there are alot of ways to setup the speedo now with all the new setting. the last couple of weeks of testing, I have gone a different direction then most. what I have been doing is using timing boost to help the car get out of the corner faster. so I work on a combination of timing and gearing. i add 5 degrees each time until I find that the acceleration out of the corner feels soft. then I start to add more gear and see where I am. once I find a good combination of timing and gear, then I work on turbo. I use turbo mainly on the straight. it really is to raise your top speed. If there are several places on your track that you hit top speed, then you are just going to have to come up with a compromise or pick the longest straight. as far as start and end rpm i try to keep them between 1500 and 2500rpm difference. this is really because i find that any more does not get the car out of the corners any better then vegas 200. I start high in the rpm range of the motor and then work my way down 500rpm each time.
so for our "large" track, for 17.5 1/12th I ended up with the same roll out as my vegas 200 setup. I left the rpm range the default in the v203 and had 10 end bell timing and 45 software timing and 6 turbo at .4sec, ramp 2. this basically dropped my laptime .5sec a lap.
we now have a new layout. most of the guys were at the track all day and ran vegas 200 to get a good setup. then we loaded v203. in 13.5 tc. most found that they liked 10 motor timing, 50 software timing, turbo 8, .4sec delay, ramp 3 and rpm 2100-4900. motors were coming offf at 101-110 and most drop laptimes by .5 - .8 sec
i did try the larger span of start and end rpm, and really it felt softer then a narrow rpm range. i also find that anything less then .4 really does not do anything for turbo. it just ramps to early.
just fyi 17.5 is 2200Kv and 13.5 is 3300Kv
i am sure that the other setup yield just as good results

i think with 198 installed and either win7 or vista, you need to delete the hidden file.
when you install, if you run the batch file, it will do an uninstall before it does an install of the new version. also remember with win7 and vista, you need to run as an admin, so right click and select run as admin
a quirk i found. when you plug in your speedo and it need to be updated, you click the box to update your software. once you completed the install of v203 the software opens back up, but you can not click on the advance button. that is the only time I have found this to happen. if you close the software and open it back you are ok. or if you unplug you speedo and open it back, then you are good to go as well

the new layout is much more inline with the "average" size track. you can take a look at it http://www.mikeshobbyshop.com/tcmed.htm
i believe it is more like 90 x 50 now

. I came up with the same conclusion after some testing earlier. Smaller discrepancy between the start rpm and end rpm yield faster laptimes. I have about 10 -15 motor timing on my motor. Car was stupid fast. I had to increase my drag brake from 5 to ~20 to get the car to stop faster.
A few people at my track thought I was driving a mod car
. Further testing will continue tomorrow .

Duo 2
how much timing is in each notch of a duo 2..i am thinking of going up to 10 degrees on the motor...anyone have a suggestion...the track is 70 x 30...the temps on the car are 101....does anyone have anything for wgt...i am in left field with this thing...help please...same track size as above...

Finally, something I've always wanted. Can't wait to try it against my Mamba Max Pro with CHEAT mode.

Each notch = 10 degree.
Check this one out, it's from Randy.
