Setup for 10.5 in TC.
Track - 50m straight with mixed infield
Motor - SP v3 10.5, motor timing on max
FDR - 6.5
Firmware - 0119
9 - 40
10 - 3
12 - 20
13 - 3000
14 - 3
15 - 200
The car was superb on the straight, with very good mid-range and top end. A little faster than with the 518 firmware I think, which used to lack mid-range.
Initial acceleration out of low-speed corners was okay, but could be better. This feels worse than the 518 which was very good out of the corner. Possibly a higher FDR will help here as long as it doesn't imact the straight speed too much.
Motor temp was only 45deg, compared to 70deg with the 518 firmware, so this is a huge improvement. Should make for more consistency throughout the run, especially on hot days (its 0deg outside at the moment).
I'm going to be installing a Novak Sentry data logger so I can analyse the performance in a bit more detail, and I'll also test the 1224 firmware to see if this offers any advantage. With the motor only at 45deg there seems to be room to improve the performance even more, but I'm already at the 60 "degree" maximum timing on the 0119, so the 1224 is worth a go.
