1S 10,5 combination.

[yinkymoka]

Having ran this combination for the first time indoors on carpet. I have to say i was very dissapointed on performance.
Its early days for me and Lipo but i dont know what i need to do to increase speed ,punch etc.
Maybe the rollout i was using was too low.

Ran with an LRP SPX on profile 6. Noval 10.5 at 55mm rollout. The car was so flat I thought I had a problem
Any ideas.

Gear it up Vince. You have gone from 4.2v to 3.7v a drop of approx. 12% on nominal voltage, gear it up by 10% to begin with and go from there, so your starting rollout will be 60/61 mmm/rev. I would not be suprisied if you got to 65mm/rev. They were running 80mm/rev outdoors with lipo /10.5.

And try LRP profile 8 at about 60mm. Please don't criticise something you need help sorting out - 1S in my car on 63mm/rev with Tekin boost added is as fast as my 4-cell on a regular speedo, and that's before I get the weight advantage in the infield! ;)

Ask Charles Butterworth how easy it is for me to thrash his 2S car now!! :p :D

By the time I return from Vegas, we will have all the background we need on 1S set-ups, both car and speedo!! ;)

I ran 1s 10.5 for the first time last nite too, through the infield felt fine, though no punch at all, but held my own, but down straight I got distroyed, lost any advantage through the in field and some, still early days, then speedo started playing up, motor would not move from standstill without a shove! Annoying

Will a Speed Passion lpf be ok on 1s ith 10.5?

This is what I was hoping to use.

[Chris ODonoghue]

Tim, I ran that speedo last season on 1S without any problems.

[oze]

I have got a slightly different question:
Is the 1S competitive against the 2S if speedo and motor are the same? Will the weight difference balance the difference in energy content of the two batteries?

[PDW]

No! For the same motor/speedo combination you have twice the voltage, and that means a LOT more speed. Despite the weight difference, unless there is very little grip on a very twisty track, a 2S car will always win that competition against the clock! HTH :)

Has anyone tried the gm 120 esc on 1s 10.5, mite have done a deal on one to try

[Andy Sawyer]

yes, ish

I ran 1S mod at Bedworth TORC last weekend, new track record by 5 seconds
will be running 10.5 as soon as i can, but dont see as it will be a problem
apart from having to use a Rx pack or voltage booster

[Tim Fry]

Thanks Chris.

Do you run Spektrum and will I need a voltage booster?

Thanks

[blocky]

does anyone a run a ko propo / team orion race vortex with a 3.7v lipo ?

[Chris ODonoghue]

hi tim, i'm on 2.4 futaba and at the time i didn't need to run anything else. Spektrum though, i'm not sure about. I'm running tekin now with a voltage booster

post on rctech thread says


Just be sure that your ESC has been updated to 1.5

probably has lipo cut off built into software

[Tim Fry]

Fair enough Chris. Just gonna have a mess around with it to start with but we are running a heat of GT10s for the winter
