really? I've been running 5.5T and 4.5T fine on a 120A with 930 no issues, voltage protection is on at 3.2v/cell... Can run for ten minutes with decent of levels of boost and turbo on both motors.

It seems like its your batteries as to be honest you need atleast a 50c true value to run 3.5t motors as the current draw on a 3.5t is massive.or else something is dragging that pack down very quickly but im sure its the battery

yes correct especially soldering of the pack

Depends on the software...

On 119, turbo will kick in after you've hit the throttle delay, regardless of where the additional timing is in relation to boost.
On 211/930 turbo will only kick in after the throttle delay and all the boost timing has been added.

In terms of slope, no, this isn't altered... as it is added in (for both turbo and boost) in relation to other factors.
Boost is added in steps per rpm, (step/rpm) turbo in steps per tenth of a second (step/0.1s). So the rate of addition of boost will be the same regardless of when it kicks in.

However, if you use less boost, then (assuming you've used up all the boost timing by the time the throttle delay hits), then the turbo will come in a little earlier.

How does the combo work with this software, quick? Any issues? Any settings will be helpful:)

Yep, LRP X12 => Firmware 101224_STOCK.

Keep roll-out / FDR as suggested by LRP.
Many people say/think, because the X12 is a high timing motor that it should scream, but in fact you should gear it a bit heavier then other motors, because it has a lot of bottom power!....
In 12th scale 10.5T I drive 44mm
In 12th scale 13.5T I drive 53mm....

Should have said, using 211.
At the mo I have;
Slope 18
Boost 30
Turbo 30
Turbo delay off
Turbo punch 200
I want the turbo to come in earlier because of the length of our straight, about 25 meters, so i was going to turn down the boost and up the turbo?

Im sure you have read our post wrong as Hobbywing hasn't claimed anything of the sort or the signal from the X12 as not being strong what we said was that because of the very high currents generated by the x12 and the position of the rotor to the sensor board it interferes with the sensor signal thus causing the esc to switch to sensorless mode .What hobbywing did to fix the issue was reduce the sensativity of the esc so its doesnt go into error so easy thats all that was done now i have received emails from x12 users that who have shimmed there motors and using there new software with no issues .

Your issue is your motor running backwards when you apply the brakes and when you spin around it rolls backwards it goes into error .I suggest you recal your radio as from what your telling me i cant see it being a software issue related to the esc .

Please email me or skype me or even msn and we can work through it even on video conference like i do with so many hobbywing users .

With that setup, you could do two things... lower the amount of boost, or bring the boost in faster. Either will get the turbo kicking in quicker.

Other option, is to try 119 software, as then the turbo is independent of the boost.

I've got the boost timing starting at 5 thousand already. I thought that was pretty low!

when i was running x12 13.5t 6k was alot better than 5k

I'm running GM 10.5 but it doesn't make sense to me to put the start point back when I want it all to come in earlier?

adding timing to early is not always a good thing.
Because the X12 with the 4 dots insert is already om 27.5 (thank you Manson) degree of timing, maybe a later boost start RPM will actually give you more performance.....
Let the punch setting of the ESC do it's work before starting to add boost timing.....

Now I don't know the set timing of your GM, but maybe it's around the same as the LRP?
It's worth a try, or not?
A fellow racer is stopped running with his GM motor, because it started running sensorless or something like that, I didn't really spend time to try and help to solve his problem, but maybe he was also giving to much timing to fast.....

4 dot on lrp = 27.5, not 37

HW Extreme Stock or HW 120A 1S
 

I want to race WGT 1S LiPo 10.5t
What HW esc best to use.
HW 120A 1S seems to be the obvious choice. But it is a bit heavy.
Would the HW Extreme Stock work? Knowing that is isn't a 1S esc, but 2S-3S.
Would that be a problem?
Could it work with this booster: http://www.carsrcracing.co.uk/?p=183

The HW Extreme Stock seems interesting because it is lighter than the HW 120A 1S. But I have heard of problems with the HW Extreme Stock when using 1S LiPo and booster. Is that common? Something to do with the software?

In the specs it says that HW 120A 1S weighs 105g. Someone told me that that is including wires. What does it weigh without wires?

Weight is of the utmost importance for me because I want to be as close to the limit as possible (930g) with a XRay X10 Link and 1S LiPo and mini or micro servo and wires as short as possible. Would 930g be possible with the HW 120A 1S?
