The internal temps are always about 30 degrees hotter than can temp assuming you're not using a fan to cool the outside of the can.

So figure 210 or lower. Again this is on OUR Tekin Gen2 motors. I'm not going to vouch for another mfg's sensor accuracy, etc.

How were your lap times between the two?
Lap times were very similar. The track was very dry and slick so it was hard to judge how it was overall. One thing i have noticed is the motor seems to slow as the run goes on. Not sure if when it gets hotter it loses power or its the battery draining down. I use the protek 100c 4300 mah short packs. after a run it goes from about 8.42 to 7.8.

Sure during the run you'll get some heat fade as well as voltage drop..so yes some fade is normal.

Decided to start using the data logging function for vitals so I deleted all logged data today before doing some practice laps and after going through some packs, I went to check the data log but it was empty.
I saved my esc settings and did a factory reset, uploaded my settings back up and re-calibrated radio.
Did a test run and it seems to be all good.
Has anyone else had data log not record?

If you JUST updated your esc software it's always nice to do a factory reset on the unit then install your settings, etc. Sometimes the memory can get clouded up a bit causing an erratic operation. The factory reset clears it all.

You did the right thing.

Could someone explain Active Brake, Push Control and Throttle Min settings on the Android App for my RSX?

Active Brake has different levels of immediate brake "lock-up" power. 1-3 are for offroad, 4-6 are stronger for onroad.

Push Control is opposite of Drag Brake, rather it "pushes" the car when you let off the throttle by still applying a little throttle in neutral, making the car roll more free.

Throttle Minimum is the slowest the motor will turn with the least amount of throttle applied. The lower the number the slower your car will crawl.

Anyone know where to find replacement fans for the RSX? I have had mine for a while in my 44.2 and the other day when I brought it in I noticed it was making a noise. Something must have hit the blades or something because several are broken. Anywho, I have searched all over and can't find the replacements anywhere online or at the LHS. Are they even for sale? TIA!

New car. Old problem.

Can the rsx handle a hitec 7955tg?

I've got a pretty serious glitch/studder issue going on. Its only in the servo and is a constant high frequency flutter.

Had to install a castle 10amp bec on an older buggy w this servo.

Have not tried turning the rsx output voltage to 7.4 yet.

What do ya think Randy?

Nevermind... so over HiTec servos. Swapped it out for a Savox and it's perfect.
