Why is that? I would have thought sensored is the way to go as it is a sensored motor?

What does running in sensored actually do then?

Sorry to ask daft questions, but I can't find the information on the web to explain what all the different settings achieve, unless you can point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

in dual mode, you use the motors sensor for the initial drive and pick up, the RS then switches over to sensorless, this is more efficient way of driving. If you run in Sensored, you will gain more RPM but it will also make it a lot more aggressive to

Hello, any setup for a durango, with rs pro, stock spur, 7.5 V3.0 speed passion motor.

cheers

i have a hotwire

[DCM]

to be honest guys, a base setting is as I posted above, it only gets fiddly when you run in sensored only mode.

There isnt many for 4wd buggies on 5.5-7.5 motors tho that I can see

[carborush]

conserning the esc setup sheets :
what does "vegas" mean ? is that the upgrade for the esc firmeware ?

another question
if you run the esc in 'forward only/brake" mode as opposed to "forw/brake/reverse",
will there be any diffrence in the forward channel ?
or does it just simply remove reverse ?

[DCM]

vegas was a special version of v200, but we are now on v203, even better.

Yes, it just removes the reverse.

My 6.5 setup is on there. It's a 6.5

Cant see it under 4WD Off road?

[carborush]

when i use a brushed engine
the setting for brushed-forward-reverse-delay apears to be setting n5 on the esc
but the manual says it is supposed to be n6
n6 is the forward/reverse setting
it appears to be the other way around...
normal ?

[Randy p]

Which esc are you using?

[carborush]

the RS pro

[Randy p]

One reverse has a delay, one is instant reverse.

[carborush]

I know that
manual says n5 = instant reverse
n6 = reverse delay
it seems that in reality 5 = reverse delay and 6 = instant reverse

no biggy : it works anyway... , but just wanted to check...

For a 2wd with tekins RL 7.5 would I consider running in sensored or just stick to dual mode. Would it run cooler? there's really no problem now in dual mode just that I feel it to be a bit slow. I have the vegas 203 version. If I would use sensored, where do I start in the setup?

[DCM]

What is your current setup, esc and motor please.

[magnus]

I'm almost sure it's the one recomended for 5.5 turn. timing 80 limiter 85 I think. With the RS not pro and tekin 7.5t
