Vampire speedo

[gav4wd]

Hope someone can help, I have the vampire +sr speedo reedy lipos tekin 13.5t motor and whatever I do the car has no punch or good top end power.
Tried sensor wires,
Gearing up and down
Every setting on speedo and timing on motor
None of above gives anything different in peformance.
Could it be the spedo is not suited to stock racing or is there something I am missing.
Any advice much appreciated

The PTS is what you want to make sure is on Max i.e. 6 flashes though I think that is how it comes from stock. You can up the punch too however as you're saying none of this makes any difference I'm wondering are your end points calibrated corrently as if you're not at 100% throttle I don't think the timing can work properly.

Thanks for reply yes all end points set to max (120%)
everything is set to max on spedo
Motor gets hot after race depending on what I've tried I.e gearing etc
Brakes are very good and it's very smooth just has no get up and go and seems at one speed throughout track.

What batteries are you running?

Have you got the current limiter on? This very much controls the punch feel and initial power delivered to the motor.

If your current limiter is set on Max, that's your problem...

I have no experience with this speedo or motor; however, what you describe is exactly the symptoms I had on my speed passion GT2 speedo.

It actually turned out to be the software.
I was running my "stock" motor and speed settings on software that was for mod. This caused heat and a drop in performance (weirdly?!)

When I updated the software to "stock" with no timing, suddenly my car was much better, and the heat dropped off.

Hope it helps.

Thanks again for help.
Yes the current limit was set to factory setting 100% as I believed that was giving everything.
Reset to lowest amount 50% and give a try on Wed hope it goes like I have stole it for a change

The current limit setting is how much current you are getting. So 100% is full, whilst 50% is the minimum. It's all in p5 of the manual.

No, 100 is full current limit, so maximum limit on the current, lowest punch effect. Set it to 0 (no flashes) for current limit off. Try it...
Setting 50% is least amount of current limit, and 100% is most limit.
