For what it's worth, I run the gen1 with the track star 5.5 in my 22-4. The esc never gets over 120-125, the motor (with a fan) runs around 140, and it's a rocket ship! I honestly think that the esc could handle a 4 turn off-road, if you think you can handle it

Guys, im running a 4t motor gen 1 and gen 1 esc for 1/10 off road.

So its confirmed working, temps have been about 50-60degrees motor and about 50 for esc. Stock pinion yokomo bmax 4 iii. Have done about 20 battery packs.

Its winter here though, hope the temps will be alright once summer comes. 10-20degrees day/night when i was at the track.

4t is alot faster then the 5.5t tekin im use too but getting use to it, Will try the 4.5 turn gen2 motor if my current 4t gen 1 cant handle it when summer comes.

Trackstar where you been all my life.

Super impressed by my turbo 120's ...can't believe the bang for the buck

So I finished building my first brushless car last night (been out of the hobby for a few years), and opted for the Trackstar Turbo 80A & 17.5T Combo that was on sale over Black Friday.

I have an Airtronics RX-V, with the included waterproof reciever, and I can't figure out the best way to get these two fitted into my B5M... The ESC fits in quite well with the motor wires towards the center running in a line down the length of the car, but the receiver then won't fit in the remaining space.

I can see that a few people have been running a B5M with the 80A and 120A Turbo models, and these look to me (from the photos) to be the same dimensions. How did you get everything fitted in?!?

Anyone using the turbo setting on the 80a or 120a trackstar turbo esc?

I'm running a 13.5 in open stadium truck and am looking for a not too aggressive set up (programming).

Thanks

I own a couple of the 120A Turbo ESCs by Trackstar but I decided to put in this ESC instead, which uses a different program box, in my SCT. My settings aren't that aggressive either. (Note that I don't race, though.) It also has that turbo feature and I find it fun when going in straights. The way it pulls ahead after a .1 second delay always puts a smile on my face.

hey I use the same !

I don't use Turbo but I have been playing with Boost on my 120a Gen 1.

Turbo is good when you're not interested in changing power delivery except after applying wide-open-throttle for a specified delay. I hear this comes in handy on larger tracks where you want to push the motor's RPM to the max down a straight.

Boost is for adjusting the power delivery of the motor through the middle of the powerband. It's a lot like ignition and cam timing in internal combustion motors in that it adjusts the efficiency range of the motor depending on RPM. Using Boost is like turning up the timing dial on the can as the motor accelerates. This lets you set the can timing low(er), which will build torque more quickly but offer less RPM, then when the boost hits the power doesn't fall off as fast. Ideally you end up with a steeper initial torque curve and flatter fall off.

I run on a small indoor clay track in both buggy and stadium truck. In the buggy with a trackstar 10.5 I took the can timing to 2 marks below middle, then added 30 degrees of boost starting at 5000 rpm with the default rpm increment (don't have the gear in front of me right now).

I recently put a trackstar 8.5 in my stadium truck. I left the can timing in the middle and added 25 degrees (might be 20) of boost starting at 7000 rpm with the default rpm increment.

If you want to play around with the boost I'd start by taking the can timing down from where you think 'optimal' power is being made a bit, then adding in some boost timing, like 10-15 degrees. Run 3 minutes and get a feel for the power delivery and then temp it. Tweak from there. If you need some more RPM add some more timing if you aren't too hot. If you need some punch back maybe bump the can timing back up a bit.

Don't add too much boost+turbo+can timing though...I think anything over 60 degrees is a problem.

I just ordered one of the Turbo 120A esc's, for the money it's a great deal if it works!

I hope you ordered the programming box, too. It does work great, if you have the box.

Do any of the Trackstar esc's work with my Hobbywing LCD programmer?

Hell yeah, for $10 why not?

i have been running mine (turbo 120a) now for about 15 race meets after my r10 went up in smoke. i was sceptical about it as it was so cheap however its been great. not a single problem doesnt get hot running 6.5 lrp in a 22-4..

Like Jason Snyder said, yeah no warranty but the price itself is a warranty! If the smoke comes out chuck it and slap a new one in since they are about 1/5th the price of an Orion!

did you blow out the dust Inside the esc ? I noticed the dust creates a layer Under the electronic which isn't very good...
