esc boost setting help 2wd indoor off road
 

Hello. I'm looking for some advice on setting up the boost settings on my esc for a tight off road 1/10 carpet track.

1/10 2wd (hobao h2 with an 21t pinion 76 spur giving an FDR of 9:1) 8.5t brushless (3980 KV) motor, 2s lipo, Turnigy trackstar esc 120amp.

The motor has a minimum of 15 deg endbell timing (current setting)

Boost timing set at 15 deg

turbo set at 10 deg

Boost start rpm 4000, boost timing acc 100rpm/deg, turbo slope 18/deg/0.1s, boost delay 0.25 sec.

At the moment it goes like S**t off a slippy shovel, bags of acceleration and temps are fine after 6 mins. Worked well at a larger outdoor astro/grass track.

The settings I need some help with are: Boost timing start rpm (4000) and boost timing acc (100rpm/deg).

Do my settings look right for a tight indoor carpet track with jumps? Thank you!:thumbsup:

To be honest I see no use for boost when indoors on a tight twisty track. The straight is the easiest bit of the track and your only there for 2 seconds or so - depending on layout.

I run an x20 LRP 7.5 powered by an LRP flow works esc and find it has a little too much for indoors.

Isit really essential you use the boost, or are you better off focusing on the infield?

As Paul says, can't really see why you'd want any boost or timing on a tight indoor track? If it was me I'd turn it all off.

I understand what your saying but some equiptment runs cooler with a little timing and or boost.

Saying that you would turn off the torbo/boost are you gearing differently and getting other temps on your equiptment?

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I guess turbo indoors = crash at the end of the straight!! Have turned it off.

It seems that boost start rpm and boost timing acc fine tune the motor power band. So you can tune it for any particular track infield. It certainly took a few reads to get it sorted in my head! :confused: :lol:
