When you plug in the hotwire the Portal window pops up. You can hit the data log button and open files saved on your computer.

When you connect an esc the interface window opens and you can download the data logs in that esc and look at them.

The new Android version that works with 4.2 and higher operating systems and the gen1 products is in final testing with team drivers and should be released next week if all goes as expected.

Ok, but I have to have the hotwire plugged in. I just wanted to load up and look at my data logs that I brought with me on a USB stick on any computer. The hotwire seems to act like a HW dongle, which is inconvenient.

Great product btw helped me troubleshoot something really stupid.

Here's my TCS C-Main race.


Here's now.


Throttle range was increased to 150% but without re-calibrating

Just down ~9500 rpm and the end of the straight... no bigge


Another thing I saw that I would want to do is to load up the data and "render it". No such feature built in, wanted to use Camtasia, but it was too heavy. Maybe Fraps will work better. The idea I have is to overlay your graphs on videos. Also noticed that at the lowest playback speed setting it took 30 seconds to play back a minutes worth of data an even slower playback speed or an option to play it back in "real time" would be a nice feature.

Some negative feedback, I don't know how much time or money you have spent on the windows red UI. But to be blunt/frank/rude... it adds zero value to me as a consumer. When saving the data log in windows it even mucked up the file dialog.

Other than that I think The Tekin ESC + Hotwire 2.0 is amazing.

One issue that I noticed. The telemetry throttle never shows 100% even though the esc is calibrated and it's blinks showing full throttle. For the telemetry to show 100% you have to increase the transmitter throttle end point to ~110%. Torg's telemetry above shows max ~110% throttle and he states transmitter end point was boosted to 150% after calibration.

Wondering why the telemetry is not in sync with the esc calibration and if the RPM increases when the telemetry is increased to read 100%? If the RPM increases then would not the top speed increase? The car always feels faster when the throttle end point is increased after calibration. I always thought that was true because the trigger pull reaches full throttle sooner.

There are some color options in the data logger, multi window viewing(very cool), graph over lays in the data log runs, etc.
