Gearing will be track dependent.

What he said

Had a weird event at Beachline RC in FL. car had started to 'runaway' like back in the day when you got interference. I checked the car and when throttle was applied it ran at high speed (as if the min throttle was set to 45/50%) then as you applied more throttle it worked normally. Anyway, the A phase had started to move/become loose on the RSX (probably bad solder joint by me...) i resoldered but it ran the same. Reset the settings via Hotwire and it has been fine since - won the main :-)

So, i'm not sure how the settings got skewed, but if all else fails -reset!

@Randy, BTW what would be great with the Hotwire app would be able to store/load a profile on the phone/tablet and also a way to save or share a data run. I worked around it by screenshotting the data for review afterwards.

I was up to around 150 F according to Hotwire - could i have gone faster safely?

You should aim to keep the motor under 200 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent the rotor from demagnetizing. 150 and under is ideal, but if you are faster on the track when it's closer to 180, go for it. I aim for 150 or cooler so that if a bearing goes bad or a fan fails, there is more overhead before damage happens.

So that reading is from inside the endbell of the motor isn't it? Are you taliking under 200 outside or from Hotwire data?

Yes, that reading is inside the endbell. Confirm you are reading the motor temp and not the esc temp as well. I would back that number up with a temp gun on the outside of the motor. They should mostly agree within 10-20 degrees.

200 from either source: temp gun or the internal sensor. Go with whatever is hotter to be safe.

I have no issue with the ESC temp at all, it barely breaks a sweat (no fan).

Anyone else notice (from a data cleared ESC) that there may be more than one run shown? Just wondering why the ESC decides to initiate another data 'run' when i've just cleared the data and run only once.

if you have turned the car on and then off say while in your pits it will show a run.

I'm clearing the data, switching on and placing on the track. That's all. Maybe just a quirk.

rotor preference for 4wd buggy 13.5 yellow or blue
thanks

Unless you are running on a crazy fast and flowing track, the yellow torque rotor will serve you better.

Yellow at all times in 4wd buggy 13.5

part number for tekin gen 3 13.5 w yellow rotor for 4wd buggy
thanks

rotors are options. they don't come in the motor when you purchase.
