6. ING OPTION MOTOR POWER VIPER VTX series ESC offers advanced timing system for extreme racing competitions The MOTOR POWER has 2 sections with 5 parameters It allows you to set up and enhance acceleration and top speed performance Tips Always start testing the MOTOR TIMING with minimum advanced timing Most sensored brushless motors have 30 degrees physical advanced timing with adjustable end bell for more or less timing The total advanced timing motor ESC should not be over 60 degrees for optimized performance and efficiency Warning MOTOR TIMING option generates a lot of power and will easily overheat and moreover to damage both ESC and motor VIPER R C SOLUTIONS will not be responsible for any equipment damage caused by MOTOR POWER settings ACCELERATION BOOST Start RPM Parameters from 500 to 30000 RPM 500 RPM incremental This sets the start RPM that acceleration timing engages This parameter should be based on the motor KV and the track condition To calculate Start RPM Start RPM Motor KV x 6 4 x 0 3 For example if the motor KV is 2000 it will be 2000x6 4x0 3 3840 Then you set the START RPM 3500 to 4000 Set Up Tips Lower start RPM does not mean to have more power at lower end The motor needs to have enough RPM before the acceleration timing could kick in efficiently Try to start the parameter at higher side and monitor the motor temperature before making next adjustment Finish RPM Parameters from 500 to 5
