Anyone using the Speed Passion V3 motors, feeling under powered compared to other similar turn motors?
A am running 11.5T SP V3 with SP 2.0 esc. All settings at max and gearing down to 4.4 FDR. But still slow compared to ORCA & Team Powers 11.5T motors.
Tried adjusting motor timing to max.....did not feel any increase in rpm or power??
Anyone have any feedback or advise to squeeze more juice out of the V3 motor?
Only thing great about the motor is the wiring plugs and damn the motor runs way cool.

Yes...more timing increase RPM, however, that will decrease the torque. Like a power screwdriver, you want to turn it to SLOW (low RPM) to drive a screw into a stud wall, same idea....
You cannot have BOTH at their peak...but you can have both with average power, its about balance...you can have high speed on the straight but losing torque at the turns. Or you can have punch on the infield and OK speed on the staight...for me, I would choose the 2nd choice...each track has more turns then the straight, INFIELD speed makes fast lap time, not the straight line speed...

Well-stated... However, I consider the straights "car breaker."

just try it, these motors have incredible torque, i started my 10.5 at 33mm and ended up at 40mm and it still doesnt get hot. it has heaps of rip and is a gun down the straight. they need to be geared waaaay higher than any other motor

Also, what version of software are you using...? You should use 323a...

i ran two v3 motors, a duo, and a novak. all provided identical lap times at the NEGS race this past weekend. in the end, i liked the sp because it ran cooler. on larger tracks, it may have issues if you're not using an esc that revs late ... but so far, so good.

I started FDR at 5.2...no speed on the straights. So went down tooth by tooth until 4.4 with good punch and decent speed but still not enough to keep up the the other 11.5T with turbo escs.
The motor temp highest was 145F !!! Thats still pretty cool!!
Well, this weekend will try shimming the rotor closer to the sensor then i'll gear even higher...gonna squeeze every ounce of juice out of the V3.
