Hey guys need some help with my LRP flow.

I need to get more power out of my 17.5 setup, currently have motor timing set to about 40 but need more power. Coming off at about 135. What would be some good settings to play with on the ESC to get more power?

Need some more info.. What motor? Are you running blinky or boosted? What gearing are you running?

Running a Reedy 17.5 in Blinky mode. Its in my B5m indoor carpet car with 69/32 gearing.

Run more timing on the motor. Your temp now is pretty cool so id bump the timing up. As long as your under 170 you will be good.

You can play with the initial drive on the esc to change the throttle feeling but it will not change how much power you have (that is the point of blinky).

Do you have a decent battery?

I run IP 80C Shorty packs with great results but last week tried a new ORCA 100c battery and found it to not have as much punch as the IP which is rated at only at 80c

What temps are you running, you could always go up spur or 2 with the option of adding a fan mount. I use one of Shapeways B5M versions and it drops my temps by 20d for a 5 min race. In fact I cant get the motor temp about 55 now even running for 15mins with a 6000mah square pack.

Anyway just a thought - good luck

I do not need to stay in blinky mode for this race

Oh if you dont need to stay in blinky then its a whole other ball game.

Apologies I meant to say before go up a pinion or two, not spur!

Has someone successfully tried pairing the flow with a sonic reedy mach 2?

Considering buying one, but after experiencing the flow not getting along very well with both a speedpassion 3.0 and a sky ares pro motor, I'd appreciate any advice.

Hey guys! I need a help.

I just bought the Flow Worksteam to use with my 10.5T stockspec motor.

When i turn on the ESC, the blue led is flashing.

When i give throttle, the motor accelerates and almost instantly cuts.

I tried to make the Setup according to manual, but nothing changes.

Tried to change the mod configuration too

Someone could help me please ?

Best regards

I use an LRP Flow WorksTeam with a Reedy Sonic Mach 2 17.5T motor in my touring car, works fine, other than the motor temperature indicator not working.

The current touring car and 12th scale champion in the UK that ESC and motor (although different winds), seems to work okay ;) : http://events.redrc.net/2014/10/chas...lly-jefferies/

I had this issue with with my 1S Lipos. I needed to change the low voltage cutoff to 3.2 V. Hope this helps.

hi guys, i ran my flow in turbo/boosted mode for the first time yesterday and set my turbo delay to 0.2s. However when the turbo began to kick in, power suddenly cuts off and the speedy makes a pulsing-whining sound like its trying to send power to the motor. I took the car off the track, put turbo delay to 0s and all was fine again - Any idea what the problem is here?

piorc 05-29-2015 10:43 PM

RedBullFiXX, thanks a lot.
Just worked, but i have an issue.

When i turn on the ESC , the motor is accelerated, and i need to turn on the esc pushing the SET buttom.

How can i stop with this ?
Any radio configuration ?

I have an old JR R1 radio system (Spektrum)
