Well-- I finally did the SMART thing and went to the Tekin web pages---and DOWN Loaded the "experienced guys" settings for various motors and conditions. I've got 1/12 scale cars and 1/10 sedans---13.5 motors--17.5 motors--and carpet tracks -- asphalt tracks!! Once I checked out the reccomendations-- I learned a LOT about what I was doing wrong.
Gee---use some of these--IE the 1/12 carpet 13.5 setup--and WOW--nice speed and power through the infield and ballistic down the straight!!
LIFE IS GOOD!!!
Thanks Tekin--- you guys have got it right!!
Sorry these guys are having trouble with the Pro-- I'm happy with my RS systems.

if you blow the motor, it shorts out the windings, and will also think its the wrong motor. thats what has happened to me in the past with the 1,2 & 6,7 flashing.

I changed the engine, transmission cable sensors and reset the esc, set the radio but nothing.

I just wanted to know if they send in care what it cost me?

I already spent 240 Eruo in Italy for the Tekin RS pro.

Originally I thought I had a motor problem, but after swapping out the esc I am using the same motor and wiring and it works fine. I really believe at this point the esc is damaged internally and will require repair by Tekin. Still hoping I am wrong though.

Can someone explain the specifics of adjusting timing in sensored only and dual mode? I read somewhere that in sensored only mode, timing can only be adjusted via the endbell, not through the timing boost setting in hotwire. In sensored only mode, does adjustments made to turbo boost and turbo ramp affect timing? Finally for good infield response in sensored mode, can I reduce motor timing via the endbell to gain acceleration while raising turbo timing/boost to increase top speed?

Thanks in advance

motor timing is indefinite through the rpm range,when accelerating motor timing starts then timing boost is applied from the start of the rpm range and ends at the end of the set range,turbo comes on after full throttle and set delay in ramp 1,2,3. lower the endbell will help the accelerating but you need to test when adding timing boost and turbo.if you need more we will get in depth a little more

It sure seems that there are an awful lot of issues with Tekins ESC's lately.

I knew of problems with the RX8 also, yet no public comments are posted as of any running changes or updates made to this ESC or to the RS series of ESC's.

I fully support Tekin as they work through some of the problems with reliability they are experiencing. However, it would be nice to publicly state any revisions they are making, and how this will affect any warranties. If I buy an older (current model now) ESC that is prone to having issues, I would think it should be covered under warranty if any updates have been done. The issue may be mute if a new model/revision is released??

I found out today that I have a 'bad' 200 version software for the Hotwire. It says 'Beta' on it and allows the motor timing to be advanced to 50 degrees. Another fellow racer just happen to glance over and notice it. It said it will over heat the motor and to get rid of that version.
I need 200 version due to VTA - Ugh

I use the Tekins in SCT, VTA, 4wd SCT, 1/8 scale (RX8), 1/10 stadium trucks, 1/10 4wd etc etc... (damn I have too much stuff - lol)

So I support Tekin through their 'learning curve'. How will Tekin be supporting those people in return?
Can anyone help me get a good version of the 200 software please

Peace

Hi, who do I contact to send in my tekin esc ? It blew up yesterday

thanks

TheCoolCanFanMan

Still no joy. Any more ideas plz guys
Cheers Malc

check your sensor cables, if its still the same you may need to send it back to tekin for service.

Malc, lights 1,2,6,7 means that the wrong motor type is selected. when it "reset" itself, maybe it went to brushed ?

When I had that, one of the phases was burned on the ESC.
The esc had run fine for 2 days, suddenly the car stopped on the straight, it showed max temp lights (was only 2-3 leds in noral operation).
I disconnected the pack, let it cool down, reconnected and leds 1-2 & 6-7 were lit up. Nothing I did could change anything.
Motor ran fine on another speedo.

Sent it to Tekin repair and it was returned within 3 weeks.

brrrrm

These are the instructions. When I sent in my blown RS they offered to replace it for $74 + postage. Pretty good deal. But that's Tekin for you
