Updated FETS newer design better able to handle the currents the new softwares are demanding.

Thank's cherry

Yes they will, but I guess Angelo will post them first on here once they are approved

Anyone have any ideas why my v2.0 would completely cut out? Went to the track to practice today as it's the first time I've had chance to play with this latest batch of software (0119).

Software is awesome and found what was for me a sweet spot of speed/driving ability. However on what was going to be my last run of the day the speedo completely cut out even the fan had shut down. Turning it off then on again would bring it back to life so stated off round the track and it cut out again. Its then done this repeatedly every time I tried to use it. I've swapped batteries, servo and rx just to make sure but it still happens. I'm running Intellect 40c batteries and a Tekin 13.5t motor.

I seem to remember someone else had a similar problem but can't seem to find the post nor can I remember if there was ever a solution so if someone can remember the thread ID's I'd be grateful. Failing that have I fried the speedo?

Well testing was interesting on Thursday, put the car down for the first time in about 3 months after driving a Mini, pulled away and thought yep thats quick.

After about 5 laps the car slowed right down, I though the Lipo might have been dead so changed it but it was slow from the out set.

Got a bit worried, but the only thing I changed from the last time I ran was the firmware ( upgraded to 219 ) so I changed it back to 518 reset the end points and the car ran fine for the rest of the day.

Anyone any ideas?

hey cherry sorry for the late reply. here ya go!

oh its your version of the fw instruction/definitions

It seems to me you have a massive voltage drop on your battery's How old are the packs? The way to fix it with the current cells you have is to drop the lipo voltage cutoff to 3.0v in your programming thats should fix it .

Thanks Cobra I'll give that a try, for info both packs are only about 10 charges old, but they have been sat in my garage over winter on storage charge. I shall report back on how I get in

are the new Xerun 13.5T better then the SP13.5 V3 motor?any suggestions?thanx

Sent you a PM

i'd go for the hobbywings....they brake so much better, in the sweepers i just off-throttle

quality wise yes perfromance similar.Also better hall sensor board which is designed by michael .

What some of you may not know the motors are actually designed by michael at hobbywing and then manufactured in a part owned hobbywing factory

when will the hobbywing motor be endorsed? As i can see in this thread, its reliable and well build.

You need to provide alot more information. Type of car, motor, gearing, track layout, and the ESC settings.

With the 119 (or 1224), you can easily Over time the motor, and it sounds like this is what you have done. Try upgrading back to the 119 software, and then start very conservative on the timing. We do know that step #54 Boost is 36 deg of timing. (Confirmed here on Rctech).

Brushless motors will not run properly with more then 60deg of timing, they tend to run slow and make alot of heat.

Well it's like a year on and the ESC's have yet to reach the ROAR list, so it's hard to be real positive about the motors, though I suspect more effort will go into that cause you just can't run motors anywhere unless approved.
