noob ? what is/ does Digital Racing Response System level 1 to 9 do?

It's the punch of the system. 1 is a smoother take-off and 9 is the most aggressive. It still has a lot to do with your finger on the trigger but lower settings for 2wd off-road and higher numbers for 4wd and on-road are typical.

Hey Mark. yeah it definitely isn't like before where you just solder it up and run. To change to blinky mode you will actually be changing the software in the speedo. You will need the "pro" programming box and connect it to the pc with the usb cable. Then you will "upgrade" to the no timing software selection from the pc interface. It's easy to do. I usually send the settings to the ESC twice. I've heard that sometimes everything doesn't take the first time although I have yet to have it happen to me. I'd just rather do it twice while it's all hooked up rather than find out later that there was some error I didn't see.

I don't run stock where there is a "no boost, no timing" rule so I leave the 323stock software in mine and just change the settings. I run a 7.5 with minimal boost and timing settings for mod and for stock I just crank everything up. This is with a buggy. for SCT I believe you might want to keep it below the max but check temps often as you experiment for your track.

Here's a question I hope someone has a definite answer to:

I recently hooked up 14g wire to the motor from the speedo and used to run 12g. Will this cause higher temps in the speedo? Or is it just the higher ambient temps of summer causing it? I can change the wires back to test but it is simpler to ask here. Does anyone know?

I was thinking that it might be possible that the smaller gauge wire won't allow the full transfer of energy from the speedo and that might cause temps to rise a little compared to when using 12g wire.

Thoughts?

Yes he was...and he is dailed for sure. I wish I can download his driving skilll...

Mark...the 3 profile can only be saved within the same software...ie, if running 323stock, you can save 3 settings for like 13.5 stock on road, 17.5 stock SCT or 17.5 off road buggy........all within the same software only.

But once you are going to different software, like 205, those profile will not be transfer or carrry over...but you can create the same 3 profile for 205....

Yes, you will need the LCD programmer box is upload the 508_no_timing software to your GT2 ESC in order to run the blinky mode.

Rob King should be able to answer your question...however, my guess is, the different should be very minimum...remember, the past weekend was super HOT and humid, we had couple ESC melt down yesterday running full boost stock 17.5 for on road........that we were hardly experienced before. But heat index over 100, if you are pushing it, nothing will survive...

Flash the 508 software to get blinky no-timing mode. (I'm assuming that since you said you have the 323 update that you know how to flash the ESC.)

Depends on what you're running...for stock, it might cause a nominal increase, but for mod it would be more noticeable since the motors pull more amps. Usually for stock, 14g is fine, but it wouldn't hurt to have the larger "pipeline" of 12g, unless you were meticulously concerned with weight savings.

Thanks for the help!! I have the LCD box and have been changing one thing then another. I wasn't sure which software I need so this helps alot. I have been having fun but need to start to practice in blinky for the track.
Thanks again
Mark

When are the new speed passion motors coming out? I am looking to get a 13.5 and a 17.5

Welcome to my world LOL. 5+ months out of the year that's what we deal with. My SP speedos have held up great, but you learn to keep an eye on motor and speedo temps. Couple of people were asking about 205 Mod. I love that software in 4wd buggy. I'm running a 6.5 and haven't been to a track where I felt like I needed boost and turbo. Great punch, super smooth, great braking.

I recently purchased a SP LPF ESC and I gotta say I LOVE IT. I'm running it with with a Novak 13.5 in my new Losi 22. It is super smooth. My RS has nothing but size on this thing. I'll be purchasing more of these in the future. I hope to try the new V3 motors as well. Great product and great price. Thanks Speed passion!

For OFF ROAD...boost with 17.5 or 13.5 is the way to go, because it will make your 17.5 drive like 13.5 and 13.5 drive like 10.5............

On mod with 6.5...our top driver, always stick with 205 because with hot motor like 6.5, and the track is not getting bigger, boost just don't make it better...infact, if the setup with boost is off, you will be drag down to the B or C main...

I agreed with you...205 with 6.5 can be better and easier for everyone in off road...you want more speed, gear up or faster motor....

I am glad you like it.......we have alot of LPF on 22 now. Seems like a good combo...
