hey i have an interesting question.im just got done racing tonight.and i noticed something weird with the performance and was hoping to find an answer.for a 5 minute heat.im guessing about 2 minutes in it went from hauling balls to feeling like the car didnt have turbo anymore.so i was temping after each race.it was temping at 147d.
i then got into the hotwire and turned down the timing which was set at 50.turned it down to 40 and the balls to the wall feeling was gone.but still felt consistent.temp was the same.....
any ideas on what it could be?
cause if i can get the car to feel awesome like the first 2 minutes that would be great.
any help would be great.....thx

Maybe this sounds a bit obvious ... but what batteries were you using and how old are they? That can make a difference to performance
Can someone recommend a net book that would be suitable for running Hotwire on trackside?
I'm not keen on carting around a MacBook so I was thinking of something small say a 7 inch net book.
Thanks

My friend runs a cheap (sub £200) Acer netbook with Hotwire just fine... all you need is a reasonable screen resolution so that you can view all the settings and a usb port.

Anyone, use Tekin´s modified motors, 4.5 - 5.5 at high competition level, and how it permormer, compare with Lrp, sp modified motors, i have a 10.5, and race with it at National last year in stock, i finish 5º in National and this motor help me a lot, but never i tested or see a Tekin modified, and i don´t know if performance is similar to other brands.

are you using turbo ??
If not then look at dropping a couple of teeth on the pinion
If yes dont use turbo and see what happens.
Another thing that tends to get the motors hot is having the timing come in at to low a rpm.

On our small track, 66' straight, I have the start rpm at 2,490 and end at 9,000, boost at 45 and no turbo. Roll out is 64-65mm with a Duo 2 timing set to one notch above middle. Car is very fast and temps end up around 130-150 after 8 minutes. I tried the timing on the motor at 0* but it was just slow. I also smoked a Duo 2 with the boost at Max and Turbo at 10 so there is a window that you need to be in, just not sure where that window is for your track.
