Tekin RS up in Smoke
Just back from the track this evening, I really messed up big time with my RS ESC, I was hooking up my Reedy 5000mah 35C Lipo, for those of you who are not familiar, this pack has it's connectors (+ & -) on opposite sides of the Orion or IP type cells.
Anyhow I guess I should have been paying more attention, as I messed them up and the Speed Control is now a really expensive paper weight.
Not sure how Tekin will deal with this from a service standpoint.
Hopefully there is some kind of Idiot clause in their warranty, where I may be able to pay a smaller fee to get a new one, similar to Novak.
I did not hesitate, I went straight into the shop and bought another one, even though I had a certain Orange one in my pit box.
If someone from Tekin could comment on how this would be treated, I would certainly appreciated it, excellent products!
Cheers

It wouldn't hurt to call them on the phone and talk to them. You may be able to get a good rebuild price.
They have excellent customer service just like a good family owned business which they are.
They really took care of me on the idiot clause but my damage was more cosmetic than functional.
Good Luck.

Life, we do offer a non warranty cost that is nicely discounted for when someone might have an "oops" or "my bad" issue.
Honesty goes a long way here at Tekin. Give us a call and we'll get you handled.

It actually did have flames, when I plugged it in reverse, it puffed smoke!
Then Bawdy Shop Nick Imineo, says to plug it back in the proper way.
This is when we seen the flame!
I can laugh about it!!!
The worse part is I have my settings all saved and the speedo was perfect with my Hotwire, now I have to wire up and program the new one I purchased last night!

Off topic a little but this was an LRP TC spec speedy that had 1 foot high flames coming out of it (lucky it didn't burn too long). I was obliged to replace it even though later I found out it was faulty already - lesson learned never borrow expensive electrics... I have since bought an RS Pro and couldn't be happier.
