the graupner motors are like 1800 gauss or something, so if you didnt like the 1600, then you will most likely not like the graupners.
I'm surprised you said the 1600 rotors ran hot, as I always thought higher gauss rotors ran cooler, but that may be my mistake in thinking.

Just want to check about the telemetry guys. Do you just have to tap the button at the end of the run or hold it. Surely holding it will send the speedo in to setup mode? Just want to make sure I do it correctly.

just a single press, don't need to hold it

Is there any way to tell if you speedo is running in sensorless? Even when the sensor cable is connected?
My old GM120 2009 seems to be the same speed and seems to drive the same whether the sensor cable is attached or not. Its currently in my buggy running a 5.5 X11. Does the difference between sensored/sensorless only show up when you are running dynamic timing profiles?

If you hold the brake half on and roll the car by hand the three colour lights will light one by one as the individual sensors are picked up. If they are not lighting you are probably running in sensorless mode.

From what i know of its automatic. If the lead is in and working(i.e no easily broken wires) and the motors sensors are working it will go to sensor mode. If there is no detection of sensors the it will go into sensorless mode.
If you're sure everything is working save your setup, reset everything. Try it on a factory setup and if sonsored works try loading your setup again and see how your settings are different with the highlighted red changes. You might be able to track down what's happening that way.

How add timing in mode sensorless, in the 1.6.3???

Hi
we have some problems with one of our new genius 75 speedo's. Both is running 1s lipo and 1/12 scale. One is running a SP 4,5 turn , and 41,2mm roll out , have set fixed timing on 10 and the speedo is getting 85 degress C , no problems. But the other driver have BIG problems with heat in speedo , it's simply shutting down because off heat. Have tried a 3,5 turn GM , a 7 turn delta ,and last a Nosram 4 turn , with a rool out of 29,8mm. We have tried to race with no fixed and up to 12 , with absolut no result , he can only run about 4-8 laps of 100m , until it shuts down.
Both are running without heatsink and fan
Any ideas , maybe regarding fixed timing and/or roll out
thanks in advance

Hi people
I need help I'm running an x12 13.5 with my gm120 fw13.0 I have followed Martins stock how to for fw13 but i can't get the motor to run cool I'm lost for ideas I have geared harder and reduced the fixed timing but still runs very hot
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
James

What timing are you running and how hot do you consider very hot? 90c after a five minute run is fine.

Hi.
I'm running 18 fixed timing after 5mins esc readout says 97c but come the summer when the weathers warmer the motor will be hotter. I ran at aldershot in the UK today fdr was 6.08 a couple of lads were running x12s with tekins and were coming off around 50c
Thanks

What this does is run the motor efficiently(and cool) at slow speed then dumps a load of timing in when you need it. Not to mention it gives a very progress and nice feel to the throttle.
Other than that you may just be running too much timing for your motor as they are not all the same. Personal even though i'm running a x12 i don't like them because they are so fussy when it comes to getting the gearing right.
One final thing is the tekin guys can only be measuring the external temperature of their motor. If you're taking your reading from esc telemetry you're taking it of the rotor which is going to be 20-30c hotter than the can.
