Tekin RS ESC sensored
11-15-2011, 06:40 AM
I've tried push control, and it had little or no effect. Certainly nothing like adding push control on my 1/12 scale.
I've got a tick and a half of additional timing (12deg?). I did try reducing the mechanical timing, and it did seem to help, but not much.

Randy,
Is there any movement on a Tekin 1s speedo (built in booster tech)? Seems LRP, HobbyWing/Speed Passion, Viper are able to do it, what about Tekin?

It's not a matter of can we do it. Yes we have the ability and knowledge to release such a speedo. All I can say at this point is that the RS is still running strong and is the esc to beat at the top levels of competition. However as you've all seen in the past if Tekin sees room for improvements in both software and hardware we will move forward with such a project.

Randy, if a bec booster were to be incorporated in a future ESC, it would be very nice to be able to adjust it up to 8.4v so we can take advantage of some of the newer HV servos on the market.

Boosting 1s voltage up to 8.4vs would be quite a feat. That's far more than double the voltage.

I don't think it is really all that necessary currently, maybe in the future...when I was recently searching for new servo options in 1/12th I couldn't find any high voltage servos. I wanted one so I could use a LiPo RX pack without a voltage regulator.

wire the rx pack through the switch,no regulator needed

setup
anyone know a setup for a Reedy Sonic 17.5, TC, 2S, boosted. I was told Hara ran this motor in Vegas.
Thanks

Other companies have looked at the market and deemed that there is a demand for a 1s speedo and they have responed to fill that demand. LRP, SpeedPassion/Hobbywing, Viper ... Tekin however is missing from that list.
In my area, there have been a number of people that have started 1/12 racing. When I explain to them that they will either need a rx pack, booster or a speedo with a built in booster, the first thing they ask is which speedo's have built in boosters and in the end buy one of those. It's not only easier for new racers, it's easier for all racers.
So the question remains, does Tekin see room for improvement in their current hardware?

I don't doubt if you can do it, it's will you do it? It's also not a matter of performance or software in this case but rather making things easier for the end user. No one wants to have to use a rx pack or booster if they don't have to (yet another piece in the system to fail).

When I spoke with Randy at the IIC we discussed the whole 1 cell thing...apparently the 1 cell ESCs that currently exist have a pretty high percentage of failures in the booster rendering the whole ESC a paper weight. He mentioned that one of the things they were looking at is some sort of plug in module type booster which I think is an awesome idea.

I race 1s in WGT and I currently use a receiver pack. It's really not bad at all. To be honest, even if Tekin were to come out with a 1s speedo with a booster, I still would use my current setup with the receiver pack because all the power is going where it should be, to the motor. Tekin still has the best speedo out there, and I will continue to buy their products even if they don't make a model with a booster.
Honestly, who here thinks having a built in booster is not a good idea?
