I have just installed a new LRP Flow Worksteam in a newly build Tamiya TRF418.

The below mentioned problem is present both in the stock 1.4 firmware and the 4.7 firmware, which I upgraded to. I did a reset after the update as instructed.

My problem is that the motor starts running slowly by itself, especially after power on or after running the motor and breaking. And when holding a steady throttle the motor revs up and down in increment steps.

I have calibrated 10 times, tried 6 different motors (LRP and other brands), 3 different sensor wires and re-binding.

I have tried to disable every timing, turbo etc. in the esc, but the problem persists.

The speedo has replaced a speed passion speedo, and everything worked (and still does) with that esc.

No doubt it is the esc. But what can cause the speedo to behave like this?

I have read about similar problems, but can't find a solution or answer to the problem.

Help is much apreciated.

greetings peter

Solved the problem by buying an LRP X20 motor. Works fine now.

Rationale: maybe you have another brand motor that works with the Flow, maybe you don't. To be safe, buy a LRP X20 motor.

Trying to find power with this esc. Was recommended this esc for stock. I have to say my other brand feels way more aggressive. This feels sluggish. I'm on the stock firmare. Added a little drag brake and that's it. Does the update help the feel for stock? Or are there parameters I'm missing. Tried upping initial feel and that made things worse. Any help appreciated

J -- the flow works really well in stock. The only perf new firmware gives you are braking profiles. Blinky drive profiles are unchanged.

Maybe you got the wrong motor or gearing?

Gonna try gearing change today. Im running Actinium on timing mark 4 with a 3.6 fdr. Should I try 3.3ish? It just feels slower down the straight is my only real issue. The feel in the infield is pretty nice.

SO, I just updated to my flow works to V3.8 for pro buggy running X20 7.5 and realised there is NO turbo timing mode! Whats the deal with that?? I love the new brake settings but No turbo? Guess I'm going to have to go back to the basic firmware.. :mad::(

That's pretty odd, especially as the onroad one does have it.

I guess it is the "worlds" firmware, so is exactly as they ran at the worlds perhaps with no turbo?

Very odd to release it like that though.

Make sure your at the CCW #4

Intial drive will make the bottom end feel a little more aggresive, but it won't change too much. I ran 3 or 4 with the stock firmware. I think a lot of times going from a punchy esc to a smooth one the smooth one will feel slow just because you dont get the power in a burst, even though it isn't. I know Manny up here yesterday ran a 3.78fdt on his Actinium on max timing with a flow, and it was plenty fast :)

Using a Flow Works Team with a 6.5T LRP X20 motor in a Tamiya TRF418 on medium sized asphalt tracks, are the standard settings in the 4.7 firmware a good start or are there any obvious changes I should make to the settings?

Yes, the default settings are a good place to start

Thanks :)

I'm using the a Flow Works Team with an X20 6.5T motor.

Is the speedo/motor temp readout on the speedo reliable in any way?

Hi all,

Thinking about pairing a FLOW works with my r1wurks 17.5. From this thread i've heard that the Flow doesn't like to work as well with other brand motors. Has anybody tried this combination?

Thanks
