The issue starts after almost the second lap, and the temp are not hot ,just warm.Could it be my computer? I will try to change another couple of sensor wires,but when it did the problem...I put the motor from my car with the lrp old spere -same thing.Thanks for the input,I will try to download the set up again and see what happens.Is this anything that any body here has ever experienced? Also even if some other car runs close and hits me I experience some loss of power...?

Speed Passion wow'ed us with this very cool iPhone app. This app allows you to open, modify and program your Speed Passion ESC via bluetooth technology. Since almost everyone carries a cell phone, this removes the need for carrying around laptops (or netbooks), cables or a pocket programmer.
This product was not finalized, so full-blown specs were not available. Speed Passion has guaranteed us it will be the next big thing in programmable ESC's. Software will be available for iOS, Android and Windows Mobile phones.

First thought is that you haven't recalibrated the speedo to the radio after changing software, or that a trim has got knocked out of place.
Second thought is that putting transmitter settings to "max" might be confusing the setup. Set them to "100%", which is often less than the maximum, depending on the transmitter.
Third thought is that your motor has gone soft. If it is an old SS with the bonded rotor, they don't brake as well as the sintered rotors that most other contemporary motors have.

Myself and 2 other SP esc drivers all suffering the same issue, seemed to be when going from Full throttle straight onto heavy braking the brakes wouldnt work properly, they seemed to work and then fade and the strength of the brakes faded.
Initial brake was good, slow speed brakes good, but after the first 0.1 of braking they seemed to fade as if the ESC ran out of power.
my settings were:
Brakes 100
reverse force 50
initial 0
We couldnt cure it.... mayb its time for a firmware update? as hte Tekins could turn inside us, even if they couldnt outpace us

I believe there is a video on the speedpassion website under video section for the esc or you could check youtube i am sure someone has made one...

in reply to above post (#5859):
I did recalibrate mine, set my end points to 110% etc.
Ive never had issues with it before, it just seemed to be for this particular layout - hitting full brake whilst the car was still turboing from full throttle
