Hello

Today i have race to the first time with the Hobbywing speedo the V3 with modified motors.

My old speedo is a Tekin RS Pro.

I Have really surprised to the feeling of the throttle and brake very smooth.

In the end of the day i have the same lap times with comparison to the two speedos.

In the Hobbywing i have room to improve because some parameters i don't have familiarized to them.

My conclusion is that the V3 is a very good speedo.

Best regards:

The following can cause this issue of cogging

1.faulty phase (usually phase A)

2.faulty sensor cable (sometimes any line from the esc to the motor being a b or c phase

3.wrong configuration of wiring for the A,B an c phases (as the esc is not designed to reverse sensored motors .(counter clock wise rotation) so the esc is confused as it doesnt know were the sensor is stationed to the rotor so it cogs looking for the correct position.

4.faulty motor sensor board

thats all .

Hi Guys

Just a quick note to remember the data logger on the v3 will not save the information you have just logged after a run unless you do one of the following

turn the esc off from the switch

hold the throttle in the reverse brake postion for about 5 seconds

If you disconnect from the battery your information will be lost

have a great day guys Queens birthday today and i will have a little break lol will answer your pm's tomorrow

regards Angelo

Hi Guys

There will be a new 2 in 1 programmer soon to cater for both software version to be loaded and saved v3 and v2.1 etc .At the moment the existing unit cannot cater for both loaded at kept in memory at this point in time .

The new unit will be identical to the origin 2 in 1 but will have more memory .

The older unit sorry will not be able to be upgraded to more memory .

Cobra-

Can you please provide some insight here...is there settings that can be changed to improve the feel of drag brake?

The issue is not much about how much, but more about how the drag brake is applied.

Thanks...

Weird problem here guys. Im using the 1s esc for spec sedan. I had it paired up with a revtech 17.5 motor with the high rpm rotor. It was just fine except I picked up a motor with the high torque rotor. I soldered the high torque and took it to the tracks today. This is when the problems started.

When gunning full throttle, it would be very delayed. The motor would spin at about 50% for half a second, then finally go full throttle. On the track whenever this happened, it sounded like a spur gear getting stripped.

So I came home and switched motors to the old one.... Same problem! Then I switched Rotors. I thought i figured out that the high torque was faulty. Using the high rpm was perfect. That fixed it! Or so I thought. I tested it twice and it was working perfectly with the high rpm rotor. 10 minutes later, the problem is occurring again. It won't go to full throttle immediately; rather it waits .5 seconds then goes. I've done everything except switch escs.... I hope I don't have to.

Any help here?

I too have experienced this, in particularly the sweeper at the end of our straight, I think it might have something to do with the boost being controlled by the throttle position, as you back off for the sweeper entry, and then apply only some throttle it cuts the boost back according to the throttle position, normally i run with about 10% drag in mod and reducing it to 5% did not make any difference, what did help was if you stayed a little more on the throttle but then you cant hug the curbing on our sweeper, but that did eliminate the odd feel

I am going to try this awesome speedo out again to day after work to see if i can eliminate the slow down/odd hook it develops in our sweeper

hope the guys can shed some light as we have a club race this weekend

i see there is new software, does anyone have a link that works as the one on the hobbywing site seem to be down

and what was altered/fixed in this release

I think it might be a sensor problem... Have you tried a different sensor-cable/switched sensor-board from the old motor to the new?

I haven't tried switching boards around, no. However this problem occurs on both sensor boards and motors, so I'm inclined to believe the problem is with the esc.

Had afriend with same problem. It was the sensor cable so try using a new one.

Ok, time for an update.

Just tried switching pretty much every part around on the motors. Switched out rotors, switched out sensor boards, switched out sensor cables. I've got basically 2x Revtechs and sensor cables and rotors. I've tried every combination of all the parts. Rotor A with Sensor Board A with Sensor Cable A. Rotor B with Sensor Board A with Sensor Cable A, etc etc etc...

Still nothing. It does the same crap as always. Now, I did notice that the first time I fixed it, it had something to do with the sensor cable. Is it possible that I just have absolutely rotten luck and both of the sensor cables I have are faulty? that seems pretty harsh, especially if I just spent the whole night figuring this out...

its not impossible, get another spare and if it does the same im sure you can rule out the sensor cable

Angelo,

Any news/updates on the 1S V3?

The problem is that I've taken a known working sensor cable that I've been using on my vta car and it still didn't work. I'll try a few others tonight. Gonna have to borrow some from my brother.
