I ran the RX8 and the new software in my TC at the Reedy race, yes the size is a bit of a challenge but fit well within my car. I had to move some other electronics to balance the car back out.
In Mod we had some issue keeping speedo temp down and top end rip with the RS-pro, but the RX8 had NO issues. temp on the speedo remained at 2 to 3 LED's, and the rip was amazing. We ran Dual mode still with timing at 70 to 80ish, and motor timing below 10 degrees. profile (1) on throttle, and used some current limiter to soften up the bottom end.
worked great..... after some mod's to the RS-pro and the addition of a fan, the RS-pro has performed well back at home. will be doing some more testing with the new software tonight at our Thursday Club Race, and get the feedback back to Randy.
You guys won't be disappointed nod:

I tried it with different rollout but to no avail. Is the rollout the same in dual mode as in sensord or do i need to change it higher or lower in dual??

Hey Randy, I've been thinking about getting a Spektrum Dx3S and was wondering if there is anything I need to know about my RS before I buy, such as is it compatable with the Spektrum technology? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am using spektrum with my RS Pro without any problems at all.

DX3R
I've used the DX3R with the Tekin RS for quite a while...zero glitches. ( didn't try super micro receiver but I'm sure it also works fine).
currently running with a 3PKS ...zero problems so far.

From this I conclude that there *is* a difference between full boost and 30 boost with 3.25 Hotwire. One or the other of them might actually give 30 degrees boost, but not both. Can you explain what I'm seeing?
I looked for a way to download 3.24, but didn't find it. Is that version still available?
2) The timing advance slider is displayed only in dual mode. However, because the RS fails over to dual mode when it detects a sensor failure in sensored-only mode, it is a good idea to set timing advance even in sensored-only mode.
To make this setting, is it correct that you first select the dual mode checkbox, then make the timing advance setting, then select the sensored-only checkbox? Is it correct that even though the TA setting is now gone from view, the TA value you have set will be written to the RS the next time you perform "apply settings"?
3) When calibrating my 3PK/FASST to use the RS, I found it necessary to set a non-zero subtrim on the throttle channel. In 20+ years of RC racing this was the first ESC I *ever used* to require this. Now this adjustment is not a big deal but they must cause a certain percentage of customers to get confused/frustrated, make support calls, etc. Does Tekin gain some offsetting *benefit* from requiring this adjustment? Will the next generation of speed Tekin speed controls still require it?

I've got a 3PK Super and I also only had to reverse the throttle. 0 subtrim.

Its fairly common for you to reverse the throttle channel.
Have done it with my previous Tekins and my Speedpassion GT esc's

i too thought that once sensored only mode is enabled, timing under the boost bar was always applied from 0 to 100% throttle (and from 0 to full rpms).
However, while testing the boost and gradually increasing boost from 15 to 30... i'm unable to feel the car slower in take offs... however the difference in top end is very noticeable....
i think a clarification on what is actually happening from tekin is now in order
