I recommend starting at about 5.5. Keep in mind, a bigger spur will give your more drag brake and more acceleration. A smaller spur will give you less drag brake and a more linear acceleration.
This software is pretty versatile. You will find you can adjust this to your driving needs.
Best of Luck!

Keep in mind if you are willing to use latest Software version,
before installing or uninstalling the software :
1) you must be administrator no matter XP or Vista you are using.
2) you must use the same last software to change the firmware first to the
basic firmware , ex: change it into 205g firmware first (back to old).
then :
3) install or uninstall the software ( PC Interface ).
4) install the new or latest Software (PC Interface).
5) "Upgrade" Esc, into the latest firmware ex: 422 or 323 Firmware.
above steps is a must if you are changing the PC Interface to detect your Firmware ESC or LCD Programmer, as Old Firmware.
it's never fail and quite safe and succeed.
hope it will help a lots.

so with a 13.5t and 422 software you recommend starting at 5.5 FDR and everything on default settings ?

5,5 FDR is in my opinion to low, now I use 8 FDR with 230 i used 8.6, it does run a little colder now but better to have 15C as a safty margin then burning your motor in my opinion

Hi guys, has anyone else experienced problems with the mod 205
software on v1.33 or has it been that one incident on last page.. Mine seems ok but if other people have had probs with it I'll install v1.32 again and use the old version, as when I run it at weekend I won't have the option to change it trackside
mine appears to be fine, but that earlier post bout it has made me doubt it

guys, take my word for it.....if you run a high fdr, i strongly advise you to go down to your local electronics parts store, buy a 40 mm, 5 volt fan, and wire it directly into your battery. attach it to your car's motor, either directly or on a heat sink. that way you have peace of mind and you won't overheat your motor. believe me, it works.....

It ran about 30C cooler with 422 compared to 230 with same settings and for sure if I had started on 5,5 I would have blown my motor for sure

Well just an update .............. still cannot get the speedo to rev up above about half throttle after updating it to 205 mod !!
I have recalibrated the transmitter numerous times.
Irgo I cannot roll back the software to original because when I try to use 1.32 to put it back to 205g a warning message comes up and says "cannot upgrade 205mod to 205g or 323"
I am sooooo stuck I feel like hitting speedo and program card with a hammer!!!
Total frustration here.
Looking like I will be sending it back to China !!!

I found rolling back to HW software was easier to do than SP software.
When i had a hassle i rolled back to HW V1.5 and then reinstalled SP1.32 .
