Timing Profile 1 is blinky. With the ESC powered up hold the mode button until you are in programming mode. Then push the mode button 5 times until the 5th led (Next to TP) lights up. Push the Increment button until only the first LED lights. Wait for the ESC to re-arm and you are done.

From the handbook that AE has on there site concerning caster:

http://teamassociated.com/pdf/cars_a...HandbookV2.pdf

Adding caster (leaning the uprights further back) will generally give less initial turn-in, but more on-power steering and better straight line stability,

while decreasing caster will generally add some turn-in, but at the expense of on-power steering and straight line stability.
From what I have seen people use in loose conditions, in general they went with more caster so they would get less initial turn in to avoid the vehicle hooking on them and as the guide says, feels more stable on the straights.

As it is an easy change to try, I'll see about giving both a whirl on the conditions we run out here (loose tracks, big jumps at one in particular).

Also, more caster is better in bumpy conditions. Most outdoor tracks are not super smooth.

going into the corner your right .

Out doors using 25 caster & rib tires is common and offen used ..

loose & dusty track , wide and sweeping turns ?

30 caster will only make the car more difficult to control.

see now the below reports just opposite

http://users.telenet.be/elvo/

i know it's an internet source, however the hudy off-road and on-road manuals contradict each other as well with regard to the effects of off-power steering...which is right? Does anybody have Chad Knaus phone number...haha

one thing that is always consistent is the effects of straight line stability

True blinky as I was told is 3 rapid flashing led in the middle and swapping with the 1st led. Hotire needed for this!!

Don't trust what some of those manuals state like the Hudy.

I persoanlly ignore the Hudy ..

Switch the caster blocks back forth and feel for your selves how they effect the steering ..

Our cars have to turn left and right, not to mention they have to deal with jumps and elevation changes. Our suspension design is lightyears ahead of those left turn only horse drawn carriages. Chad Knaus would be of little help here.

The problem is some of those manuals are based around the vehicle dynamics of a 4wd vehicle. Also the level of traction you have is going to effect what changes do what. Like you said, best to test to see for yourself.

Or you could install 25 on the left and 30 on the right. Should be money.

I'm thinking if you read the directions you can do that manually but I could be wrong.
