It may just have been that when I thought I was pulling a small bit of throttle for the Rev in the pits it was actually a lot and the unloaded RPM went through the roof??
What ever it was, it was catastrophic.
I've ordered a new motor and will update the ESC again and go through the steps properly this time. If that leads to a lunched motor, it will be on LRPs dime and not mine!!
so i know the answer now....
i didn't do a factory reset (or a recalibrate). The latter wasn't an issue, however, what it appears to have done is taken the "default" setting number for the previous firmware i had on board, but applied it to the new firmware.
when you do the reset, it applies the new defaults.....
going through the settings it was then,
torque timing 10deg
boost timing 30deg
Boost ramp 14deg
so with 37.5deg insert on board with the motor, yeah, umm, that'll do it.....!
