Hey everyone. Just wanted to report back on my experiences with the Speed Passion GT2.0 Pro and LPF in 2wd Truck and SCT respectively.
Both vehicles were running Novak Ballistic 17.5s in an open class, tight indoor carpet over jumps. Both motors with timing retarded to 20 degrees each instead of stock 30 degrees.
Here are the settings for both vehicles (323 software):
Drag brake. 0
DRRS. 9
Brake force. 75%
Rev. force. 75%
Initial brake. 0%
Neutral range. 6%
Boost timing. 30 deg
Turbo slope. 18 deg
Overheat protection. on
Turbo timing. 12 deg
Boost start rpm. 4000
Turbo delay. Off
Timing acc. 100
The track is about 50 x 50 or so, and was setup with a lot of 180s with the final jump having a 180 before you get to it, then a 90 degree turn followed by another 90 degree turn before another jump. You carry your most speed here.
The problem I was having was with my settings against the field, I had just enough power to clear that jump if I maintained some speed or took the turn slightly wide to have some run up. Others could just punch it almost from a dead stop and clear the jump.
Now, I may have the wrong motor setup here since this is an open class, I can accept that and have a 10.5 setup for both vehicles on the ready, but right now I just am getting out *punched* over this section.
playing with the gearing though, I would be down on overall speed where I needed it (could see me topping out sooner than other cars).
So, in this situation, what would someone suggestion initially to try?
Sweat spot for the vehicles are far as gearing goes was about 22T pinion / 84T Spur. going higher I felt the motors would fade and temps were higher than I liked. Speed would go up of course, with a little loss of punch.
the competition is regularly running anywhere from 8.5 motors to castle 4600Kv or the 4 pole 3800kv motor.

Yes i understand that just looking for a conformation about being able to switch blinky and a boosted mode. I thought with Speed passion as well as hobbywing they were completly seperate firmwares only switchable through a computer...

motor gearing
I know this is the onroad forum but there is a lot of action here. Maybe someonce can point me in the right direction. I running a TLR 22 buggy with 2.43:1 gear box ration. I a running a 13.5 SP v3 motor. My current set up is a 27 tooth pinion and 70 tooth spur. My fdr is 6:30.. I am running blinkly software with a viper esc. What should my ration range be. I downloaded the PDF from SP site. It says 4.8 to 6 on a six cell..
Can someone help me out to what a safe range would be.
Thanks

I'll definitely keep it in mind.
