Did you update the box and speed control as we have explain to you in the last two pages? I think that will fix all your issues, and then you can do all the adjustments to the speedo with the box.

You aren't bugging. We are all here to help. I think your problem is simply that the programming box and the speedo have different versions of software on each, so they can't communicate with each other properly.

Cain, if you upgrade the speedo to the 323_Stock software, the stock LED programming box that comes with the speedo will not work any longer. The speedo will only work with the optional LCD programmer with the new softwares.

My lcd box works good for making changes now. I believe everything is up to date. There was a huge list of software options .. I just picked all the stuff that was in the link a couple pages back lol. I don't know the difference between all of them.

if your running stock the 323 software or the 528 software between us stock drivers here we now go between the 2 i have found the 323 a lot smoother the 528 is very good also Patto here is australia spent a day assisting us getting our cars up to speed as we were having some minor issues with top speed the end result was the 528 for our track it lays down the power all through the range with incredible top end speed at the end of the straight while maintaing good temps 70 degrees after 6 minutes.

Oh wow , I didn't realize they where that different. I thought just the options where different. Like the boost increase steps and stuff like that. Im sure ill catch on a learn all this different stuff and learn to love this esc setup. Im still not 100%the the effects of all the settings. Is there possibly a break down on the website?

if you using the 323 software on the interface V1.37 go to the help and look at the the firm ware manual and in a addition to this M-Technic done a great write up on the software in more details which goes into it and clears things up a whole lot more.
really no need to be a brain surgeon now to understand it i save a copy here it is to assist you also with these 2 at your side while making adjustments it will make it easier for you

M-Technic if you ever feel the need to explain things more please feel free to do another write up you explain things very well and easy to understand

Default Rotor Play

I just picked up a new 4.5 MMM and noticed there was about 2mm of play in the rotor/shaft. Is this normal? I don't have that amount of play on my V3.0 6.5.

I have some motor shims if I need to shim it but I'm not entirely sure how to "center" the rotor because the magnets don't seem to be pushing it to any natural static position.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Just received a V3 1 cell in the mail today.... Very nice looking motor, strong magnet and light!

However, a quick once over showed solder splatter on the windings.... I'm about to disassemble the motor and have a closer look. Probably worth looking out for if your buying any motor really. I'll removethe solder and see how it goes...

Anyone else had this issue?

Just got home from the DHI Cup in Odense, Denmark, running SuperStock 17.5T boosted LRP X12. I posted my starting setup a couple of pages back, but I wanted to share my setup from the DHI Cup. The track was very high traction and very high speed = a lot on the throttle. So I had to change the setup slightly.

I upped the start RPM from 4k to 5k and upped the acc from 350-400 to 450. Finally I lowered the turbo from 12 to 10.
