How much timing on your motor?

That is very possible. And yes batteries that cannot sustain the requirement will eventually ruin something. I'd suggest not doing that any longer.

Sounds like way to much total timing to me, need to turn things down a little, that gives you a total of 95' timing, surprised you haven't melted the motor!!

Thanks for the reply. I have tried an alternative battery and seems to have solved the problem with the stuttering.

Thanks for all you help mate. I have turned it all down as I didn't think it was right! Hopefully I haven't damaged anything. Interestingly the motor was at about 67oC when it came off. Must have the lack of current from the battery.

Out of interest what is the overall limit I should be aiming for in terms of timing? And how do you work out what the constant and burst current is on the speedo?

Thanks again.

Don't worry, your ESC can delver more than your motor can accept.

I always worked on a limit of between 50 and 65' total timing maximum, you got to experiment with differing amounts to suit your driving style, I found that a low timing on the motor helped with punch off the start line and using the ESC to recoup the speed, last time I did a 13.5 it was

10' motor timing
40' boost timing
12' Turbo
End RPM 20,000
Start RPM around the 3,000rpm
Turbo Ramp 2
Delay of 0.15

Don't be afraid to turn the limiter down to 85%, this will help reduce some of the heat build up and resist the temptation to turn everything to the max to.

The Rx8 Gen benefits from the new hardware/software package as the RS Gen2 line does. So yes it's smoother, runs a bit cooler esc wise,etc.

Default Rx8 probs

Hi peeps,

My rx8 has started doing some strange things. All of a sudden during a race it lost all power and started cogging. I took the sensor lead out and still the same. I changed the sensor lead.... Still the same. I changed motors...... Still the same. I re-saved the settings again and again and....... Still the same!!

There was one difference after re-saving the settings - the fault code displaying on the speedo is wrong motor type???

This speedo has been ultra reliable for the past year or so, without skipping a beat, so seems strange to just pack up on me now!!

Any help gratefully received!!

Jay
