Yes...you are doing fine as long as your car is going FORWARD when you apply the throttle in forward position. Don't worry about the lights too much.

The throttle REV is more for the Futaba Radio.....

"Low voltage cut-off protection: If the lithium battery pack’s voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will cut the output power. Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of each lithium cell is lower than 3.5V. You can disable cutoff voltage protection function for competition racing.

For NiMh/NiCd battery packs, if the voltage of the whole NiMh/NiCd battery pack is higher than 12V, it will be considered as a 4 cell lithium battery pack; If it is higher than 9.0V but lower than 12V, it will be considered as a 3 cell lithium battery pack; If it is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 2 cell lithium battery pack. For example, a NiMh battery pack is 8.0V, and the threshold is set to 2.6V/Cell, so it will be considered as a 2 cell lithium battery pack, and the low-voltage cut-off threshold for this NiMh battery pack is 2.6*2=5.2V."

Can't seem to get my Cirtix Stock Club ESC to work with any sensored motor. When I turn on the speed control with the sensored wire attached, it has a constant beep, beep, beep, etc... If I remove the sensor wire, the speed control seems to work normally as well as the motor attached to it.

Was planning on using this speed control with a 25.5 in VTA.

I have tried 2 different brushless motors - an old Novak 4300/10.5 and a Ballistic 25.5 motor with the same results. I have double checked that the ABC wires are attached in the correct order on the speed control. I have also tried 2 different receivers with the same result.

I have tried 2 different Futaba transmitters and have confirmed that the throttle channel was "reversed".

I did shorten the speed control to receiver wire, but I have also double checked that those connections are good.

Anything obvious that I'm overlooking??

See you can borrow a SPEED PASSION or TRINITY base motor and give that a try...just try to make sure the ESC has problem or not. Give that a try first.

Did the wires get reattched in the right order? Might be the causeif they are wrong.

Hi,

Anyone can advise on the gear ratio range for this combo on 13.5 and 17.5?

For 17.5 anywhere from 3.3-4.0 depending on track and size.I just ran mine last night at a local hobbytown,raced rcgt with it in my cyclone s geared 3.72.It had good punch infield and good top end for our short staightaway.Not sure though where the motor should be temped but on the side it read 180'ish and the back 130'ish after a 5 min heat race.The ambient temps were around 100 and the track lots more than that.This esc and motor ran great and gave me no problems so far.

I have my 2 Cyclones geared at 3.5 and run them on small to large tracks asphault tracks.

Temp on the motor is usually 125ish.

Last time out it was 100+ outside and the motors got warm 160+ so i added heatsinks and fans to be extra cautious.

I swore I saw one in the for sale thread a couple days ago. They wanted $50 shipped for just the ESC.

after 1 year and half out of racing, I came back last week.

got the second best time, finished 3rd.

track is around 70 feet x 70 feet

losi type r
rubber tire
17.5 combo
4.8 fdr and i was getting a temp of 100
4.6 fdr and I was getting around 115

next time I will try 4 - 4.4 fdr

what will be the max temp for the 17.5 motor?

thanks

I have had mine up to 170, but I didn't like it there at all. My local track has a Citrix 17.5 series and that track owner seems to like the motor temp around 150.

When I ran my combo in my Type R, I was getting only 105 running 3.9 FDR. Track is indoor carpet and not sure of exact measurements.

hey guys - just got one of the Cirtix speedos and i got a question..

was looking thru the instructions and didn't see how to program the speedo WITHOUT the box - is this possible?

Its the club spec so i know i can only do so much adjusting, but like to remove some drag brake and adjust a couple of the other things I can

thanks for any help - tomorrow at work, i'll go thru the whole thread

You will need access to a programming box to make any changes. If you got it from a LHS or a track/Hobby shop I am sure they will let you use theirs. My track let me, of course that's where I bought it from and they run a Citrix 17.5 series.
