I have been doing a lot of research and I am going to build the heat sink a user invented on this forum for the stock motor, once i start programming the controller. I am also putting on a temp sensor onto the motor and the controller.
Does anyone have a long list of recommended settings for programming? I think I want to program 35 mph with a faster take off, and have the turf mode switch go between a 25 mph max (stock programming) and the 35 mph fast programming. If anyone has the numbers that are the best to get the most mileage / performance that would be awesome! I know there are quite a few options to go through while programming so any help is greatly appreciated.
It’s odd that these type of questions never get answered - are the programming numbers a huge secret? I will be attempting the re-programming of my 2014
Looking for guidance - I have one post to go by (based on a t2 - so only slightly helpful - I will post my results -
Top speed is hard programed at 25MPH on your 2014. You can try a sensor magnet change (less poles) or bigger tires and wheels or an aftermarket controller.
Will do - I have only had the GEM for two weeks- but I am a big car guy and have extensively moded most of my cars - so I can already see that I will be going down that route - keeps me out of trouble!
The guy came over on Monday and we programed the T1. I had changed gear ratio from 8.9 to 10.35. On his chart ratios wern’t given so we programed in the smaller tire size. Worked out well. I now run 18 in Turf and 28 in Regular. Happy Happy Happy.
Note: I had my controller serviced by Flight Systems (outstanding service) and guess what? Came back with a 255 limit. Big Brother is watching over us.
I stayed with 28 MPH because I replaced my 3 1/2 HP motor with a 5. I don’t want to wind it too tight. Also I MHO that you should have disk brakes on the front if you push speed past 30.
Spoke with Marlon the GEM whiz and he has given me a few settings to similarly fool the controller - I will be reprogramming tomorrow- looking for 30 mph
But I will probably be ordering a new motor from him Sunday
just got some heat sinks in. i’m going to put them on when I swap diffs in the next couple weeks . ill post pics . if someone else does it let me know.
no I never did .they are sitting on my work bench . the thought was since i’m running the stock 5hp to fast that it would be needed . but the motor never showed any signs of heat issues so I didn’t bother .
I doubt anyone pushes an old 5hp as hard as I have for so long (motor is a 2002) and I haven’t had a single problem.
