Tekin RS ESC sensored

IT's actually led's 5 6 7 that will dimmly cycle on/off. This is a feedback of the sensors in the motor. ALL 3 must cycle on/off or the motor has a bad sensor board. Also note that a bad sensor harness will also cause this so swap it out first as it's the cheapest and easiest to do.

problems with Novak Smart Boost?
Hi guys,
A friend of mine's car (CRC GEN XL on 1S) almost went up in flames tonight when the smart boost made a short circuit.
Has anybody had any troubles with the Tekin in combination with 1S lipo and smart boost? Or was it just bad luck?
One of the 3 capacitors broke down (so it seemed).

I stopped using the Smart Boost because it felt too inconsistant. Replacing it with a very small 220mah LiFe Rx pack was the best move. Full power to the servo and radio and the LiPo cutoff of the Tekin RS (switched on). In my opinion, the best of both worlds and no Novak problems to boot.

What are your complete settings and FDR? Adding a little motor timing has always done the trick for me. One other thing people seem to forget is to run a fan on the motor. Keeping the motor as cool as possible is key.

With the ESC on, turn the motor by hand. LEDs 5, 6, and 7 will come on dimly in sequence as the signal from each pole's sensor "reads" the rotor magnet. If you don't see them keep illuminating as you continue turning the motor by hand, then either the ESC, sensor board, or sensor wire is bad.

And if the three LEDs don't light up in a repeating sequence as you continue turning the motor, try the following:
Remove and re-seat the sensor wire at both ends. Try the test again.
If no joy, try a different sensor wire. (cheapest and easiest fix).
Try a known good motor with original sensor wire.
Try known good motor with different sensor wire.
Remove and re-seat the sensor wire at both ends. Try the test again.
If no joy, try a different sensor wire. (cheapest and easiest fix).
Try a known good motor with original sensor wire.
Try known good motor with different sensor wire.

Sensors can drop during a run so the only test is to try another motor.

Hi guys, I have just uploaded the new software to the RS Pro in my 1/12th car, and just wanted know a 'base' setting for the speedo using a 10.5 motor in the car. Got it running really sweet with the 203 software, so could anyone help me out getting going with the 208 software, and then I can fine tune from there. Thanks very much in advance! Cheers.
