Yes, I'm referring to power caps.

Nick

Hello,
I just received my Rapida Pro.

I've read your posts, read the manual but in order to clarify something. By saying at the manual ".... included capacitor..." it means the green stuff that came with esc, right? It came with 3, how many should I fit to one motor?

Nick

The capacitors that look like corn kernels are noise suppression caps...just REALLY big ones. Your motor should have some installed already.

What caps the manual refers to? Those big green is n't it?

I have the V2 motor. Should I install that big green cap or not?

Nick

I haven't ever used those supplied personally.

V2's have caps installed from the factory internally. There is no need to use the green caps.

the v2 has internal capacitors. i dont use the supplied caps.

First run with the Rapida Pro. It is amazing!!
Guys that said "HELLO" message is great are very right! :)

On Saturday I was setting up my car for the upcoming race. I did not want to loose time with installing/setting the esc so I played my okd one.
At the way back to my house I stopped on another track to see some friends. At that point I started instalkling/setting the esc. I didn't change anything on the car (setup, gearing). Half the battery I played with settings as it came, and the rest with the default P5. The car was flying on the straight, had great punch (although the gearing was wrong!!!), I also noticed a small difference on the puch when using the P5. When I finished the ESC's temp was 50 (come to think of it, is it F or C I must check!?)

next Saturday I'll test it thoroughly.

Very happy so far, the only "problem" is that the cables that it came with are very thin and they were quite hot. Before racing on Saturday I'll change them with thicker (Novak 14 or Orion 14).

inspect all the banana plugs (small one that goes to Escs) as sometimes they did not comes soldered good enough from the factory;)

I would appreciate if someone could explain what the following functions are doing and by changing it's value what effects should I expect!

neutral width:
minimum drive power:
minimum brake power:
neutral brake power:
engine brake:
ensa: energy saving mechanism. You gain more duration
drive frequency:
brake frequency:
neutral frequency:
dash power: Set it less than the Power Limit in order for the first time you hit the throttle to avoid spin!

That way this important information will be in one place for all Keyence users ;)

Thank you

Nick

Mine came without without banana plugs. The cables were direct soldered on the esc

I appreciate the suggestion! :)

keyence v zero extreme...
 

guys...can anyone of you give me tips on how to set-up the keyence v zero exteme. i'm planning to use this esc on 23t racing...

Nick Hi,

Neutral width: In Percentage before the Speedo does something. (Idle Percentage)
Minimum drive power: When the Speedo start does something it will go to that percentage of throttle. (Throttle Acceleration)
Minimum brake power: When the Speedo start does something it will go to that percentage of brake.
Neutral brake power: (Drag brake)
Engine brake: Auto Brake On/off
Ensa: energy saving mechanism. You gain more duration
Drive frequency: Throttle frequency!
Brake frequency: Brake frequency!
Neutral frequency: Frequency of the drag brake.
Dash power: Set it less than the Power Limit in order for the first time you hit the throttle to avoid spin or set it more than the Power Limit in order to start first!

Auto Brake: Does not let the motor roll but engage brake. E.g. if you were at 100% throttle and go to 50% the esc apply brake to the motor until the motor is at 50% power.

The manual of the Speedo needs some good interpretation! Sometimes translation from one language to another is impossible with a lexicon.

You could download the setting manual from http://www.rcingreece.com/index.asp?page=manuals

With help from mindrev

neutral width:In Percentage before the Speedo does something. (Idle Percentage).
minimum drive power: When the Speedo start does something it will go to that percentage of throttle. (Throttle Acceleration)
minimum brake power:When the Speedo start does something it will go to that percentage of brake.
neutral brake power:
engine brake: Auto Brake On/off what's it's purpose?
ensa: energy saving mechanism. You gain more duration
drive frequency:
brake frequency:
neutral frequency:
dash power: Set it less than the Power Limit in order for the first time you hit the throttle to avoid spin!
Auto Brake: Does not let the motor roll but engage brake. E.g. if you were at 100% throttle and go to 50% the esc apply brake to the motor until the motor is at 50% power.

I removed some of you answers Mike because what I want from that list is for someone to understand what is the purpose of a fucntion!
