There seems to be a math error in the 18sz. It's multiplying motor rpm by the gear ratio instead of dividing! I hope they fix it soon. I'm not sure how that slid by the development team.

What if you put in a different ratio, meaning if your gearing is 10:1, put the inverse in, 1:10.  I don't have that radio so I don't know how you can input a ratio or gearing.  Just something I thought of.

That was my first thought as well, but the radio won't allow it. Only the first number can be entered. For example my E5 is currently set up at 8.5:1 so I should enter 8.5. The inverse as a decimal would be 0.12 but it will not let you enter a value <1. Womp womp

I just had a phone call with Clint. He is going to try to setup one of these on an 18SZ today in Huntsville. Nick Maxwell is there too so if they can confirm the issue, he will show Nick. He's going to get back to me later.

I been playing with the link also with no luck on getting the correct head speed. What I ended up doing bringing my gear ratio to 53 in my radio.

Anyone made headway or got a definitive answer from Futaba or Castle?

I hate to admit it, I have two of these and an 18sz and MZ, I haven't had time to play with it too much. They are mounted (1 on the 766 and 1 on the E5) but that's about it.

Clint did tell me you can manipulate the Pole count to get the accurate number to read.  As far as a set fix, not sure yet. No word back from Futaba.  The TLO is sending the motor pulses, it's on the TX to do the math.
