Any one have drag brake issues? i have drag brake turned off but it still acts like there is some drag brake, drive train is free smooth and mesh is set perfectly. the weird thing is that after full throttle if i lightly tap the brake, not even enough to slow the car down it'll roll for a heck of alot longer then just letting off to neutral, ive tried different radios, motors, setups, ect to no avail and i have a friend with the same exact issue, this wasnt an issue with 200.

What do you have your neutral width set at?
if you want less drag brake effect, then turn it off and run push control. i always run push in 17.5 and 13.5. the motor just has soo much drag to it internally

i did see this this weekend i tried some push control and it free rolled alot more but went back to 0 untill i can get a feel for it

The neutral width is set in the middle, ill check later what exactly, but the weird thing is like i said if i just touch the brakes a little bit and then let go it will free roll like normal so its not the motor having to much drag. it sucks im so used to having a free rolling car and now even running push control set even kinda high it just doesnt feel the same.
what is kinda high. I run 40-45 push and i have not had the problem you are seeing. the car rolls forever. the higher you run in gearing the higher push you will run to get the same effect. but that just makes sense. with a higher roll out, it takes much more energy to make the car roll. push control is like running roll in your transmitter. the higher the gear the more "roll" you have to apply to keep the car rolling. one thing to know is that the effects of push control is affected by the amount of "on throttle" you run between the corners. the more you are on throttle the more effective the push control is.
brushless motors have much more drag then they did when they first started showing up on the shelf. the technology is just getting better. but the higher the wind the more drag the motor has. 17.5 and 13.5 motors have quite a bit of drag.

Any gearing and settings advice on the following track;
It would be on the following layout;

Last year I ran an FDR of 4.5 with a 10.5 LRPx11 using the LRP SPX speedo on setting 8.
I will be using an RS Pro with an LRP x12 on standard timing. What's the highest combination of settings I could use on that combo?

Sensored mode
Boost = 45
Turbo = 5
Delay = 0.5
Start = 3,xxx
End = 15,xxx
Ramp = 2.0
These settings are quite conservative.
However, remember to temp your motor after 2 minutes or so.
IF the motor is cool/warm (like ~40C) , then add more boost/turbo/add pinion.
IF the motor is too hot (like >85C) then reduce boost/turbo/drop pinion.
For LRP, I think the optimal temp is around 65-70C. good luck.

well i removed push control, uped the neutral width to 25, changed a few other settings, recalibrated and has gotten much better
I hope there's not a 21.5 class, or the pinion will be almost as big as the spur gear....
I think that trying the same gear ratio (4.5) and a small amount of motor timing might be worth trying, then temp check after 2 and then 4 minutes.
Usually boost is more effective on small/medium tracks, turbo could be overkill and over rev an already fast motor, although my logic could well be flawed..

They regularly blow 1/8 engines on that straight.
The big corner leading onto the straight is banked

come race in holand at least 3 tracks way faster as that
Probably Lostallo in Switzerland has the biggest rc track in the world

What setting are people finding to work well with the X12 17.5? I run on a 90x50 track.
I use a Dou2 17.5 now geared 5.6. Max boost and turbo. also what timing setting on the x12?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

Baring in mind that Lostallo has a bigger infield, that meansd the straigh6t at Brookland must be at least the same.
