what is the difference between drag brake and initial brake?

I think it is initial throttle?

Do you mean feel/initial drive? It could also be refered to as minimum drive.
That is how slow the motor will go when you first move into the acceleration zone of the trigger. If you run mod on a slick track you may want to use a low number, say 1. If you run 17.5t on a grippy track you might want to use 5, this will make the motor feel faster on the low end. It is really just a driver preference for his trigger feel.

USB Bridge spec 2 (81801) Mac software
 
Hi, I hope someone can help me with this.

I bought a Flow Competition ESC and a USB Bridge spec 2. I use an imac. I downloaded the firmware driver from the LRP site okay. When I click on the LRP Firmware Update Tool 2.0.7 icon to install the software (presumably that is what to do as I could not find any instruction), all I get is a pop up message that says "LPR Firmware Update Tool 2.0.7" is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image. I have tried to download it 3 times from scratch deleting the previous download first but still got the same result.

Anyone has any clue on this.

Thanks

Alfred

Having a small issue with mine. Have changed sensor wires and motors before anybody asks that.

Changed the software to v5 the other day... set boost & trigger etc to around 6 to start with. Revs up great. Green light stays on... but if I start going up towards 8-10 on these settings the car will not rev out. (This is free standing I know I shouldn't but I've nowhere to test it all works)... the green led drops out & solid blue comes on. The car stutters before it reaches full throttle & then sounds as if it's in blinky mode. Any idea on this? Cheers.

Right. Been tryig different things. By leavong everything else turned up. N turning down the turbo boost to setting 2-3 it allows me to get to full throttle. So I'm assuming it's just too much timing through the motor.

going to upgrade mine tonight t v5, on AE website set up sheets look like drivers are running more brake in the Flow compared to the SXX V2.

Turned on Torque Timing (despite using a speed passion mmm 13.5) and this appears to have solved my issues. Revs out with no stuttering or issues.

Evening everyone

Just about to upgrade my flow works to v3.3 for off road racing. Might be a stupid question but on the brakes there is now the option of brake ramp and break type (semi x & x brake) can some one tell me the what this is all about. Thank you

upgraded to 5.0 last night, went great. glad I did it to a new flow instead of setting up than doing it. ran from 2 to 3 on initial brake, but think I will try 4 or even 5.

Im running a 13.5 with everything turned all the way up. the motor barely scrapes 65 degrees celcius and its a rocket!!

Are there any places in the USA that has them in stock? I have been checking Amainhobbies, Stormer and Speedtech and none of them have had it in stock for some time.
