Default Tekin RS dead after update

Just updated to the 208 hotwire software and now my esc is not working. All the LED's are flickering faintly, in the manual it says that means a poor radio signal but the radio system works great on other esc's. Anyone know how to go back to the version 203 hotwire? Thanks

Uninstall everything and then do the update all over again.

If that doesn't work, head over to the electric onroad tekin thread. Lots of good info there.

Bad news is that for some reason the communication was interupted during the firmware upgrade either by unplugging, internet disruption or a USB glitch and now it's a dead ESC. Once it dies there is no going back.

Good news is that Tekin will probably replace it for free.
