Then on the bench, power up the car and work the throttle/brake for 60 seconds. Attempt to view the recording.

Ok, write down all your settings. Do a factory reset to clear out the esc's memory entirely. Re input your settings. Then go into data logging and make sure all the streams you want to record are checked.

Is there any possible reason a 5.5t motor would run COOLER going from locked timing to 15dg of boost ?
I have a D413 running a rsx and d413 and indoors I was running 10dg on the can and locked timing in the esc. Esc stayed cool but motor got pretty hot indoors. Took it to my outdoor track and ran it with some boost and the motor didn't get anywhere near as hot as it did indoors. Was it just the increased air flow , the lack of constant acceleration , or an efficiency thing ?

Plug in only your Hotwire to your PC, launch the software, hit the "Help" button and read the version. What does your show?

Boost doesn't generally cool things off on its own.

It might explain some of what you are seeing, aside from the gearing issue that Randy mentioned.

I rechecked the streams and went for a drive in the street and the Logger started logging again. I didn't need to reflash the firmware in the esc or return to default settings.

I sent in an RS Pro that couldn't be repaired so they sent me a new RSX and a bill for $142 shipped.

I definitely do not think i'm delutional here. reverse is definitely faster than forward. If i attempt to switch the throttle direction, it wont calibrate.

Will I need hotwire to change the direction of the motor?
Could timing on the motor can have something to do with it? I reset the esc to factory values wihich appear to be set to "full brake/reverse) under the brake strength profile but it says it should be at 4-5 in the manual. I'm not sure what firmware I have as I don't have a Hotwire.
