The new software is not release software -- so it isn't put into production units. It's Beta software, for people to try out and give comments.

You can always downgrade back the previous version if you are having issues with it.

ok, i have downgraded to 1.24 software. i hope this works. is the 2200kv motor supposed to spin in steps? :neutral:

Yes, there are 12 distinct "steps" where the rotor likes to sit, per revolution - most notable when you try to spin the rotor by hand. Is this what you are refering to?

Yes, there is sort of a lurch then go to it (I call it a sort of chop or detent). It is due to the design of the motor, it's similar to brushed. the wires are wound on iron cores but in the can instead of the armature shaft. I have a Neu 1515/2.5d, similar to your but wound different, and that is normal

Tried to race with 1.28 tonight and it was a no go. I will wait the two weeks for the new firmware. Does look very interesting though.

yes, this is what my motor is doing. so i just wanted to make sure it was fine. also is the motor supposed to be hard to turn by hand?

It will be due to the powerful magnets and motor design.

I've been off flying airplanes/helis for the past year so I've been out of it for a while, but I've got 3 MMM. Are you guys looking for anymore feedback on this beta release? or are the comments pretty much in? I had put my 1/8 buggy conversion away a year ago because the MMM and feigao 10L combo kept breaking the hardended steel shafts and the gears in the diffs. This feature sounds like what I have been looking for.

if your killing diffs with a 10l i think you have another problem..:whistle:

nitrostarter 07.29.2010 10:25 PM

Need a better buggy... But this torque control should help smooth out the power on acceleration.

hemiblas 07.30.2010 08:51 AM

RD Logics SHO buggy. Maybe I do need another buggy. But this will definetly help. The 10L broke in half one of these.

Not at the joint, but snapped it at the center of the shaft. I know the gears in the diff were stripped too at a certain point.
I'm with you guys on the 10L, but it lights up all 4 tires. I was thinking about the Castle 2200 for a while, but that would have just been overkill.

nitrostarter 07.30.2010 09:24 AM

No offense, but I've never been impressed with RD Logics quality. I associated them Integy and the like...

hemiblas 07.30.2010 09:37 AM

No offense taken and I appreciate the truth. I thought it was a bit odd a 10L taking out a CVD like that especially when my Castle 2200 puts out way more torque on my 3905 emaxx and I havent broken anything yet. I'm pretty sure the steel gears in the diffs were taken out too and thats just crazy. I think I'm going to try the torque control and see if I can keep it together. If not, I'm going to strip it down and sell it off as parts.

Thanx!
