Thanks guys.

DCM; i looked at the setup sheets but it doesn't really give me the info i'm after, gives info on setting the esc when using a battery/motor combo, but i'm trying to decide which motor. but thanks it's a good resource.

Randy; which motor would be best for 5S and which for 4S, i have seen the chart on the website, but would appreciate some real world feedback from a user, i can see by the setup sheets, you have pretty much used every motor in the range. also if you could only have one motor, which would you choose? and which voltage of batteries would you use with it (large outdoor tracks).

Which voltage is best to run from an electrical point of view, i.e. efficiency, temperature etc. i've read conflicting reports on the internet whereby some say using 6S generates less heat than 4S and vice versa.

Many thanks

In general I suggest 1900 for 4s and 1700 for 5s. I have been running 1700 on 4s in a buggy though and feel it's more than enough for 90% of tracks...

My Beginners guide to using the RS with Vegas 208

http://www.carsrcracing.co.uk/?p=244

12th scale based but explains all the functions so it should hopefully be useful to everyone running an RS.

Hi hope someone can help me please, just got a rs pro second hande from on this forum and on the second night of using it at a club meet indoors the brakes have stopped working. The speedo lights up as it should, used hotwire to check settings all ok, changed sensor wire still the same. Any advice please.

Cheers

If you see the led's ramp up while braking something is off either in the esc or radio calibration.

When brakes are on fully ALL led's will light up and flash!

Perorm a radio calibration, recheck.

gaffer · #**746** 08-10-2010

Hi Randy thanks for the reply, done the calibration with trany, all lights light up but no stoppage. Gutted.

Whats the next stage?

Cheers

My first thought is that your brake strength is turned down/off. What software is in the speedo?

During full brake all led's must LIGHT UP AND FLASH. Do yours flash?

Post your complete Hotwire setup, including software version and your radio EPA to please.

gaffer · #**749** 10-10-2010

Hi Randy and DCM thanks for the reply.

1st of all yes the lights all light up and flash under braking.

Settings on hotwire

brushless forward only with brake
voltage cutoff 2s
drive mode dual drive version 208
motor direction normal
throttle profile 3
current limit off
drag brake 3
brake strength 100
rev speed 100
neutral width minimum
push control off

epa all set to 100%

Hope this helps and cheers for the help. Not that clever when it comes to electrics so be gentle.

Make VERY sure your ABS is turned off. If it is please "reset" the model in the radio you're using. I've seen Futaba's lose brake function and this will cure it.

gaffer · #**751** 11-10-2010

Not sure my trany has that facility, its the spectrum dx3r steering wheel type.

Randy p · #**752** 11-10-2010

Ok, if you're using Spektrum it's not the issue. I'd like you to try the steering channel and see if you can get brakes on that channel. Yes you'll use the steering wheel! LOL

gaffer · #**753** 12-10-2010

Hi Randy tried in different channel and its still the same, gutted. Does this mean its knackered? Can it be repaired? Its bad that when i bought it about 3/4 weeks ago the guy advertised it as only bought at the begining of august so am very surprised its played up.

Whats my next step please?

Cheers

Stuart.
