I already have timing and start power at lowest, don't like to turn up the punch control too much or I lose the ability to correct mid-air. Also, a buddy of mine smoked an RX-8, and he was told by tekin that part of the reason could've been that he was using the EPA at 80%.

thats total bull. changing you epa is equivelant to putting a foam block behind the trigger on your radio. All epa does is limit the max throttle percentage. if you set it to 50% its like holding the trigger half way from neutral to WOT


the signal the esc sees is that of the percentage of throttle.... I dont thhink the speed controller died because it didnt go full throttle....


on another note. i race with a guy who runs 3 rx8 systems, they run amazing, just as much power as the castle system- but the same guy blew the rotor in 2 of the 3 systems all in one day :(
