I'm pretty sure that speed control is capable of running that motor.

Yes. We run that same setup in our truggies.

Did a search and can't find the correct answer. Tore 2 4268 gen2 motors apart to check bearings. 1 motor had 1 brass shim and 1 crush washer, the other had 2 crush washers only. What's the proper shim setup? I assume the crush washer goes on the pinion end and the brass shim is supposed to be on the sensor board end?

I see a lot of drivers (including pros) using ONLY 1 degree of boost in their set up sheet. Not 0, not 5 or 10. But 1. I don't see how it can have an effect on the car.

Can someone explain why? I am new to the hobby. Thanks.

Believe me....1° of boost has a good effect on bottom end punch! It also depend on how the boost is applied.

Also some drivers only properly update their car sheets (some not even that 100%), not necessarily their ESC's sheet.

If running a xr10 stock spec esc on a 17.5 2wd buggy will I need to get the programmer ? What will the benefits be ?
Pros and cons against the justock version?

Is there a way to program a xr8 pro without a programmer? I need to switch the motor direction (sensored motor) and don’t have a programmer. The instructions show a chart but only show access with a programmer.

You can use any USB to servo adapter, I use this one here:

thanks for the info. I’m thinking I’ll probably swap it out for a Tekin rx8 gen 3 anyways, I already have a Hotwire Bluetooth. I see you’re in Austin. I am too. Trying to get back into racing after a very long break. Do you race at Thornhill?

There are some items you can adjust that you could take advantage of. Drive freq. Brake freq. Brake force among otgers.

cool. thanks.

Also can anyone explain what exactly does "softening" do?

DirkW

Softening reduces timing for the set conditions. However, with softening activated, you're no longer in blinky mode.
