exceleron problems

[IceMike]

hey guys, i advised a young club member to get one of these for his car to make the car more consistant on power to try an teach him how to get the car up now and what the little adjustments do.

it was working fine when out on the track on its own, and i managed to plug it into the club laptop and set all the brakes and things easy enough. problems them was that when out on the track with other cars, wot we call the top heat!! so the fastest taht oswestry has to offer, the car came to a dead spot where the car jsut wasnt givin out any power. it was still fully functional with break throttle and steering but just wasnt giving any power.

after the race i moved the sensor wire receiver and added a power cap to the receiver and it worked perfectly. but i dont know which one of these changes helped, has anyone else had this problem?? it was a specific part of the track every lap which i thought was weird and obviously because of being in with us, but still need to knwo where the fault is to make sure it doesnt happen again.

ashley put it into the car an ran the sensor wire along the power cables, also the receiver wire was close to them aswell.

any ideas??

I would say the power cap might have sorted it, i always run one.

[ashleyb4]

Good job i said a power cap :p

i always use to run a power cap 2, but i dont really need to with my gtb i never have this problem. but i thought seen as its a young member that it was worth a try to keep the car workin so he doesnt get disinterested.


And to whoever it was that spotted yet another one my spelling mistakes i dont care, ppl get wot i meant and i know i cant spell, and thank you for another helpful comment when someone is asking for some advise, next time i want a comical joke ill ask you for it, cos you obviously dont know how to give advise!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to clear this up, though there is a similarity in the visual apperance of the speedos, the Losi system is nothing at all to do with Novak.

I reckon the problem was, letting Ash anywhere near it :woot:

As for the real fault, I reckon the power cap added cleared it, as the sensor wire won't cause intereference, just funny timing problems.

it was workin most the time then it would sort of stutter an then go into a low rev range then all of a sudden burst bac into life, not sure if the power cap ddi clear it totally goin down the straight afterwards it did sort of miss fire an a couple times jsut like ti was loosin the possition.


and for the record i did say to ash and to the lads dad about lettin ash do it :p:D

SORRY ASH!!:D

Has he done the latest firmware upgrade? This fixes all of these issues ;)

Yes it will, i did have that cutting out issue every now and again, it's not perfect with the new firmware, the brakes are now stronger too.

yeah they do look very similar but i know they are a totally different system

brakes dont seem to be a problem because he isnt use to using them. but when i could plug it into the laptop and have a fiddle they were workin alot better and it made it alot more controlable for him

can i ask does anyone normally fiddle wit the throttle and break curves on the speedo?? i had a look but didnt really wanna change it without some more time to test and see wot exactly it does

[Southwell]

Here is my setup: http://www.oople.com/forums/showpost.php?p=200674&postcount=78

I keep it the same normally, i found these settings the best for me after a lot of fiddling.

[IceMike]

Brilliant thank you!!! might come asking more when ive had more time to check it out and fiddle with it

[ashleyb4]

Thats why bryce said to me will you do it ashley before mike comes because your cars always look tidier than mikes and dont break where mike rarely finishs a race.

[IceMike]

ash dont make this personal!!! specially after he came to me to set it up and to get it workin properly after u had done it!! and he did say he only asked you to do it because you were there earlier when i wasnt!!

only reason y my car isnt goin amazin atm is cos i ant had the time to play with it ant set it up, but i do remember beating you by 2laps an i know i had 4wd, but wasnt an advantage when u dont have all the screws holding your steering together still in the car!!

[ashleyb4]

I was 2wd you where 4wd it was funny that i was on pole in the final :p

A

[IceMike]

ash that was because we didnt add the 2 laps that missed and didnt count on for me your best was a 24 360, mine was a 26 363

[jono83]

now now children lol
