige 1.1 ESC?
Recently got one with a bunch of other stuff and trying to see if it works, it just beeps.

To get it to blink so it's legal for "blinky" class you have to download the software from SP to a PC then use the USB connection through the LCD box to install it in the speed control.

What has happened my friend is you have run smack dab head first into the problem of customer information and lack of marketing in my opinion. The box that comes with your speedo only allows you to manipulate the software already installed on the esc. The other box which is sold seperately is used to interface your speedo with your computer so you can use SpeedPassion software to change the software on the speedy to the blink software that makes the speedo led blink so you and the tech person at the track know you can race in the blinky class whatever motor it is your running.

This happened to me as well and to a lot of other people to. Would be nice if they FINALLY updated the website or esc information so you can know that you need another product in order to upgrade the speedo firmware. Would be nice..

This is the reason that I got rid of my Tekins.....

Does this new box come with a cable?

The speed passion box does come with the usb cable. Are you telling me the Tekin Hotwire does not come with the usb cable?

Hi was wondering can you use the Hobbywing LCD program box to upgrade the Speed Passion GT2.0, Sorry for the question but very new to the electric side.....

I ran the 2.1 Prostock on Sunday in 13.5 TC and have a couple of questions.

I was geared at 7.48 FDR and the motor came off 72C max. The ambient temps were cold all day (around 10C) so this may have been a little warm.

My main question is for the attached setup and track which is approx 40m x 30m do I need to gear lower 7.73 or 7.99? Acceleration could have been better and my lap times did get better when I geared down to 7.48 from 7.2.

I wonder if it is down to the turbo kicking in as I accelerate hard out of some of the corners at full throttle that is bogging down the acceleration.

Has anyone tried setting timing to 64 and just setting a very high boost timing acceleration value? I was wondering if it would be better to rely on the RPM of the motor to set the timing rather than holding full throttle? If I used say 700RPM/Deg that would mean 64 timing would be applied at 49800 RPM rather than when I hold full throttle for a period of time?

Try this:
5.8 fdr 7 can timing
36 boost, 300acc, 4k start rpm
24 turbo, 24 slope, delay off

I took this from this indoor race they had in china, it was for another esc but it translates well into sp since their max timing is 64 on the esc as well. Just remember to temp every 2 mins.

Will the Reventon S run stock supercharger firmware or is it blinky only?

Yes you can, and it would also work with a Orion LCD box, since the unit is just a link between PC and ESC when all three are connected.
When using the PC software, you can change the ESC firmware, and change settings in the three profile with any LCD Box.

Thanks for the reply FFred greatly appreciated.....

I was at the exact same meeting yesterday running 13.5. I dont know if im over geared or what. I was running a Reedy 13.5 at 40 timing on the endbell at 6.4FDR. Running the same speedo as yourself and the same software. We was running at 48 and 16 with the slop setting at 30/0.1s, 0.2s and 400rpm/deg. Running that the motor came off around 75 deg

It does, that's not what I meant.

I was hoping to not have to use a PC interface, to just run blinky.
