Hi, I want to try Speed Passion Competition 3 - 10.5R motor.
I have questions:
1. It has vent holes to help desipitate heat. But will it allow dust
and debris to enter the motor and damage it? Or the dirt wont reach the rotor
and the inside of the stator? or Im better off with the Sportsman range of
motors since it is more protected.
2. Can I rotate the sensor port so it sticks out higher so it wont get disengaged
when its lower and prone to hit things? My car is a T2 2009.
3. If you rotate it by hand, does it has strong resistance like the ones in LRP and Novak? Or is it smooth and light.
Thanks in advance.

I found this on a fluke
In the prototype stages of the 2.0 I noticed my LPF was running really hot (180) on average.
My friends asked where my EPA's were, I said 100% because the 1.1's hated being anything OTHER than 100%.
My buddy Matt jumped my EPA's to 150% on my DX3R and I gained a few things.
1. My temps averaged about 110 degrees after the switch, (from 180ish).
2. I gained a higher top speed
3. the overall feel of the ESC was smoother.
4.My motor temps dropped about 15-30 degrees
5. I had stronger brakes
It was a 110% improvement and honestly it was a fluke that Matty found it

That's unless the ESC was designed to incorporate this feature to register something different than it's output. And in that case; wouldn't it mean if someone had a radio that maxed at 150% vs someone with one that does 120% have different results? Therefore, if you had a 120% radio; you would set your EPA to 80% to calibrate your radio and ESC, then crank it up to 120% to simulate the effect of going from 100% for calibration then cranking it to 150% on a 150% radio?

After calibration increasing the end point just a bit is a good idea seeing some radios dont give a consistant full throttle signal.
But having a large difference as mentioned will give a bit of dead band or a lot if you set at 100% and then make the radio 150%.
I noticed with the KO radios that when calibrating hold full throttle but with light pressure, if you dont then it doesnt see or stay on full throttle a lot of the time.
This was very irratating untill i helped the guys out and told them to increase end point and the hassle went away.
On my SANWA i havent had the issue but my sons Futaba 3pm i set at just below 100% and after calibration i increase to 100%

SpeedPassion GT 2 Recalibrate
Speed Passion Should release new software
to save/Backup/Restore The Firmware,
So we don't need to Recalibrate.

SpeedPassion GT 2 Recalibrate
But
10 Seconds is worth for some people
who would not want to make mistake.
if you change and try around 2 firmware
it would be 20 Seconds worth,
and could be more.
So my suggestion is
Speed Passion Should release new software
add option to save/Backup/Restore The Firmware,
So we don't need to Recalibrate.

You guys are missing the point here.. I think we've already established that we have to re-calibrate the radio after firmware upgrade here.
The issue is why recalibrate it with 100% EPA, then turning up EPA to MAX (ie 120 or 150%) AFTER calibration.

Your option does not make any sense to me, your basically asking SpeedPassion to put more memory room on the esc so that with each firmware change it saves the calibration of the radio is that spot. Well how many times do you think people will change firmwares and then how much memory space will need to made available on the board, then how will you access that memory to restore it to active status. Leave it the way it is and recalibrate. Your asking for more headaches with your request in my opinion. It already takes more than ten seconds to plug the esc into the LCD Programmer and then to your netbook to change the firmware. 4 Button presses and the calibration is done.
