What's New in Powerband Precision

1.21

September 29, 2026

Big update for tuners this version: • Ask the tuner — Flag any tuning log as "Needs help / question" and it jumps to the top of the feed. The app owner can now post advice and replies directly to your log, so you get real answers on what to change. • More engine baselines — Added a large batch of factory settings, including the full Team Associated (AE) lineup, Team Associated/O.S. Max & Thunder Tiger, Reedy, and the complete Kyosho range (KE, GXR, GX, GS series) plus the Boss B12. • New troubleshooting cases — Added fixes for "engine cuts off when releasing throttle after WOT" and "hot and screaming but still heavy white smoke," with clear likely causes and step-by-step fixes. • Improved Tuning Guide — Rewrote the low-speed needle "double idle" walkthrough and refined the break-in steps for clearer, more reliable tuning. • Owner-managed content — Dyno chart uploads and sound clips are now protected so only the app owner can add or change them. Plus small polish and fixes throughout. Thanks for tuning with us!

Game changer! A+++++

Really useful app for anyone running nitro RC cars. It takes a lot of the guesswork out of tuning and makes it much easier to understand what your engine is telling you. The rich vs. lean sound comparisons are especially helpful, and the diagnostic tools are great when you’re trying to figure out why an engine isn’t running right. Clean, easy to use, and genuinely useful at the track or in the garage. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
