Much More Fleta Pro esc initial settings for 2wd buggy

[The Dark Knight]

I'm looking for some set-up advice for my new Much More Fleta Pro esc in my 2wd buggy running a 7.5t motor.

 

I've only raced in blinky with my touring car & GT12 so boost & turbo settings etc are very new to me. Any advice much appreciated.

 

These are all the settings which can be adjusted, the ones in bold are the ones I like some advice on:

• Operation Mode
• Reverse Speed
• Low Volt Cut
• Drag Brake
• Initial Brake
• Full Brake
• Brake Frequency
• Power Level
• Drive Frequency
• Neutral Dead Band
• Temp Cut Set
• Boost Timing
• Boost RPM
• Boost ACC (Boost Timing Acceleration)
• Turbo Timing
• Turbo Slope
• Turbo Delay
• Rotation Mode
• Restore Default

I've set my GM Genius to blinky for running in my 210 with a 7.5t because it was quite fast enough without boost.

I've been told for club level you don't need most of that stuff and I have to agree. I run default other than drag breaks and changed the lvc. That's what I've been told to do by a lot of people.

This is what the default settings are for the ones I was unsure about:

 

Brake Frequency - 4khz

Drive Frequency - 8khz

Boost Timing - 0 deg

Boost RPM - 14000

Boost ACC - 650 RPM / deg

Turbo Timing - 0 deg

Turbo Slope - 18 deg / 0.1s

Turbo Delay - 0.1 sec

 

Am I correct in saying that it is basically running blinky just now as the Boost Timing is set at 0 deg & the Turbo Timing is set at 0 deg?

 

What lvc do you tend to run Alex? the default is 3.0V

 

The drag brake default is 10%

Although I'm only going to be racing at club level this year, next year I planning on competing in all of the Scottish Offroad Championship (SORC) rounds. Two of the SORC rounds are held at my local club which I'll be entering this year.

I'd get use to it stock then make changes when you feel its necessary or depending on the track. The track I race at really isn't big enough to use turbo but if I am on a bigger track then I will add a small amount for the straight.

[The Dark Knight]

I presume I'll be safe enough to use it with the stock settings? That was one of the things I was unsure as I thought settings would vary if using it for on-road or off-road.

Drive frequency is all about how the esc pulses the motor in Hertz over a period of time. 

 

Lower drive frequency will mean a more punchy feeling, good for stock motors where you want to be up at the top end rpm fast

where as a higher frequency smooths out the motor.

 

brake frequency follows the same trend.

 

bare in mind this is also transmitter dependant, higher quality transmitters can use the higher frequencies effectively over a cheaper transmitter

Thanks for the explanation Purcy  The manual does explain what each of the settings does but I've never had an esc with as many settings as this one.

 

I've got an Etronix LCD radio at the moment, which is serving me well but have been tempted lately to upgrade to something like the Sanwa Gemini or Exzes Z. Not sure if I can justify spending that much on a controller though as I get on fine with my current one.
