Tekin RS/RS PRO on 1s Lipo Q&A

Do not under any circumstance turn on the ESC switch with a booster, you will fry the esc if you do so!! And yes the esc settings for lipo cuttoff are deactivated as the esc is not switched on.

We're testing the 1s profile now making sure it's correct. Once this is done you can ride with the switch on and have the VC work properly.

That shouldn't happen. We don't recomend it right now since if the voltage is lower than the bec's voltage we'll try to charge that circuit and eventually cause an issue.

Randy I remember reading a post where someone had the booster plugged in and turned on the esc switch and the magic smoke emerged. Now there may have been other factors and if I remember corectly he was on software 189 but I cannot seem to find that quote yet.

My guess is that something isn't wired right, probably why you can't find the post either! LOL
Assuming the wiring is done correctly it shouldn't be an issue.
However we recomend the switch in the OFF position until the 1s software is done.

I'll have a look and see if I can[t find it...

But I do have a question for you Randy, I by mistake reset my esc to software 180, figured ok I'll just download the 189 and reset. But my hotwire does'nt find any new updates when I tell it to look
Any ideas on why it will not download anything after 180??. I bought the esc and hotwire used but it hd 189 in the esc before I messed it up

Sounds like you removed the 189 version from your computer. Shoot me an email here: [email protected] and I'll get you the latest software.

Thanks Randy, sent you an email for the latest software update.

total timing for 1s
Hi,
so we have been running 13.5 1s lipo against 13.5 4-cell at our club. Not sure what others have been finding, but, a good driver with both show a couple less laps with the 1s, really pretty close. Any thoughts as to wether 10.5 1s would be just a little too much faster? BTW, the weight limit we set is 730g with 1s, so we are running lighter as well.
The track we run on is temporary, so I don't get much testing time, just race, but on the subject of timing, I slowly increased my boost each heat last race and saw a slight increase in temps but noticed a drop off in speed near the end of the race as well. I am not sure if this is due to a little more heat in the motor, got to 130 later, earlier temps were 110, or bigger drain on battery showing as a voltage loss late in the run. Forgot to chart actual ma. back into cells at beginning vs last runs. Anyone chime in with what has been working? I have had some say to really push the timing, as much as 45. Seems like at some point, even with the lower voltage you would be not running as efficiently, so really would not see any gain by going too far above the maximum, and that number seems to be around 30 degrees, as it seems to be a number that I see as about maximum timing, maybe for any set-up.
I am running 194 with my RS with a booster for receiver/trans./servo, switch off on esc.
Thanks,

Will you post a pic of your setup (unless you'll be at FW this Sunday...)? I'm planning on going 1S in the next month or two...
BTW, this may show how totally clueless I am, but I forwarded a bunch of info on voltage boosters to my electrical engineer friend...he's been known to make his own audiophile stereo stuff, so who knows? Maybe he'll see the boosters as an easy project.

Here and almost everywhere that I have read about, the 1s is run with a 13.5 against 17.5/nimh, depending on the size of the track a 13.5/nimh has a huge advantage on a straight. And to me a couple of laps is huge

Randy, thanks for the emails I'm all sorted out and looking forward to this weekend. One question, I've noticed that the first ten% or so of the radio trigger pull is just dead. On the esc you can see the lights start to move but the motor does'nt run untill around the third or forth light comes on. Is this a radio setting issue or is this the norm with the 1s and the RS esc? I'm using an M8 and did the calibrating with the brake and throttle at 100%.
Thanks
Chris
Thanks

Chris, make sure to max out your M8's epas BEFORE doing your radio cal. Also set the TP setting at 3 and NW setting at 10.
Recalibrate after these adjustments are made. Make sure your ABS function is off on your M8 as well.
It should start to roll quite quickly once you're done.
