Hey Guys,
I have noticed since we have got rid of the grey carpet and got new black carpet, that quite a few guys have been shorting out ESC's. Just wondering if its all from the static electricity within the carpet since it's new or what. Now i have further noticed that lots are grounding their ESC's and getting LOW friction belts, is that actually going to help.
Thanks for listening

I'm running a trackstar V2 in my usgt. The motor is fast. When I got the motor (NEW) the sensor board was shot but still worked and is fast. The motor just bogged for a second then takes off. Got my warranty replacement motor too. no cnarge and got to keep the old one.

I used the V1 version this summer. Solid but compared to newer systems it was weaker.

I find it a hit and miss with motors these days. I usually get my stuff from RCMART. It's just the shopping time, that's too long but worth the wait in price.

just wire an amp meter in series to measure amp draw. Start with the timing at 30 deg. Amps should be low (2-3), keep adding motor timing until you hit 6 -6.5 amps with a full charged battery (or close to full, just not flat). That is your max timing setting, going beyond it will only increase heat and the amps will jump big time. Most motors end up around 40-55 deg timing. You are looking for the spot where the amps really jump up beyond 6 amps, go back a deg or 2 and leave it set there. Tune FDR for track layout, leave timing alone, it's now set for peak efficiency.
