LRP SXX (software 3). Boost and Temping Help

Post by MeBeMikey »

Arighty, so I got the matching brand motor for my speed control and was lucky enough to have a few LRP sponsored guys at Ardent help me set up my speed control. Their setting were 3 punch and 5 boost. That worked ok but still those Tekin's were just blooooowing me away on the straight.
I decided to buy the whole kit and kabudle:
50626 aluminum endbell
50638 13.0mm works team rotor
82520 Radical motor heatsink and fan
82531 Works Team SXX power capacitor

The next weekend I raced it. Settings above each para. 0 drag on all.

Punch 2 and boost 5.
-excellent speed in the infield. Wonderful controllable torque. Speed on the straight blaaaaaaa.
temps 69c

Punch 2 boost 6
Now that's getting there. Speed on the up everywhere. Excellent setting but getting
a little too torky for me, lap time dropped. Wicked speed on straight (10ft behind Tekins
in my class)
temp 69 Still! Had car taken off from friend on side of track waiting to temp it this time.

punch 1 boost 7

what the :!;!;!,'? Holy kw
No

Had to start another post.

So...
Punch 1 boost 7
man now this is the setting. Few people around the track watched my car, those with tekins and hose without, and was told I'm almost on par with the tekins. Frigging finally....

Finalllly it has happened to me.... Lol as the song goes.

I practiced with that last setting for about 2 or 3 minutes and temps came off ok but quite hot to touch. Didn't have thetemp gun but it felt the same and smelled the same. The speed was all new to me and I reached the limits of my car and driving ability. Just a bit of practice needed.

My issue is with the temps of this motor. With the new rotor, fan and capacitors my temps dropped massively, like 15 - 20 degrees. I hit 80 a few times before I installed his stuff But with the heasink on does that change your temping #'s at all.
Thanks for any help. Been getting a lot of help and could yah share your settings and temps?

Thanks

Oh, by the way, the LRP SXX TC Spec Version 2 will not give better performance than the SXX Stock Spec per the rumours.

Thanks jay. I was just wondering that because I have all this cooling do I have to worry about the core temps Of the motor being much higher than what I read on the outside of the motor?

Jay, your settings are bang on. Did them at Ardent and tuned with temps from there and it was a totally different car. Thanks for the tip!

Jay, found out why yours speedo is faster. You have the earlier software version which is said to be more aggressive than the recent version 3. I just went on to lrp's website and it is no longer listed there. Hmmm..wonder what's up with that. Trying my best to stay away from the Tekin but cannot wait too much longer for Lrp to top it.

Oh well, back to the drawing board with this esc.

Have done some reading. Found out that an FDR of 6.5, feel 4 and boost on 6 is a good setting. I have just changed to trf416 pulleys 18/37 (was 16/36) to get a lower ratio, as running giant pinions on the motor to get a decent FDR strains the motor on the shaft and might increase friction. Oh, well, we'll see. Also found out that my Rpm camber guage was on 5 degrees so I had 5 degrees all-round last weekend. Gota pay more attention.
