Default tekin rs fried first day at track

Today i took my 22t with my brand new tekin rs to the track ran great for a while until i tried to clear a triple i had issues with all day and landed flat on the last jump the truck jerked when i got on the throttle and stopped at first glance nothing appeared to be wrong but when i got home and inspected a little further a lead on the capacitor broke and when i took the esc case apart it smells burnt and has some tiny beads of melted solder its toast i know . My question is whats the average turn around time and will they charge to repair.

This tip will not help you now but when you get it back it will (about two weeks after you get the RMA).

I secure the capacitor to the case with a piece of servo tape or a dab of shoe-goo to keep the cap from shaking loose and breaking a wire leading to a short circuit. It also makes soldering easier.

I just got my RS Pro back from Tekin and it was a great experience. Took about a 2-3 weeks but turn around was only a few days.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience

thanks I know my issue wasn't tekins fault I was just pretty much wondering about the return time and them charging the site says something like $70 for repair and from $20 to ship so I for another $60 can buy a new one because I don't think warranty will cover

You will still need to contact them for an RMA # and while doing that ask Tekin what the cost will be. Why guess or ask people who do not work there?

I had mine back in under a week. Tekin has the best service in the industry along with sticky kicks.
