Hi Guys
In the next few hours i am going to post a guide on what needs to be done to have zero operating issues with the usb link .
Thanks

Had a a long talk with michael and he has told me that these features are not needed which i agree but there is an rpm limiter external to the esc which we are working on which will limit your rpm thus keeping your motor cooler .
To many features confuse the customer and ive been told this by many high end racers .

In general boosted classes will use lighter gearing (higher FDR, or lower Roll-out)
But blinky classes use very heavy gearing instead.
This means that in blinky classes the motor rpm is much lower, which means less breaks....

Ok thanks... Well decreasing the amps that the motor can draw will decrease the torque from the motor which is what i wanted to do. I dont think the RPM limiter will have the same effect as that... The reason i ask is because the only speedo that works with RC Bikes is the GM120 because you can limit the amps so you get low torque but still many rpms.

Procedure for usb link updates
The new files that i emailed out to most of you will show the new 526 software for the V3
Always run in Admin mode even when not updating the program will function better and will allow you to have much more control over the options especially the database
Please also remove any older version of the usb link from your control panel /programs this is a must .
thank you for your time and happy racing

Hi thank for the advice.
Went down to the track again tonight check all that and even changed the receiver, was running good, then about 4mins into run started to do it again. unless its coming lose during run
So its got me beat.
I have PM Angelo but herd nothing yet.

In blinky software for the v3 its the same as mod or stock all your actually doing is placing the boost and turbo to zero whih in turn blinks the red led stating zero timing no difference from zero to mod same programs for the v3
do you use any drag brake ?are you radio settings correct ? please take a look at these please as i have done my own testing and i see no problem with brakes .You could also have to much brakes and think not enough as you might be skidding/gliding .
I had a touch of drag brake and 1/2 brakes and had more than enough brakes .
Im told that they have heaps of brakes for turbo and boost but not enough for zero timing how can that be possible when it is the same program but turob set to zero and boost too zero ?

Six weeks ago you responded to my detailed explanation of the issues with the blinky brakes by saying that new software would be available next week.
Obviously that software never existed, because now you are falling back on the usual (it's your settings) excuse.
At least now I know that the HW brakes are going to stay faulty, so I can put my money elsewhere with only one regret - that I actually advised other racers to get HW ESCs...

What exactly has changed in the software for the V3? Anything?
How about nuetral width in the V3?
Some people in the past have brought up an issue with drag brake (the ESC having too much drag, even with a 0 drag brake setting, w/ 17.5 blinky) .. anything done about that?

Well, because braking technically is short circuiting the motor, and the higher the rpm of the motor is, the better it will break.
In general boosted classes will use lighter gearing (higher FDR, or lower Roll-out)
But blinky classes use very heavy gearing instead.
This means that in blinky classes the motor rpm is much lower, which means less breaks....

Its not a situation of LESS brakes, its closer to NO Brakes.
I've been playing around with blinky lately as we will be most likely switching from boosted to blinky next year. Without changing the rollout on the motor, there is a huge difference in brake performance between 930Stock, and the 508 No_Timing.
I agree with your statement though, it makes sense, that the brakes would be less, but not completely gone. In my WGT running around 70mm rollout, I can not stop the car from a walking pace. There just is no brakes. IN the boosted 930 software I have to dial the brakes down. Same rollout.
Angelo has also promised a fixed Low Voltage Cutoff for Blinky since March 2011. Still hasnt shown up. Works in the 930Stock though.
HW makes a great speedo, but they really need to get a grasp on their software...
Cheers,
Shawn.
