Motor cutoff temp is measured internally, so that 220 is internal temp, which translates to much cooler external temps. There is no exact ratio since there are many variables in play, but I have seen the internal set at 180 and the external read 120. I have never seen anyone hit the cutoff at 220 so I don't have an example for you.

And as far as the brakes go, I had trouble getting mine to feel right at first. I was stuck in old school habits of setting brake EPA at 70 or 80. Set it to 100 and fine tune with the Proguage. You'll see a difference. Once you get it to where you like it, then you can make an on the fly adjustment via the EPA if you need to. That adjustment should be small though if you did your ESC settings right.

why would you want to use the break to turn off the esc? seems like a silly feature

How many ESC/Motors does 1 pro gauge handle? Or is it 1 pro gauge per ESC/ Motor combo?
Thanks

PM me and let me know we will help you figure it out.
meaning, when sitting still on the line if I do not keep turning the wheel lets say for no more then 20 seconds apart the esc will turn off. Wanna over ride that feature and let the esc stay on until I personally turn off the esc

You only need one as it's just a reader and doesn't store or save anything on it.

$226.00 ESC/ Motor only or $209.00 combo with pro gauge. Just doesn't make sense to me....

No it's not. Where I race you are always turn marshaling the next heat. Before doing so you must also leave your own car to inspection (and leave it there during your marshaling). There is no time waiting for your car to be inspected and then get the car and TX to the pit table. I think it would be very convenient feature to shut off the ESC without removing the body.

I had a Tekin 410K back in the day and it had an option of using the break to shut it off. I thought it was a great option and have always wondered why it never took off with other esc's. I would use that option today if it was available.
