ESC settings help
 

Can someone please explain what setting do what when using a program box to setup your Esc?
I have a Pro-Perfomance XSC150p running stock 17.5 with a Slot Machine. The Track is small but fast with some 90deg turns.
Car is setup great and handles great but feels slow.
i'm thinking i need to setup the speedo but have no idea what all the settings do such as deadband, ip limiter, drive frequency etc etc.

thanks for any help

Reach out to Brian Mills at Pro Performance. They have many esc setups and are more than willing to share.

ESC settings just change the feel of the power delivery. They won't make a slow car go fast.

If you are slow (and not because you think it is slow, but because you are getting passed on the straights), check that you have the ESC calibrated properly so you are getting full throttle. Then work on your gear ratio and motor timing.

what car? what battery? whats the gearing?

B6.4 with a Trinity 5600 2s 72/30 down to 72/27.

I started the gearing at 72/30 and went down because of motor temp, lots of on/off throttle i think was getting it hot.
I was going to try a 69 spur but didn't have one with the new slipper pad config. I was running a slipper eliminator until this weekend.

If you got the motor over about 170-180deg, especially over 200deg you hurt the rotor (magnets will be weaker) and the motor overall will be slower.

If you got it super hot, or repeatedly hot the wires will start to turn color. And the motors really damaged.

Every 3 teeth on the spur change does the opposite of 1 tooth on the pinion. 3 smaller on spur is like 1 tooth bigger pinion.

Talk to other racers, make sure your gearing is similar, if not at least 1 or 2 teeth lower than theirs. Especially if they have different/stronger/upgraded rotors. Also see if someone can look over your buggy or drive it and see what you can figure out. I very often do that for others as you can read or talk about things but just checking if the transmission is binding or looking for worn parts is better than just guessing.

One thing i havent seen mentioned is Motor Timing. If you have the motor over timed, you can lose a lot of lower end torque, and generate a lot of excess heat.
