couple of questions regarding Kinetic timing values...

From reading the docs i see:
Boost Delay
Boost Mode
Timing Set Point (RPM Low)
Maximum Timing RPM (RPM Hi)
Timing Level

Questions:
1. Boost Mode says it applies maximum possible motor timing at full throttle (after boost delay). Does this jump to "Timing Level" or is it some other amount of timing?
[B]exactly as stated it alters speedo timing when full throttle is applied. say you set at 45 timing it will apply this amount untill u hit full throttle then it jumps the timing to max. great for long straights.

2. Without using Novalink we can adjust Timing Level & Timing Set Point RPM directly on the speedy. Timing Level #8 is called "Boost". What does this mean?
[B]yes,but only preset levels, level 8 is 55* plus additional amount at full throttle.

3. What is the default setting of Boost Delay, Boost Mode, Maximum Timing RPM when not using Novalink?
using profile 1 boost delay is not adjustable.
(boost mode) i assume you mean timing applied? that is 0*
max timing set point can only be set with novalink. but the default on P1 is 19.5. that is start. so at the default on the speedo you will have 0 timing applied.(sportsman)
Thanks for any reply.

Questions:

Boost mode applies the maximum amount of available timing (very close to 60
degrees).

2. Without using Novalink we can adjust Timing Level & Timing Set Point RPM directly on the speedy. Timing Level #8 is called "Boost". What does this mean?

Timing level setting #4
1 0 Timing
2 10 Timing
3 15 Timing
4 20 Timing
5 30 Timing
6 40 Timing
7 55 Timing
8 55 Timing
Once you get to full throttle (and after 100 mS delay) full 60 degree (special Novak Boost mode).

Timing set point adjust #5
Allows the user to set the starting point where the timing is applied
1 19500 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 36600
RPM
2 14000 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 29300
RPM
3 12700 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 18300
RPM
4 9100 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 15400
RPM
5 6500 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 15400
RPM
6 5500 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 13900
RPM
7 4500 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 12200
RPM
8 4000 RPM and maximum Timing (set by Timing level setting) is applied at 9100
RPM

3. What is the default setting of Boost Delay, Boost Mode, Maximum Timing RPM when not using Novalink?

100mS
Kinetic ESC timing is applied in a linear ramp up mode, at the starting RPM
approximate 3 degree of timing is applied and then its ramp to the maximum value
specified by Timing level setting #4.

Thanks for any reply.

Also, the downloads on the novak web site are not correct. The first one for the Novalink Software, will not run once un zipped.
And the update for the firmware is just the same file that is in the novalink software zip. The zip file has a different name, but when you unzip it, the file is the escProgrammer.exe file. So you might want to look at this.

Having used windows for a long time, I suspect that you should include the installer file, that way we can actually test the software out before the novalink ships. I see that it is no longer on back order on the novak site. It is everywhere else. So I should be able to get it this week. That's cool.

I can't wait to put this thing through its paces.

Do you have any starting rpm ranges for 17.5

Thanks.

Still wondering about the program not running on my windows xp machine. Is there an installer file? or should it just work. Or does it need the novalink plugged in to run?

Thanks

then the software will detect it, and splash the setting screen.

you must buy the novalink...

The Havoc Pro SC is not PC programmable. But all 8 timing levels can be adjusted from the esc.
