Hello everybody,
i have my ESC of the Kraton V4 (the blx 185 esc) burned.
I have now the ESC of the Kraton V5, the SPMXSE1150.
In the manual i saw in the programmable options "Timing (degree)".

Which Timing setting for the BLX 2050KV 4047 (Motor of Kraton V4)???
 
Lowest.
You can up it a bit if you want more speed (it’s like a pinion change). But watch out for temps
Ok.
Lets take a look at the manual. I have questions about it, because there are differences.

First the German Manual, Second the English Version and Last the "short" programming Guide.
https://spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/Firma-Manual-DE.pdf (look Page 31 - 34)
https://spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/Firma-Manual-EN.pdf (look Page 8 - 11)
https://spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/SPMXSE1150-Programming_Chart.pdf

Now, if i follow the instructions "Button Programming", i only have 8 Options and not 11 like in the manual.
And this is now the Problem...
I don't know if i can set the timing.
But in the last one, the Programming Chart (last link) there are 8 options...
Default is 22,5°

In the german manual, you see is the default 0° AND 15°
In the english version, you see 15°

What the hell is now correct?
And what default is used for the kraton v5? i mean in cooperation with the spectrum firma motor

At this moment, the motor works, but I have concerns about the temperatures of motor and esc.

I think I know which is the correct diagram. The last one, also what jkflow posted. Thank you.


Now ...
I tested all timing settings without the pinion.
I can't hear any difference.
Whatever i set, the motor got fast hot.
Half Throttle, one minute, i cant touch the motor.
Is this normal? I mean, the motor don't need much power to hold the rotations...
How hot does your engine get?
 
I'd like to know the answer to the question as well. Both Firma 150 2050kv combos I have get smoking hot with timing at default even when I'm taking it easy. Spektrum's shoddy documentation doesn't even specify if the damn motor is delta or wye. Any guesses?
