On the timing advance if I'm looking for the coolest run temp what setting should I use? Not looking for any performance gain out of 1900 or what is the timing advance number you like? I see the new one goes from 0-30. Would 3 be a safe bet?

Default Esc just blinks. No throttle.

Rx8 gen 2. I had a motor wire come off on the stand just checking things out. Car ran fine last week. No changes. I solder wire back. Now nothing. I have reset radio several times. Re blinded several times and even tried another rx. Same thing. Tekin gen 1 1900 spec dx3r. Any thoughts are appreciated.

The update to the firmware is the ability to work with the app? So the update and the app will be released at the same time?

Does this mean the app is almost ready for public consumption?

Randy, can you at least confirm or deny that the app will be out by the end of the year?

I am sure the app will be available the moment it has a company blessing. And I am also sure it will be known on this site inside of tern minutes later.

In the meantime we wait and they tease. And it is working. Interest is high.

Yes!

The team has the app now and is trying it out. We wanted our team to get familiar with the process of instillation and implementation to help the consumers...you guys.

I have a question on motor temps. I'm running the T8i 1950kv 16/45 gearing in a TLR 3.0, I'm only 204g over min. weight requirement. I run indoor medium size high bite clay. After a 12min run motor is 190f. Is this acceptable? I plan to cut 40g with a lighter battery. How much would this help?
